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.

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.

This was one of the best campgrounds I’ve seen in this area. When I booked I picked the only 2 campsites that were together and it was absolutely perfect for our group! We had a little fenced in area so my son could play in our yard and be safe from cars and other people. Everything was clean, no loud neighbors or rudeness from anyone. We will definitely be back!

Facilities were clean, the showers worked and hot water at the main facility. Also the water pipe on loop C was repaired from last year.

Very nice campground. Of course there’s gonna be atv and dirt bike noise but that’s to be expected. Can’t wait to go back!
