We had a wonderful weekend at Cobb Ridge Campground. The sites are very clean and spacious. Very impressed with the bathrooms, they were kept in great shape. And even thought we were not there to ride motorcycles, we were able to hike and just enjoy sitting around the fire. Will definitely go back!

Camping was good this time. Did not have the forestry head over the campground harassing us like he does every time. That was great!! We had a person camped next to us with mental health issues and the sheriff had to be called. The camp host was very helpful with that. The last couple of times we have been there, there are homeless people there.

I really like this campground. It's very well maintained, has flushing toilets and water access. The trails around I haven't ridden on, but I know there are a bunch.

Absolutely love this place to camp! I have a utv but hope this place never opens up to them so it can stay as kid friendly as it is now! Nothing but positive feedback from me!

Thank you to the campground host, co-host, and volunteers for keeping the campground clean and enjoyable for all. All facilities were clean. Local sheriffs made occasional security checks. Increased enforcement of speed limit and non camper use would enhance campers stay.

There's a great selection of campsites, some fully shaded or not, some right on the water or not. I really do like Cobb Ridge

Some one stole our site and we had to use a first come first serve site as they were not interested in moving and they said our site didn’t have the paper that it was reserved. I call BS as all the other reserved sites had the reserved paper out. Called the office for help and no response. I guess it is a free for all now at Chadwick! Especially if there are losers who steal sites!
