Here's a few books to get you started exploring some out of the way places.
I grew up paddling around this area, and this sounds like a great weekend trip. 18 miles downstream should definitely be doable in two days. I see you’ve gotten a lot of good advice already, so the only thing I really have to add is make sure you know what to expect.
This is my favorite guidebook for this area: http://www.amazon.com/Paddling-Eastern-North-Carolina-Ferguson/dp/0972026819 I’d definitely get it and read about the sections you’ll be paddling. Literally includes everything you need to know, plus general tips for padding rivers, river camping, etc.
I’d definitely check this site out as well: http://tarpamlicowatertrail.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=25&Itemid=299 Lots of great info about camping in this area, including platform camping.
Lastly, if anyone is looking for a nice day paddle along the Tar-Pamlico, I love the area around Washington. Usually I eat an early-ish lunch at Backwater Jack’s Tiki Bar, and then put in at the boat ramp right there or head over to Goose Creek State Park.
