GenieSummary

What others are saying
Mittry Lake is a great spot for RV camping and outdoor recreation in North of Yuma, AZ. It is a free camping area located on the lower Colorado River backed up by Martinez Dam and is heavily used by winter visitors (snowbirds). There are dumpsters and boat ramps, but no other amenities. The lake is great for fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, and more. There are lots of other dispersed spots on the way in and a big dispersed camping lot with parking spots. The road in is in great shape, packed gravel, and lots of the camp spots are dirt. The area can get quite crowded, but there are plenty of secluded spots to choose from. Mosquitos can be a problem, so it is best to camp on the raised portion just south of the lake. There are also a few trails around the area through rocky hills. Cell service is available with a booster and the sunsets are beautiful.

From The Campground

The Mittry Lake Wildlife Area includes about 600 acres of water surface and 2400 acres of marsh or upland. A wide variety of vegetative and wildlife species can be found here, with a scenic backdrop of three mountain ranges. Numerous serpentine waterways connect to main lake body and make exploring by boat a unique experience. This area is jointly managed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
