Cosby, TN · 67 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Roamstead was born on a family RV trip across the country. Our founders noticed their glamorous plans often ended in glorified parking lots or dirty campgrounds without amenities or thought regarding design. Alongside that, many campgrounds seemed unapproachable to those who hadn’t been before. A vision was born to reinvent 'roughing it' in a way that could welcome all adventurers to experience the magic of the great outdoors.
We believe the beauty of nature should be experienced by everyone. It's good for your health, and the more we connect with and learn about the outdoors, the more we'll feel compelled to protect it. Whether you've been camping all your life or this would be your first trip, we're here for you. We aim to build a bridge (you know, a metaphorical one) to the great outdoors, where all adventures can truly feel welcome.
Roamstead is committed to making our outdoor spaces accessible to everyone. At our Smoky Mountains location, we're partnering with Friends of the Smokies to do just that. Friends assists the National Park Service in its mission to preserve and protect the Great Smoky Mountains National Park by raising funds and public awareness, and providing volunteers for needed projects. They restore trails, build handicap accessible access points, and provide urban youth educational opportunities in the park, to name just a few of their many projects. A dollar of each stay at Roamstead Smoky Mountains is donated back to Friends of the Smokies to help continue their mission.

Hot Springs, NC · 2 sites
When you go to sleep, there's no light except the moon and stars, no refrigerator or central heating or air conditioning noise -- only the sounds of nature -- the stream, crickets or frogs in the nearby pond, dogs or coyotes in the distance. Without the glow of a nearby city, the hot tub on a clear night, the skies are dazzling.
Speaking of which, the wood-fired hot tub is made by a company called Snorkel. It's perfect for 2 and can fit 3, although tight. It's Japanese style hot tub bathing, meaning no chemicals. Also, since we're not grid tied, it relies on a firebox heating fresh spring water, which you fill it with. It takes approx. 35 minutes to fill the tub and between 3 and 3.5 hours to heat (longer when it's really cold!). There's a thermometer in it, so as it gets closer to your liking (don't let it get over 102 degrees), let the existing logs burn down, choke off the air vent sleeve and hop in. With no pump sounds and the stars above, it's incomparable. The $50 fee (per 2 night rentals) covers thorough cleaning between guests and split firewood.
You will be very comfortable in Little Good Egg, even in extreme weather, simply by paying attention and taking more time for simple tasks. It sounds corny, but there is a meditative quality to thinking and doing things like heating water, keeping warm, staying hydrated, eating well and choosing to do what you really want. I'm always amazed how busy I am -- and how different this kind of busy feels -- without electronics and my technological "time savers." Odd as it sounds to say this, it's stunning and wonderful to go "offline," even for just a day, and not get hit by little chirps and incoming messages that seem to arrive now 24/7.
Note: Since we opened in October, 2014, guest reviews consistently tell us us best thing about staying at Good Egg is being off the grid and the treadmill of modern life, unplugging from the dominant culture and experiencing oneself as humans did 100 years ago and more.
Whether it’s the absence of electricity (in the cabin), the quiet of the country, no city glow in the night sky, or the once common experience of the natural world dominating over human-made or human-crafted things, it’s astonishing for many of us to see and feel and experience without constant communications via text and email and the distractions of modern life. Many people write that they’ve learned an enormous amount about themselves, about homesteading or permaculture, and about alternate ways of being.

If I could rate this 6 stars I would! The place was so clean! I usually have dust allergy issues every place I go, but I had zero issues here. The set up of the cabin was perfect for two families, there were nice little thoughtful touches, and the customer service was fantastic. Response times were so fast so we didn't have to stress about anything at all.

1 night at Twin Valley Horse Ranch
Everything is a close walk, the creek/lake is pretty central to everything and it has plenty of fish. Although the fish seem to only bite for meat not artificial bait. Once you have meat on the hook you can see them show up in groups for it.
All the animals were friendly, or at least curious about us and gentle with our toddler.
July makes it too hot and too mosquito-ee to get out and enjoy the trails but the land was beautiful and have no cell service preventing those never ending work calls and emails was amazing as well.

This campground was so beautiful. Secluded, each camper has total privacy, but host made sure to give us contact info in case we needed something or in a pinch. If you are going to car camp in the Smokies- this place is for you and it's away from all the crazy tourism of some of the surrounding areas while still being smack dab in the center of gorgeous mts. Unbeatable value for the campsite.

1 night at Meadowview Springs
We really liked the cabin and its rustic yet contemporary feel. However, it seems like it wasn’t intended for use during Tennessee summers where it can be 80+ degrees inside at night. There was a propane heater which I imagine would make this a really cozy place in colder months but obviously we didn’t need it for our stay. The fans & power bank that the host provides plus having the windows opened helped but it was still uncomfortable.

Weekend Trip to Mountain Top Cabins on Private Land
We had such a peaceful and memorable stay at Cabin 2! The hike up was challenging but incredibly rewarding, and the views made every step worth it. It was so quiet and relaxing up there. We highly recommend hiking up to Big Bald for both sunrise and sunset. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking.
The breakfast each morning was delicious, with plenty of fresh and healthy options. We loved our stay and hope to come back in the fall to experience the changing leaves!

This was a perfect remote mountain top get away. Better back light, straight up the mountain the whole way, great hike! Doug was the best host. It was so nice to have someone from the local region with his local knowledge and ways. Didn’t want to leave.

Twin Valley Horse Ranch and Bed & Breakfast is such a delightful place! This is our second visit, and we truly appreciate how Janice has created a warm and welcoming environment that is also dog-friendly. Finding spots that welcome us and our furry friends can be tough, so we’re grateful for this special place. Luke’s Cabin is cozy and comfortable, equipped with everything you might need. We also love that here, you can disconnect and enjoy the tranquility without Wi-Fi. It’s a perfect home base for exploring the beautiful Smokey Mountains and nearby attractions, especially Dollywood, which is just about a 30-minute drive away. Whether you want to fill your days with adventures or simply relax by the lake or fire pit and spend time with the animals, there’s plenty to enjoy. We recommend all of Janice’s wonderful facilities, but our personal favorite is Luke’s Cabin.

Our second visit, and we love staying at sandymush! We didn't get a sunset this time because of the rain, but that just means we'll be back for more!

2 nights at Paint Rock Farm Glamping
We needed a sweet getaway from the daily grind. It was exactly what we needed, cathartic, relaxing, peaceful. Fireflies, evening camp fires, mountain misty mornings, starry nights, nature sounds. The barn was gorgeous, and kitchen stocked with all we needed to make evening meals. Clean bathrooms. We loved the design of and views from our private cabin. Close to charming little hot springs town, kind folks. Thank you for a perfect stay 🌱

The 2 mile hike up to Lisa's cabin was worth every step. It's so peaceful there.
