Site was clean and prepared at arrival. Lots of firewood was available. Camp host was pleasant and available. Water, restrooms and showers all worked and good.

I had the perfect stay at Cobb Ridge! I ended up having a whole loop of campsites to myself, which was great for privacy and truly getting away from everything. In the distance I could see RV’s and other tent campers, so I still felt a sense of safety. The campsite I stayed at was clean and had a beautiful view of Mark Twain National Forest. There was also some firewood left from previous campers, which was a nice bonus. If you don’t chance upon some leftover split logs, there is plenty of dead wood to use all around you. The noise was much better than I expected, considering it’s connected to ATV trails, and my campsite was at one of the trailheads. And—most importantly— the vault toilets were neat and well lit at night. I highly recommend this campground!

A very nice campground. We camp there often. We would like to have a dump station like most other campgrounds. Also, the bathrooms and showers could use some sprucing up. Overall, a good place to camp.

We were there for our annual fall dirt bike ride. Campground was in good shape, the weather was the only downer. Rain came in Saturday around noon and never stopped. That's just the way the cookie crumbles I suppose.

Great campground if you are into late night parties, alcohol, and dirt bikes ripping through the campground well past 2:30 AM. Unfortunately, my family, especially my two year old were not huge fans.
The campground itself is beautiful and clean, but evidently no “quiet time” is enforced and I wouldn’t necessarily consider this campground to be family friendly. The bathrooms weren’t the worst I’ve seen but certainly not the best.
We loved the area but unfortunately will not likely be returning due to lack of staff and non-family friendly conditions.

Very relaxing and bonding time with my family. I had limited phone service which is always welcoming on a trip.

Very pleasant campground in a forested area. Very quiet just after the July 4th weekend. A few dirt bikes and ATVs using the trails all around but not overly noisy.
Campground hosts were very friendly and helpful with any issues. Cindy went above and beyond.
Biggest downside was no dump station which I don’t understand for a campground this large. Showers also need some rehabilitation.
