I enjoyed camping at Howler Bike Park. Jennifer is one of best hosts ever. The coffee is great and food is outstanding. I recommend the chilli burger. There is a little road noise from the highway, but the traffic is pretty sparce at night. I will be staying here again.

The staff at Howler Bike Park is top tier. I was only using one of the parking lot spots but they were super welcoming and accommodating of any needs. Unfortunately the parking lot is a bit of a walk into the park but no big deal at all.

Whether you are glamping or tent camping Howler has what you need. Us and many of our close friends stay at Howler frequently. It's hard to beat the array of accommodations, including the shower house and various other amenities, not to mention the unparalleled hospitality at this price. It's also some of the best shuttle service downhill riding in the Midwest and one of our favorite places to spend time with our mountain biking family and friends! Highly recommend! Howler gets all of the stars!

I was able to get a great nights sleep in my camper in the parking lot for the three days I was at Howler. My camper is 22 ft and I would not suggest that anything larger be attempted.

Jen and John were great !. Communication was seamless and the house coffe was fantastic. This is a mountain bike park that had a full service shop, coffee station, and really good breakfast and lunch food from their food truck.

This bike park is totally awesome! Very welcoming from day 1. Easy to navigate from parking lot to main base camp where everything is at. Only recommendation would be if you camp in parking lot, bring earplugs. The traffic from the highway is super loud. Once I put those in I had a great sleep camoing in my truck and felt safe. I met a few other riders also camping in parking lot and it was cool to do a few shuttles with them the next day. A big thank you to Jennifer—-you are awesome. You helped me navigate the park areas and were so welcoming from day 1. Also big kudos to Zion the trail crew shuttle driver! Very kind friendly and truly appreciated us riders being out there. Also major kudos to all the staff that put the fireworks show on, it was rad and totally wild experience:) thank you friends

Very fun place to camp with kids. Owners were great, making sure we had what we needed and giving us tips about things on the hike. Our kids loved the giant fire pit and exploring the stream.

Lot parking is just that, a parking lot; but then Jen makes you an incredible complimentary coffee drink! John and Jen really have something incredible going on at Howler, and are so of the best hosts I’ve ever had!

We loved staying at Claire and Myke’s hipcamp. There was wood for a fire, cool trails on their property that led to a stream, and good energy all around! The road to the property was pretty rough so be prepared for that (: I definitely recommend though!

Loved camping at Howler and am definitely planning to visit again! All in all, it was a great value and fit my needs well. Bathrooms were clean and tidy and the parking lot spot I was allowed to choose worked well for me. Unfortunately I was camping on a day when the Grill was closed but the entire Base Camp area looked super cool and like a fun place to hang out and socialize.
A couple quick notes for anyone else camping in the parking lot:
- They left the parking lot lights on for me which was very appreciated while I was setting up and cooking myself some dinner, plus it helped me in feeling a bit more secure as a solo camper. However, it was a bit bright when I was sleeping. Black out window covers or a face mask might be a good idea if you are sensitive to light when sleeping.
- Road noise from the interstate was pretty apparent through the night, especially with engine braking from big trucks going down the hill on either side of the valley. Might be worth it to bring ear plugs or run a white noise machine if noises bother you.
I’ll be looking forward to my next visit and definitely plan to bring my bike with me!

Respect to Howler Bike park for refunding me camping spot without even me asking for a refund! I came down with the Norovirus and had to cancel my plans for next time. Looking forward to a trip there soon!
