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.

Staff was very friendly. Nice park. Bath house did seem to have ventilation problem

Very pleasant campground in a forested area. Very quiet just after the July 4th weekend. A few dirt bikes and ATVs using the trails all around but not overly noisy.
Campground hosts were very friendly and helpful with any issues. Cindy went above and beyond.
Biggest downside was no dump station which I don’t understand for a campground this large. Showers also need some rehabilitation.

Campground hosts were exceptional. The shower house and bathrooms are kept clean. Hats off to them for maintaining the campground also is free of trash. Than you Hugh and Cindy.

We were here only one night on our way through the area. Loop C had lovely, spacious pull-through sites. Facilities were clean. Showers had hot water with good pressure. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
