Originally we booked a non-electric site, but had generator issues. We changed campsites with no problems. The accommodations were great.

We had a wonderful weekend at Cobb Ridge Campground. The sites are very clean and spacious. Very impressed with the bathrooms, they were kept in great shape. And even thought we were not there to ride motorcycles, we were able to hike and just enjoy sitting around the fire. Will definitely go back!

Camping was good this time. Did not have the forestry head over the campground harassing us like he does every time. That was great!! We had a person camped next to us with mental health issues and the sheriff had to be called. The camp host was very helpful with that. The last couple of times we have been there, there are homeless people there.

I really like this campground. It's very well maintained, has flushing toilets and water access. The trails around I haven't ridden on, but I know there are a bunch.
