    Need campsite suggestions GSMNP Cosby Campground

    So I have a last minute camping trip planned by a friend for tonight and he is a ground dweller. I wanted to see if anyone knew of any campsites in the Cosby campground that would be suitable for hammocks. I really don't want to go to ground.

    I've got nothing for you. That campground has always been full when I tried to get reservations.
    Enjoy yourself - looks like a great weekend to hike up the river.

    I have stayed there many nights and most the lots have trees. Should be able to find one with no problem as most the sites are first come basis. Have a great weekend.

    Too late for you but for others, click HERE for photographs of every campsite in Cosby as well as many other campgrounds throughout the country. Hope you had a great trip!

    Thanks for the info. I didn't know such a site existed.

    It was a great weekend. I had a little trouble with my underquilt but other than that I had a great trip. Hiked up to Mt Cammerer for the day on Saturday. What a view!
