Campground is kept clean the attendants are very friendly and helpful, and were out working around the campground all the time keeping it nice. Be prepared for the atvs because that is what most people come here for, but they didn’t run all night and it was not bad. If you want to run the ATV trails this is the place to stay. Definitely plan to stay here again.

Cobb Ridge is one of my favorite NFS campgrounds, unfortunately Rec.gov is needlessly cumbersome to use.

Check in/out time needs to be fixed on the app. We got there around 2 per the check in time, only to have the previous campers stay until 330 and we’re told not much could be done because check in was at 4????!

The app says check in and check out is at 2. We arrived only to find campers still there. We were told that check in is supposed to be at 4?? The campers that were still there were pretty rude and didn’t leave until around 330.
Need to change the app to say an accurate check in time, and enforce the check out time.
