Great riverside campsite. Hiked in about 3.3 miles, but OnX user beware, trust the trail’s red marks, not the trail marked on most maps! Part of the trail was reblazed to go around a washed out section.

Otherwise, the campsite itself was great. It’s right next to the river, and includes plenty of space, a fire pit with cooking grates, and a picnic bench. Tons of squirrels, osprey, an owl, and I’m sure more if you’re able to hike a little quieter than myself and my 7 and 9 year old boys.

Only problem we had is it was a little tough to find nice dry firewood. Most of the log sized potential firewood was pretty green, but there’s plenty of tinder and kindling to make up for it.

There’s a stop on the way near the other campsite that includes some picnic benches, a (non-potable) water pump, and a bathroom with a roof and toilet paper. What more could you want?

My family hiked about 2.4 mi in to this campsite and stayed one night. We liked that you have to hike in, there is no car access. It is about 30 feet through some trees to the river, so if you were clever, I’m sure you could find it from a boat, but for us there was zero competition for the single campsite. The downside of that is the occasional boats or jet ski that come flying past, but for us that only happened a small handful of times.

On to the campsite: overall a really great campsite. There’s a fire ring with a grill grate on it that we were able to easily cook our food over, there was a wood picnic table, and there was a taller wooden table, more like a bar or island. The spot we put up our tent was a great spot nestled between some trees that held guy lines beautifully (we had a huge 8 person tent: definitely don’t recommend hauling one of those in there). You can see the stars through the hardwoods, and on the hike in you can see deer, squirrels, and all kinds of different birds.

Other than the aforementioned fire ring and tables, there are no other amenities. You have water access from the river as long as you have a purification system, but you’re on your own for bathrooms, electricity, etc., what you can carry in is what you have.

Overall, met my intent as a basic campsite my family of 5 with kids from 3 to 9 years old could walk into and get the simple outdoor experience.

Depends on what you’re into. Great if you’re here as a hunt base camp maybe, but Cobb is not the idyllic peaceful personal campsite. I camped there with my boys in a tent, and they had a blast just playing in the dirt, but I had to figure out how to explain to them why someone had been there for the last 11 months and why we had to sleep through a running generator all night.

We hiked in a few miles on the Florida Trail, so we had all our water supplies on our person. There’s a little pond there that we were purifying water out of with no issue, but if you drive in and car camp you can easily bring water with you.

Not great for the backpacker, but probably pretty great if you’re driving in and hunting out of your tent or camper.
