We loved the spaced out sites and primitive camping that the campground offers. Hiking trails were great right from the campground. Our 6 and 8 year old loved henwallow falls and the nature trail. No hookups. Dump station and clean water available. No cell service.

We stayed at Cosby National Park Campground for 3 night at $17.50/night. Our primitive site#21 is on top of the hill with small creek running down hill right next to our site. The sound of water in the creek will be soothing for your night cap. A hiking trail ends with water falls is just run parallel with the creek and plenty of mosquitoes to keep your hike lively. While all campsites here were primitives but nearby clean and functional bathroom with plenty of water spigots around the campground and dump station (at the exit) make our stay comfortable. WiFi or LTE is none existence. OTA TV signals is zilch. This is as close to primitive camping as it gets, which maybe a big turn off for some folks.

The price is right and you’re in a National Park. The sites are paved and some are level, ours was not. For as large as it is, it’s very quiet and lightly used. For those that love to camp, this is a great place!
The downsides are: it’s a fair distance to the part of the park with the most things to see. There are no hook-ups or showers. If cell coverage is important to you, this is not where you want to stay.
