The new camp hosts have the place better than it has ever been. They have set the standard that none of the other camp hosts c.ould even come close to. It will be sad to see them go.

My stay was short (one night) but I have only good things to say. The grounds were very nice, and the facilities were very clean. It's close to ATV trails, scenic areas, and not far from Jeep-accessible forest roads. I was there on a Thursday night, so not a really busy time, but I found it to be very quiet at night.

This is the second stay when the volts at the pedestal was too low on the 50 amp outlet. It was 117 volts on each leg and caused my surge protector to shut off power constantly. This has happened on 2 different sites.

My family and I stay one night at Cobb Ridge. The electric camp sights were easy to park and get set up, the picnic and fire pit area was great, and the trails were a blast! You cannot beat the price either!
