About
Overview
Bobcat Meadow Campground is located within the Corral Canyon OHV Area and provides a quiet camping opportunity convenient to several connecting trails. Campsites are nestled amidst Live Oak groves with views of chaparral and desert for miles with cooler temperatures and wide-spanning views as would be expected at its higher elevation. Trails can be accessed just outside the campground, which connect to all the trails in the greater OHV Area.
Bobcat Meadow Campground has 18 campsites with picnic tables and 2 vault toilets.
