Awesome location, just be prepared for mountain nighttime
Great campsite in the mountains with a short hike to a awesome vista. Highly recommended! The campsite is a little close to the highway so there is some road noise but we were on our motorcycles so it worked for us!
Cold Springs is an excellent campground - very clean & beautiful, as well as central to a lot of great places. It is near a fairly busy road, but the convenience of access outweighs a little noise. We stayed in site #5 (with 3 backpacking tents) & found our stay of a few days to be very enjoyable.
This is a well set up campground. Vaulted toilets are clean maintained. The sites are a good space apart. I would not use an extra large tent in some of the sites. Our cabin tent didn't fit the tent pad. Most sites have steps up to or down to the actual site. There is a day use area with picnic tables and grills. You can visit some nice views. You will hear the road from a few of the sites. It's not enough to be disturbing though. Definitely not like the highway noise you would hear from a KOA or the likes. The host were polite and on multiple occasions i saw them deliver firewood to campers. They also stopped and picked up trash that others had carelessly left about when leaving their campsites.
