It was fun, meet other people from out home state that we ride with and Alaska, 🍁 and locals. It's definitely a different terrain than back home in MN!

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.
