Fontana Lake camping? - WhiteBlaze
Sounds like you're wanting to avoid camping as GSMNP designated campsites. But if you're wanting to camp on the north shore, that's GSMNP land and you're required to camp only at designated campsites with a reservation/permit. So you would be limited to either one of the boat-in campsites, or hike into one of the back country campsites along north shore such as 86, 81, 77, 76, or 98.
