Summary
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 site we stayed in was right next to a bunch of homeless methheads. It seems to be a growing problem down there.

Bathroom aren’t clean or flushing toilets. The campground was clean. Pretty quiet while we were there. No sewer or water at our site. Not bad if your just passing through the area and need to rest.
