Our spot was double booked so we had to break down and move twice, outside of that it was perfect. We were not the only ones who had this happen.

Arrived to site that I reserved and found someone else had tent on site no one around and no host to enforce reservations. Luckily there was a first come spot that we took. I notified the contact on the reservation site, was told nothing they could do. We have been visiting this location for years and this was the worst. On another hand riding was great. Hopefully they get control of the camp sites soon.

The campsite was good. The trails were ok the big issue was the bathrooms, they were unsanitary. They were not cleaned the 4 days we were there . no toilet paper , the stools were left with feces on then. With Covid, the bathrooms and showers should have been cleaned daily. The women’s bath was so bad by the end of the weekend you could only use one out of the 3 toilets, the other 2 were out of paper, brown water on the floor around the toilet and one had poop all over it.
If this is the norm for Cobb Ridge, it’s a shame. The camping could be really good except for the bathrooms and showers.

My campsite was very comfortable and easy to find. Bathrooms were clean. Minimal cell phone reception with T-Mobile, but enough for me to make some phone calls and send a couple texts. I would very much recommend it.
