He could camp just beyond the wall.
Didn't the night watch rangers who turned into wights turn while at castle black, which is technically south of the wall?
Youre right he could go just beyond the wall if he just wants a wight. Tho he'd have to find someone to take up there and murder so they could become a wight which isnt really something I would expect from Jon. Killing a person just to prove to Southron's that the dead do rise.
There is the possibility that Jon and his group intend to capture a white walker to show the South exactly who the enemy is. If thats what he is doing then he will have to go far North to capture one.
Personally, I think he is trying to capture a White Walker. They are the real enemy. They are the power driving the dead. They are the brains behing the enemy army. Taking a reanimated corpse South doesnt prove the existence of the White Walkers. I the Southrons would look a single mindless reanimated corpse not much of a threat to an armed host. The South in all of its arrogance would likely skoff at a single reanimated corpse. Taking a White Walker South however would probably motivate the South more. So that may be what Jon and his group are trying to do.
