The campsite was good. The trails were ok the big issue was the bathrooms, they were unsanitary. They were not cleaned the 4 days we were there . no toilet paper , the stools were left with feces on then. With Covid, the bathrooms and showers should have been cleaned daily. The women’s bath was so bad by the end of the weekend you could only use one out of the 3 toilets, the other 2 were out of paper, brown water on the floor around the toilet and one had poop all over it.
If this is the norm for Cobb Ridge, it’s a shame. The camping could be really good except for the bathrooms and showers.

My campsite was very comfortable and easy to find. Bathrooms were clean. Minimal cell phone reception with T-Mobile, but enough for me to make some phone calls and send a couple texts. I would very much recommend it.

Grounds are kept clean and the facilities are well maintained. We camp there every year and always enjoy the time there.

My friends and I from KC, MO didn't come down near as much this year as there is now too much first come first served. It's not worth the drive to wonder if you'll get there in time and hard to manage. I understand the FCFS is for the locals but they can reserve a spot just like everyone else does anytime they want.
