I guess that depends on what you call close. If I remember correctly, the campground and visitor's center are about 7-8 miles from the BLM land (what you are calling a campground) on the southside. Personally, I think the BLM on the north and south side of JTNP is pretty flat, empty, and kinda boring. If you want scenery and a unique landscape, I suggest camping in the canyons to the south.
