Cosby Group Camp

Great spot and beautiful

Beautiful campground. Enjoyed our stay with our scout troop and look forward to returning someday!

In regards to our stay: Knew going in that there wouldn't be any shower-rooms, but wish there was, as that would have made it a definite 5-star. We ended up spending one of our days (while in Gatlinburg), at one of those indoor waterparks, so we could get showers in. Bathrooms however were nice, well kept & well placed throughout the campground. Guardhouse was only open the day we arrived (for our 4night stay), so that was a little concerning that the in-and-out of visitors wasn't being monitored (it was kind of a dead week though in terms of campers onsite). But due to such, quiet hours on Saturday night wasn't enforced & the group next to us was there for a family reunion and was very loud; until at least midnight (quiet hours is supposed to start at 10pm). No cell service in the camp, which we knew going in, so not a complaint... just making others that might be reading this aware. There was cell service as soon as we got to the entrance of the camp though, so it's not a full blackout in the area in general. Got our certified-Firewood from Cosby's Run just outside the campground. Lady was really nice, but would recommend getting it when you see them open, because their hours were sporadic. We purchases 4 bundles for around $32-35bucks, which lasted us 2 nights (almost 3). Also, if you are booking a "Group" site and pulling a trailer (like we were for our scout troop), the only "Group" site that had a parking pad physically attached to the campsite was the "Handicap Accessible" site. Given we didn't book that site, we had a lot of back and forth walking to the trailer to get our gear, food, etc... it wasn't horrible though, just a FYI that if you HAVE-TO-HAVE your trailer close to your site that your best (although not proper) option is to book the Handicap accessible site. But again, we managed just fine having our trailer within walking distance...

Great group site and campground. Not crazy busy like other park campgrounds.
Bathrooms were in excellent condition. Thank you for the hand soap in the bathroom!!
Only frustrating part was having to walk our stuff up the hill from the car. Not bad but hard for elderly campers.
Thank you for all you do to provide an excellent outdoor experience!

Great group campsite. Took my scout troop and we rented group sites 2 and 3. Good space for my group of 20, but I'm glad we booked two sites and not just one, as we would have been very cramped on a single site given our number of tents. Sites 2 and 3 work better together, as 1 is slightly separated. Good mature trees to hang some hammocks, good access to bathrooms, water, and trash. A small creek runs near the campsite on the other side of the road offering fantastic background sound at night. There is some parking right at the site, and a small parking lot very close but closer to site 1. It was very quiet and not packed the weekend we camped. Each site has one or two picnic tables, one fire ring, one grill, plus the tent pads mentioned in the details section (appx 3 large per site). We were able to pitch 3 tents comfortably on some of the larger pads, and could have probably squeezed another one on if needed. Bathrooms have toilet paper but no soap and no showers. There may be showers elsewhere in camp, but we were only there to sleep and didn't go looking. No cell service with any of the carriers. Didn't know this until we arrived, but no need to check in, just go directly to the site.
