My stay was short (one night) but I have only good things to say. The grounds were very nice, and the facilities were very clean. It's close to ATV trails, scenic areas, and not far from Jeep-accessible forest roads. I was there on a Thursday night, so not a really busy time, but I found it to be very quiet at night.

This is the second stay when the volts at the pedestal was too low on the 50 amp outlet. It was 117 volts on each leg and caused my surge protector to shut off power constantly. This has happened on 2 different sites.

My family and I stay one night at Cobb Ridge. The electric camp sights were easy to park and get set up, the picnic and fire pit area was great, and the trails were a blast! You cannot beat the price either!

We LOVED Cobb Ridge! We are tent campers and do not ride ATV’s or bikes but still enjoyed this campsite. Excellent amenities, clean sites that are public but still private. We were a little worried about noise from recreational vehicles but we were not bothered by this at all. Other campers were very mindful of noise. The host was very friendly and inviting. We will return!

The camp ground was great but the trails were terrible , no maintenance has been done in years, looks like. What are we paying permits for in the park service isn't going to maintain the trails? That's the whole reason for going to cobb ridge and the Chadwick ATV/MC park.
