Beautiful, more remote, more shaded, and cooler due to elevation compared to other campgrounds in the park. Someone was accidentally in my group site, that should have been in one next to it for 1 more day. So I had to reset up my camp next day again, so only minor complaint. But I carefully chose this campground out of others for a reason, and glad I did. Worth the extra driving to the most visited places.

Cosby campsite was lovely - clean facilities, well kept campsite. Great location near AT, white water rafting, climbing, ziplining etc. The group sites had two large tent pads. I do not think it would be comfortable for a group of 20 at each of the three sites - they are not that large and share one restroom house (ladies room had three stalls) with other sites as well. It would be very crowded with that many people. Fortunately none of the three sites was full while we were there!
