The beach, boat ramp, and 61 campsites at Cattail Cove State Park offer a broad spectrum of activities for all to enjoy. There are also boat-in campsites along the lake shoreline within the park. Whether you're interested in swimming, fishing or just lounging and relaxing, Cattail Cove State Park offers you and your family a chance to get away and enjoy tranquility along Lake Havasu. The 2,000-acre park has been operated by the Arizona State Parks Board since 1970. Lake Havasu was formed when the Colorado River was dammed near Parker. The 45-mile long lake creates a haven for all kinds of water sports. Fish for largemouth and striped bass, channel and flathead catfish, bluegill and crappie. Boat on the blue waters, sail into quiet coves, or water ski or jet ski out on the open lake.
Beach, boat ramp and campsites, what more do you need to enjoy the Colorado River? And if you have your own boat, there are 32 campsites along the water's edge.
Our 30-amp site with electric and water was $30/night.
The campground is clean, and quiet at night, which we REALLY enjoyed after 3 nights of camping elsewhere next to a highway. And also included is a night sky full of stars for no extra charge!
There are several hiking trails. I hiked the Whytes Retreat Trail, which is an easy 1.5 mile (3-mile round trip) hike that starts in the park near the beach and follows the shoreline to end in one of the boating campsites.
The campground has a beautiful white sand beach. And there is a dedicated pet walking area, and a dog beach on the other side of the boat dock from the people-only beach.
There are clean restrooms with showers, and a dump station for your RV. The ranger at the station was friendly. There is a small store at the ranger station where we bought some ice.
5 stars, definitely.
