Cosby Campground

Campground was perfect and the hosts were great. Only problem was the maintenance man, I believe his name was Robert, he was very rude on our one encounter with him.

First, the restroom doors are lacking a hydraulic closer, so every time someone used the restroom, the door made a loud bank when they entered and again when they left. Very annoying at 6:30 in the morning. The campground was half or more empty, I cannot imagine what the sound would have been like if it was full.

Second, there was a guy who was apparently an employee of the campground who pulled up in a ATV and without any introduction started hollering "You cannot do that!" and without any further explanation. I asked him to explain more than once before he told us that one wheel was slightly off the parking strip. I am not arguing that I was wrong, but he should have first introduced himself than explained the problem calmly. I believe his name was Robert.

I will not be returning to this campground again anytime soon.

Myself and my daughter and son were ready for an early night by time we’d arrived after hiking 20 mi Ranger Station the two days before. We had plans for early start to Mt Cammerer. At 10:30 pm, after we’d fallen asleep, two cars and seven people pulled up to camp site next to ours and headlights and flashlights and getting on was like middle of day they built a big fire and set up three tents. They carried on well last 12:30 am. Was our bad luck they reserved this spot at last minute apparently. Plenty of open spots t/o campground and none taken next to us when we reserved. So, just a good ex of what can deal with at campground despite the guidelines. They packed up early and left trash all around site. They weren’t camping so much as just partying and blowing through. Not an issue of campground, right? In fact, I’m reserving again for June. Campground is nice and great hiking all around.

Well maintained campground. Lots of scenic hiking trails - views from the mountains were impressive! Only improvement I'd recommend is to add showers. I'll be back!

After spending 3 nights in Cades Cove campground, Cosby was a world away and completely different. Basic campground but pleasant and with hikes around that I had not done before. I didn't use the restroom as I have one in my rig. Able to get cell service out at the turn in to the campground by the GSMNP sign. At the site there was no AT&T or T-Mobile service even with a WeBoost.

I love Cosby. This site is one of the more private ones. They could have moved the fire pit back some from the road, but overall, still a great site and location.
