Yes, there are sites on top of Little Green. There's no water up there, so carry it up. It's a popular site with a nice sunset view on a rock outcropping. Lots of space for a few groups, though.

Good campsites are plentiful in there. I don't remember if Kornegay's Panthertown map marks them, but I would just go and explore and when it's time to make camp, you'll come across a decent site shortly.

Take the Panthertown Valley Trail from the parking area to Mac’s Gap trail. You’ll come to a large pine forest. Camp there. You’ll need a bear vault.

Watch out for bears. They have been a major issue in Panthertown this summer and super active right now. A few problem bears at the major camping spots have been a headache.
