I just returned from there today. My maps in the car so will give better info on a location I found twenty minutes from water, just off of the Crest Trail. Plenty of trees. You may not find perfect trees for the group to be all close together but it may be just what you're looking for.

Where the good water is (check mark), the site I stayed at along the Crest trail is about 20 minutes away.....the sign for water (with slash mark...couldn't find water at this spot along the Crest tr.) is about 5 minutes beyond. So, if you fill up your water bottles and hike to the next water sign, you've gone too far..... the site is on the right hand side of the trail. There is a slight slope heading down thru the trees....further down it starts to slope more. I stayed between the trail and the steeper slope. But, I didn't know it until later, down the steeper slope area it levels out and lots of trees for hanging there too.....
....the white trail between 19 and 20 is the Crest Tr......going from Massie Gap cw ....
