What Guests Are Saying
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 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.
