I live on the east coast in NC - I am looking for someplace that is awe-inspiring beautiful. I want to be out in nature for the new year - the more remote the better.

I love to hike and backpack camp so thats not a problem.

Thanks!!

Are there any good campsites around Greensboro, NC?

I am not trying to travel very far but I would like to do a little camping, hiking and the normal camping stuff.

Answer
Greensboro is not that far from Pilot Mtn State Park and Hanging Rock state park which are both beautiful NC parks with camping and hiking. Both have rock climbing and fishing as well-I've camped and hiked at Hanging Rock and hiked at Pilot Mtn:

You're also not that far from Doughton Park in the Blue Ridge Parkway which has camping and hiking and is gorgeous-I've camped and hiked in the primitive camping area: http://www.nps.gov/blri/planyourvisit/index.htm

fyi: The Appalachian Trail can be difficult to hike and has many shelters but don't provide camp grounds-but some of the shelters are near camp grounds and hostels. I've hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail and it usually was challenging-I stayed at campgrounds or hostels not at the shelters as you usually have to backpack to the shelters.
Have fun!
