Winter stargazers and birders who want the Milky Way overhead and crested caracaras at dawn. The screened-porch cabins have a ceiling fan and one outlet, and the concession at the ferry dock covers ice and firewood so you don't have to haul everything in.
No showers, no potable water at sites, no cell service, and a rough dirt access road eliminate most casual campers. Summer adds brutal heat, scarce shade, and serious mosquitoes. Pets aren't allowed, and the nearest real town is an hour away.

Mittry Lake Wildlife Area lies in and adjacent to the floodplain of the Colorado River between <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=297">Laguna</a> and <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=150">Imperial Dams</a>. Mittry Lake covers approximately 750 acres, with much of the shoreline covered with cattails and bullrush. Mittry Lake has recently undergone rehabilitation work including marsh dredging, revegetation and fish habitat improvement, making it an ideal location for small game hunting and sportfishing. Major species for small game hunting include waterfowl, doves, quail, rabbit and raccoon. Major species of fish in the lake include largemouth bass, channel catfish, flathead catfish, crappie, and bluegill. There are no camping facilities and the area is for day use only. However there is a 3-lane boat launch ramp for motorized boating on the lake. The area is also very popular for nature study and birdwatching. <A HREF="http://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/prog/recreation/watchable/mittry.html"> More information. </a>

Winter delivers the most comfortable camping. January and February bring daytime highs in the mid-60s to low-70s and nights in the 40s to low-50s (occasionally dipping to the low 40s). Humidity drops, mosquitoes nearly disappear, and the sky stays clear for stargazing. Trails and primitive sites are pleasant for long walks. Crowds remain light except holiday weekends. Summer is brutal. Intense heat, little shade, and swarms of mosquitoes make camping miserable. Fire bans are common. October is viable for weather but still buggy. Check park alerts for prescribed burns, which can close trails and fill the air with smoke. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water year-round since shade is scarce.
Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.
