George P Cossar State Park

This is the view out our back camper window. Plenty of campsites available in mixed deciduous and pine forest. Very quiet and beautiful. Sites have (old) picnic tables, grills, and fire rings.

The website advertises a 3 mile hiking trail so I decided to stop by on my way to Memphis for a hike. Bad decision. Hard to find the trailhead to start. Once you get on the trail, it is your guess which way it goes. No blaze markers, tall grass, several dead trees crossing the path. I was only able to navigate the trail because it was identified on my phone GPS.. I may have been the first person to actually hike this trail in at least a year. If the state cannot afford to keep up the trail, they should remove it from their website.

Pretty, quaint state park with lake access. Doesn't seem to have a camp store with park rangers like big state parks have, but it does have frisbee disc golf and mini golf. Older playground, but the kids absolutely loved it! If it rains come prepared with a lot of bug spray because the gnats are terrible and will swarm all over your, camping equipment, RV, tent, and your things!! But the gnats won't stop us from coming back! Looking forward to our next visit!!! *There might be some circular weird looking "moss" creatures and those are safe to be around. They actually help to filter out the water. I posted a picture so don't be alarmed.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Oct 2023 full hook-ups $37.50 a night. Better rates for longer term rentals.. but this place fills up fast in the height of the season. Reservations recommended.. They take Reservations two years ahead! We took a chance in late October and got lucky! THERE ARE CABINS TOO. Lovely setting...plenty of trees..hard pads to park. Picnic tables. Fire pits and grills. The lake is INCREDIBLE..white deer wander around at dusk WE WILL BE BACK

Absolutely was surreal with these deer they are so friendly they almost come and ate out my hands .It was so peaceful and quiet and relaxing and Beautiful.. I must say this so far has been my favorite place to camp.. The hosts are friendly and my fellow campers were .Nice and friendly and respectful ly quiet ..The hosts don't come and bother you for every little thing it's a Family oriented camp ground I loved getting up Saturday morning and hearing the laughter with all the children excited to play .. That too was great you just know your kids are safe out here . They have Put Put Golf and several playgrounds. Bathhouses were very clean and easy accessable. The play grounds are all clean neat and safe . .. The deer thou, the pictures don't do justice on how amazing it was to see them under my blinking lights and how tame they are becoming. Definitely worth the money and definitely coming back and thankful to everyone who has made this such a Beautiful Peaceful Place to camp.. :+)
