A Full Weekend of Music, Community, and High Frequency Adventure
Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country Presents Camp Cosmic at The Caverns
After a triumphant inaugural year, Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country's Camp Cosmic returns to The Caverns in Grundy County, TN.
For 2025, the camping event is expanding to two nights—Friday, April 11 & Saturday, April 12—with four Daniel Donato cave sets, camping, yurt glamping, food trucks, craft vendors, and jam sessions! This is a Camp Cosmic weekend you won’t want to miss!
Mountain Grass Unit will open both nights inside the cave. Once the cave show ends, the festivities will continue in the campground with acoustic performances by Water Tower featuring Willow Osborne each night.
Be sure to bring your instruments—this Cosmic Campground Circle of music will also feature an open jam! We can’t wait to pick and sing the night away with you in the beautiful Tennessee countryside.
"Come get weird in a cave with us" ~Daniel Donato
