Welcome to Howler--the Midwest's Premier Mountain Bike Park! Hospitality means everything to us and we would be honored to have you as a guest on our downhill trails or a guest to the Ozark Mountains looking for a great place to stay--or both! We think we've got some surprises in store for you when you get here. You'll find us located just off Highway 65 in the beautiful Ozark Mountains. We're seven minutes from Branson, one of the busiest tourist destinations in the Midwest, but take the five-minute ride or walk down to Base Camp and you'll feel miles away from it all. Howler is imagined, designed, and maintained by riders who love our unique terrain and wanted to pull the best from it. Our trails are built with all skill levels in mind with a clear goal of rider progression. But Howler Bike Park Stays isn't just for riders! We've got all kinds of things to do for riders and non-riders alike! Start your day in Base Camp, the hub of activity at Howler. If you need a caffeine kick to get you started, we've got you covered with a specialty coffee drink, blended, or smoothie at Howler Coffee Shop! And, Chef Dustin is now serving breakfast with three delicious options to power you up for your day! Around noon and throughout the day, you can enjoy Chef's insanely-delicious food at the Growl Grill. Stop in the Welcome Center for bike passes, Howler merch, and bike gear. Are you shredding with us and need a new tube or tire change? We have got you taken care of in Howler Bike Co. next to the Welcome Center. We have beer and wine available at the Growl Grill, and you’re welcome to take your purchases to your tent to enjoy! New in Spring 2023, is our Skills Park and our Children's Play Area-complete with a mini pump track for Stryders or small bikes--and a beautiful cedar swing set! We also have a mile round trip Hiking Trail through the woods where you can see glimpses of riders shredding the mountain trails. Feel like a break at the top of the hike? We've got a picnic table so you can enjoy the scenery and eat some mouth-watering food from the Growl Grill! We also have our all-new bathrooms and showers, complete with shampoo/body wash and hair dryers. And you can keep all your necessary items near you while you ride with our all-new lockers. They're free and you only need to enter a four-digit code of your choosing to use them.

Parking Lot Spot 3

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!

Parking Lot Spot 6

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!

My new favorite spot

Howler Hideout Apartment

The apartment was amazing. Comfortable, quiet, warm, and cozy. The in-unit washing machines make preparing for day two+ a breeze. Luxurious soaps, appliances, and materials made it feel like a home. Jen and John were excellent hosts, I liked them so much I’d open my own doors to them. Such wonderful people!

Glamping Tent 4 (2 Full Beds)

Howler absolutely knocks it out of the park with their hospitality, the accommodations and everything related to their facility. The whole stay was very enjoyable. I definitely plan to stay in the glamping tents again in the future!

Primitive Camping Site 1

Camping at Howler Bike Park was amazing! Everything from booking to set up was a complete breeze, Howler staff was very easy to connect with before our trip, and they gave us great instructions to find camp without them since we were showing up after midnight. Site platforms were very well built and marked making finding and setting up in the dark a breeze. Having a perfectly level and solid platform may have made it sooo nice for tents. Bathrooms and showers are about a 3-5 minute walk, or 1 minute bike ride downhill, and were IMMACULATE. Nicest bathrooms I’ve ever seen while camping. Beyond camping, Howler Bike Park was more than any of us could have ever expected. The minute we walked into base camp we were greeted by friendly faces (staff and patrons, everyone is in a great mood there!!) and you could just tell the staff love and enjoy what they do. The trails were so well built and maintained, all 4 of us agreed it’s the most fun we’ve ever had and the hardest we’ve ever pushed our limits on bikes. TACO CAT IS AMAZING. Almost forgot, the food and coffee!! Coffee was great, way better than Starbucks or w.e. Had both the Fueled and Salty & Lit both amazing! Max is the best barista around! The food. Howler burger was so dank, perfect amount of heat, almost had me sweating in 50 degrees. And the Chili! Do yall sell that by the gallon? Ima need more ASAP. It’s only been a day and we’re already trying to figure out when we can get back. Howler is the place to go for biking
