How do you define backpacking?
There are some sites used by fly fisherman a lot on Hazel and Eagle Creeks, across Fontana Lake from Fontana Dam. You can pay to have a boat drop you off or take kayaks. There is a hike to get to the sites, but I don't think it is too far, may depend on whether there is a designated drop zone by the Park (there sometimes is) further from your site.
That is a pretty secluded area, so it may not be what you're looking for. About as backcountry as you can get in GSMNP, I believe.

Thanks, guys. I'll look into these.
Well, we'll have a carload of crap, I'm sure. And, we'll be taking the big tent, which is enormous and heavy. So, basically, we'll have to drive up to the campsite. Personally, I'd rather go backpacking, but with the wife and kid, and the long stay, it's just not really going to happen. We couldn't pack enough stuff to keep them happy that long.
