We had an overall positive experience. The WiFi wasnt the best. The Bathrooms need touchups on painting. Tree leaves where everywhere and werent addressed until our last day as we were leaving.

Shower house is extremely dilapidated. Their is only so much you can do as far as house keeping. Only 2 out of 5 showers were working with the park almost full of campers. Overall condition is nasty. I have been coming there since 1976 and have never seen it that bad. Trail conditions have greatly deteriorated and most are professional riders only ,definitely not family friendly any more. Downhill portions drop straight off and are completely washed out, they should have switchbacks and be rideable to children and adults alike. Hope this downturn is reversible nowhere to go but up.

The shower house is in need of repair. Two of the 4 showers are not open. The outhouses actually smelled better than the actual restrooms. The family play area for kids is really small and getting to where the tree roots are really rough in the area. It would be nice if there was a long easy trail for family rides.

Always a good time. (Very little to no AT&T cell service

@SteveL9386340 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #GP1

Always a great time at chadwick.

@DOUGLASW328135 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #18

Definitely time to remodel the main shower house. Really showing its age and is certainly a challenge to clean and sanitize. For the money you pay per night they can do better.

@ShawnH5107068 · Camped on May 15, 2024 at Campsite #38

beatiful camp ground, clean and well maintained

@CharlesR514161 · Camped on Apr 26, 2024 at Campsite #13

Beautiful campground, but comfort facilities leave something to be desired. This is a popular campground for ATV folks because there are trails specifically for that purpose. Noisy!

@RuthL6AE78C32B · Camped on Apr 18, 2024 at Campsite #7

The camp hosts do a good job.

@LaurenC8727476 · Camped on Apr 11, 2024 at Campsite #15

Very nice and clean facility, all camp sites were clearly marked and low split rail fences lined all boundaries to keep motorcycles and equipment on the paved roads and camp driveway. The place filled up with others there to ride the Chadwick Trail system, so many bikes and a few quads too. Camp host was helpful and very easy to work with when our reserved site was too small, we easily moved over to a first come first serve site that was much larger and wider to accommodate our 25ft trailer and second vehicle.

@KariK367266625 · Camped on Mar 29, 2024 at Campsite #36

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!

@PeyS90A0B49E42 · Camped on Mar 10, 2024 at Campsite #39

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 RVs 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 dont 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 its connected to ATV trails, and my campsite was at one of the trailheads. Andmost importantly the vault toilets were neat and well lit at night. I highly recommend this campground!

@scottb3088469 · Camped on Mar 10, 2024 at Campsite #21

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.

@MarkW2201412 · Camped on Nov 6, 2023 at Campsite #10

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.

@RandallP667683 · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #15

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.

@BennyAA1466D3A · Camped on Oct 6, 2023 at Campsite #40

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 wouldnt necessarily consider this campground to be family friendly. The bathrooms werent the worst Ive 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.

@MichaelO142645 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #18

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

@MichaelE481757 · Camped on Jul 13, 2023 at Campsite #7

Staff was very friendly. Nice park. Bath house did seem to have ventilation problem

@michaelg734741 · Camped on Jul 5, 2023 at Campsite #5

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.

@Kimberly0A7B9D · Camped on Jun 4, 2023 at Campsite #7

Campground hosts were exceptional. The shower house and bathrooms are kept clean. Hats off to them for maintaining the campground also is free of trash. Than you Hugh and Cindy.

@MarthaB6660633 · Camped on Apr 24, 2023 at Campsite #28

We were here only one night on our way through the area. Loop C had lovely, spacious pull-through sites. Facilities were clean. Showers had hot water with good pressure. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

@PaulM6940902 · Camped on Apr 20, 2023 at Campsite #39

This is mainly an OHV enthusiasts campground. I was there for one night and everything was fine. I had tent only site but it was clean and the showers were good and clean with hot water. Great campground all in all.

@DavidA3218244 · Camped on Apr 19, 2023 at Campsite #28

excellent riding experience. Great views

@JuliusM9727094 · Camped on Mar 30, 2023 at Campsite #20

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
