What Guests Are Saying
Cobb Ridge offers a beautiful setting with friendly and helpful camp hosts who keep the campground clean and well-maintained. The trails provide a range of challenges for outdoor enthusiasts, and the spacious sites are easy to navigate. However, some campers noted a lack of maintenance and the absence of a dump station, as well as concerns about noise from ATV and dirt bike activities.

Welcomed by camp hosts, the camp ground and showers have never looked so good or been kept stocked and cleaned. I have been coming to Cobb ridge for only a couple years, but the current camp hosts are the best Cobb ridge has had since I have been going there. I have found out that they are going to have to leave so the camp host before them can return. When this happens the conditions of Cobb ridge will return back to what they were before. I'm just one person that comes at least a dozen plus times yearly, and will hate to see what has been accomplished by the new camp hosts, all go away.

Beautiful very well kept campground. The camp hosts set a welcome home atmosphere for everyone and take great care of the grounds.
There wasn't nearly as much ATV noise as we expected. Most of the guests respected camp courtesy and there seemed to be a lot of regulars.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

I have camped here over the years many times and ride this area of beautiful country weekly. This time I came back from riding to find the windshield of my truck broken and shattered. This is concerning considering I have never had any property damage while camping and always considered this a safe campground. The camp host was very supportive and did a great job assisting me. The campground is clean and sites are well spaced, no complaints, a beautiful area. Enjoy this unspoiled area and please be respectful of others.
