Overall the park was beautiful and clean. Set up nicely. Easy to get parked and into. Bathrooms n showers easily located. Host kept the grounds picked up after campers left. I didn’t know it was an atv park but that wasn’t an issue. My son just loved seeing everyone with their toys driving by.

Cobb Ridge is truly our most favorite spot for camping. Wonderful campsites that aren't on top of each other, they have lots of room for kids and dogs to play. The ATV riding is the best. We have been going every year Thanksgiving week for 15 years. The last couple of years, the camp host has even been making sure the bathroom are a lot cleaner also!!
