Stayed two nights in Cosby Campground. It’s very wooded and nice. No power of water at the sites. Each site has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Downside is a lot of the sites are small and close together. We stayed in site A21 and our neighbor was very close and at a slightly higher elevation so we felt very lacking in privacy. At night you can hear a lot of other people moving about in the campground but it quieted down by 9pm. Most of the tent sites have parking on the paved road and you walk a few feet down to your site. Having all the cars parked along the road made it feel packed and tight on a Friday night. We were close to the bath house- it was lit at night and had toilets and a sink with running water. There are several hiking trails that leave from the campground but the campground is located on the edge of the park, pretty far away from most of the central attractions. There is no fee to enter the park- we checked in after hours without talking to anyone and it was easy. Not my favorite campground but far from the worst.

Beautiful national park camp with hikes right from the campground. Most of the sites are level and while there isn't much vegetation between sites, they are spread out pretty well.
