Bobcat-Houlihan Campground

Could Bobcat-Houlihan Campground be your perfect gateway to Wyoming’s rugged backcountry? Situated at the trailhead of the Bobcat-Houlihan Trail near Cody, this campground combines essential amenities with a prime location for outdoor enthusiasts.

The modestly equipped sites include picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, and food storage boxes, but bring your own drinking water as it isn’t provided on-site. The open, flat landscape offers quiet surroundings with sparse vegetation, making it ideal for star-gazing or enjoying unobstructed mountain views.

Perfect for day trips or extended stays, this campground caters to those seeking tranquility and proximity to Wyoming’s natural splendor.
