We loved Cobb Ridge Campground! Since it is in a national forest, it is beautiful and woodsy. The sites are spread far apart. The roads and campsites are lined with nice split rail fencing. The sites are paved and level, and the fire pits are raised and very clean. There are lots of ATV trails which are good for hiking too, if you’re there when there aren’t a lot of ATVs. We were there when it was very quiet and empty, in August. We took our bikes on the trails but found out some of them are not suitable for bicycles. The only drawback is that the campground is so remote. It’s a very narrow, curvy road and a 45 minute drive from Branson. We made it fine, though, with and without our fifth wheel.

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.

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.

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.

The new camp hosts have the place better than it has ever been. They have set the standard that none of the other camp hosts c.ould even come close to. It will be sad to see them go.
