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.

The cleanest campground I've ever been to. Enough cell service to receive/send texts. Very quiet. Only problem I had was trying to find a level spot on my tent only site. There were large rocks all over the flattest spot and the the grass area didn't seem to be maintained at all so a lot of debris. I have from small holes in my tent footprint. Definitely recommend a heavy duty tarp if you are tent camping in loop D.

There didn’t seem to be any host or greeter. It would have been helpful if the map showed which areas were showers, flush toilets, or vault toilets. The map had the same symbol for all three and the locations didn’t have all three.

Campground upkeep was very good. Beautiful Campground. But unlike almost every other state campground it needs a dump station. Anybody wishing to stay longer than what their camper can hold has no way to dump and nowhere close to go within 25 MI

Nice, well kept campground. Of coarse some OHV traffic, but that is to be expected. Host were very friendly and working hard to keep things clean. A few kind of interesting looking "campers", who appeared to be living in their cars vs. really camping. They seemed harmless enough though. Only real complaint is the lack of enforcement of dogs being leashed. We travel with two well behaved dogs that are always leashed or tethered and while walking them we were attacked by an unrestrained GSD. There were also numerous other dogs that were not restrained.
