Cosby is absolutely gorgeous. A few things - no showers and read the fine print on where your trails start if you are going hiking.

Campsites were pretty close together, but not horrible. Had several campers cut through mine to get to bathroom. Not sure how I missed the location on the map when reserving, but either way kind of rude behavior at the site at least for that reason. Little noisy after hours, but not horrible,

Thought it was weird that you couldn't purchase a parking pass on site. Was going to hike after checking out, but was told had to go to a grocery store to purchase. Not really sure I understand that, but if you plan on hiking after checking out, be aware of that issue.

Overall, good campground. Good hikes (Snake Den) out of the campground. Nice running water with really cool bridge if you make it up the mountain (about 1200 ft climb / 2.5 miles away from camp).

Great spot! Being close to the restrooms has its pros and cons but it was nice to know when the bathroom was empty.

The campsite was well maintained and easy to get in and out of. Very secluded feel to this area of the park, lots of wildlife. The nature trail is definitely worth walking.

Campground was a clean, wilderness atmosphere and quiet at night. Fire ring, picnic bench, and room for about 2 tents max on the pad.
Only complaint was that one Men's restroom water closet at B loop was backed up for my entire 3 night stay.

Great campground. Very quiet, lots of trees. Picnic table, fire ring with grill grate, and a level pad for your tent. Close to Gatlinburg but not in the high traffic area. Highly recommend!
