Roamstead
Cosby, Tennessee
27 RV Sites, 21 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites, 9 Yurts, 1 Airstream
Roamstead in Cosby, TN, offers 27 full-hookup RV sites, 21 cabins, 6 tent sites, and 10 Airstream and yurt rentals, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 44 feet.
RV sites break into four categories — deluxe, standard on-stream, standard off-stream, and water-and-electric — with full-hookup sites carrying water, sewer, and electric plus site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. The on-stream sites put running water a few steps from the door. EV charging is available on the property, still uncommon in this corner of Tennessee. Laundry, a bathhouse, a general store, firewood, a dump station, and on-site dining round it out. Pets are welcome, with a dog park.
An outdoor pool, a spa, a pavilion, a community fire pit, and a playground fill the grounds, with hiking and creek fishing from the property.
Cosby sits on the eastern edge of Great Smoky Mountains National Park — the quiet side, well away from the Gatlinburg corridor, with Clingmans Dome and Abrams Falls a drive away and less-trafficked trails much closer.
Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. On-stream sites and the Airstreams book earliest.
