Arizona Game and Fish Department officials say the incident happened Sunday evening at the Shannon Campground area on Mount Graham, near Safford.
A 4-year-old girl and four other people were reportedly bitten by the bobcat. They were taken to hospitals for treatment and have since been released.
Officials say the bobcat has not been captured, and is "at large" and "being sought."
Officials are also asking the public to avoid the Shannon and Snow Flat campgrounds.
