## Overview

Cobb Ridge Campground is adjacent to the Chadwick Riding area, which is
popular among and off-road vehicles (dirt bikes; ATVs and side by sides 50
inches or less) enthusiasts. Numerous trails provide nearly 80 miles of
interconnecting loops that vary from easy to difficult terrain, winding in and
out of deep, forested hollows and down long ridge tops. Family and group
camping is available, providing access to Missouri's beautiful Mark Twain
National Forest.

## Recreation

Visitors to the area mostly come for the plentiful off-road vehicle trails
(motorcycle; ATVs and side by sides 50 inches or less). Some trail segments
are very rocky, steep, rough, rutted and are technically challenging, while
others that don't drain well have been built up with concrete. Hiking on the
trails is also permissible but requires caution. If using the trails, you will
need a Chadwick riding permit - they are available at our District office;
Casey's General Store in Sparta, MO. Cost is $60 for an annual; $10/day for
motorcycles, ATVs and side by sides. $3 for mountain bike. You will need
make/model and VIN# of vehicle along with rider information. The permit is
valid for the machine and cannot be transferred.

## Facilities

The Cobb Ridge Campground provides a variety of campsite sizes, styles,
development and locations. Single, double and triple camp units are designed
to accommodate groups of various sizes. Campsites include traditional back-in
units and easily maneuvered pull-through units; some with electrical hookups
and others with only basic facilities. Tent camping is also an option. At each
electric site, there are 30 and 50 amp service along with a 110 outlet.  
  
Most sites are fairly private, but some are close together and open enough to
promote visiting between other camps. Additional sites are available on a
first-come, first-served basis. When available, an on-site host is at the
campground.  
  
The sites are equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Flush
toilets, vault toilets, and showers are provided. Hydrants are located
throughout campground for all campers to use - no individual water hookups
available. Trash collection facilities are provided.  

## Natural Features

The Chadwick area is mostly forested with oak, hickory and pine woods on rocky
ridge tops, with a few small open forest glades. Steep ridges break into
narrow hollows with scattered surface rock and occasional rock ledges and
patches of eastern red cedar.

## Nearby Attractions

The campground is 30 miles from Springfield, Branson, Silver Dollar City and
Shepherd of the Hills attractions. Lake Taneycomo is 20 miles south of Cobb
Ridge.
