Quick Facts
Why Cosby & the Great Smoky Mountains
Cosby sits on the northeastern border of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, offering easy access to the park while staying genuinely off the beaten path from the busier traffic of downtown Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The area is a short drive from Midnight Hole, one of the most popular swimming holes in the Smokies, and connects to the scenic Foothills Parkway for sweeping mountain views.
GLAMP’s domed tents lean into comfort with private hot tubs and in-tent bathrooms, giving guests a genuine escape close to the park without sacrificing modern amenities.
