Cooks Camp OHV Staging serves as a second way into the McCubbins Gulch OHV riding area in the Barlow Ranger District, giving riders a place to unload and get ready. The riding area holds roughly 72 miles of single track for Class 3 machines, and around 50 of those miles also take Class 1 vehicles, or quads.

The lot fits 16 trailer rigs or 30 vehicles without trailers. There are no restrooms or drinking water at the site, so load up on water and supplies before you head out for a day of trail riding.
