Cattail Cove State Park Campground

Beautiful! Next to Colorado River. Clean, hot showers, friendly staff, paved sites for rvs, dog run with river access, shade trees.

This is a great place to get away. You’ll camp right next to lake havasu that looks like a beach shore. This campsite has bathrooms, showers, free life vests, canoe rentals, volleyball court. Great place to take the family.

This place is awesome, good camp sites, great camp hosts. Nice beach area, hiking trails, volly ball court launch ramp... Fishing..

Super nice, boat launch and several beaches right there. 

Lots of trees for shading your rig. 

The sites do have some shoulder room for neighbor privacy. 

Two shower areas. 

Lots, of great hiking trails. 

Rangers and volunteers were great.

This park is maintained VERY well and is super clean! You do have to contend with some boaters coming and going, but it’s not bad at all. Beach and swimming area are clean.

Good location and nice beach. However the site was more of an RV site, and not much privacy. All sites are $30 which is a bit expensive in my opinion Nice clean restrooms with showers though!

Great views and camping

Got to this campground because lake havasu was full. It’s about 20 minutes from Lake Havasu city and I liked how it’s not so crowded compared to there. There’s a nice beach area and bathrooms/showers were clean!

After driving through Havasu City this was a welcome oasis from the traffic and strip malls. The campground is on a slope so bring your leveling skills. The trees here are well established & provide lots of natural shade. There are even citrus trees with fruit that is almost ready to pick. Restrooms/showers are clean. Campsites are raked after every camper vacates. Our campsite was on the inside of the loop so we had neighbors behind us and on both sides.

This is a great location for kayaking. We put in from the boat launch and paddled up the shoreline and across to California. You are also within 15 to 20 minutes of Bill Williams Wildlife Refuge for kayaking and River Island SP & Buckskin Mountain SP for hiking.

Only two things bothered me during our 2 week stay and that was the dogs barking and the exterior lights left on the RVs all night. Seems like a dark sky policy would solve that problem.

Just another beautiful AZ state park. We will definitely return.

Nice campground off the Colorado river. Had fun fishing and exploring the Lake Havasu area.

Loved the filtered water for filling our water containers, easily accessible dumps, dog beach, cleanliness and quietness of the campsite. Quietness of the campsite is really important for us as our dogs our sensitive to noise and bark whenever they hear something. Only downfall was the campsite was too small for my liking.

Sites are really close to each other and we went when it was too hot! Our fault so definitely wouldn’t recommend in a tent. It was still in the 90’s at night and a storm came through so that helped provide some relief. Bathrooms and showers feel like a sauna but still feels good to clean up even if the water doesn’t really get cold in the summer. Gravel spots but nice views of the lake and surrounding area!

We have camped at Cattail Cove just South of Havasu City in Arizona a couple of times.  We love the white sandy beach and clear water.  Campsites and bathrooms are clean.  We rented the sites near the beach and enjoyed walking the beach under the stars and going kayaking during the day.

We stayed just one night at this very nice lakeside campground. Temps were triple digits, so the lake was a great way to cool off. Sites had water and electric. They were fairly close together, but had a picnic table a small tree, and ours was a pull-through. The camp store had ice and very friendly and courteous staff.

This is another Arizona state park on Lake Havasu. About 20 miles south of Havasu City. Electric & water, dump site. Cellular is not as good here as Lake Havasu State Park, and I am an AT&T user, 2 bars.... The trees in this park are specimens, and are labeled on a ground stake. They were interesting. The beach area is sand & there are water devices to rent if your into that. I found this park more noisy than some other parks in the area. There is a boat ramp, so there are people launching boats all day.

We woke up to birds that sounded like nothing I’ve ever heard. Pretty sure the one we called the alarm bird was a myna or some other starling because it sounded exactly like someone’s alarm clock followed by a chirp!

Easy access to the lake, a few miles of trails, very clean bath houses. But the sites back right up to each other so no way to avoid hearing your neighbors noises. STS.

To avoid this, recommend site 53 or 52. They look ideal.

The Cattail Cove Campgrounds are perfect for a beginners camp site. The campsites are flat and easy to back in your car and set up your tent. The table on site is big enough to sit 6 people. There is water on site and a fire ring. The staff was very helpful and the gift shop has ice, firewood, ice cream bars, and small essentials for sale. The reason for the 4, is due to the dog beach being a small rocky area and the water wasn’t as clean.

Lake side with power water and dump station. Nice beach large sites. Lake side trails for hiking

I love this park because it is small and less crowded than most.  If you have a boat there is plenty of room for you to ski or whatever you want without being in the main part of the lake.  The spots have enough space, some do not have trees, most are big enough to support a nice sized rig.  The only downside is if you have a dog, they are only allowed on a small part of the beach right by the boat launch.  They are not allowed at the regular beach even on a leash.  They keep the park and the restrooms up and do patrol quite a bit.

Beautiful state park! Beach. Birds. Owls. Shade trees. Very quiet and serene! Five 🌟

Lake Havasu is beautiful. This campground has amazing hiking trails that take you around the park and give spectacular views of the lake. The beach is nice, the sites are large. We will be back!

Great way to afford enjoying Lake Havasu. Note this is an Arizona State Park so daily vehicle rates do apply if just visiting and/or camping. Located on the east side of Lake Havasu side in Arizona state border. California to the west separated by the Colorado River/Lake Havasu. Lake Havasu City is 19 miles away and the Parker strip is 8 miles away (Lake Havasu separated by the Parker Dam). Remember you're camping in a hot, dry desert climate and limited shade as only palm trees and small shrubs. Campground has showers and restrooms as well as RV dump station. If you're looking for a place to enjoy Lake Havasu, lounging in the water or boating, highly recommend Cattail Cove State Park. A little more remote than right in the city.

This place is great for water ports but would not come here in the summer because of the heat. I did get sunburn so please bring sunblock. I did go on a night hike which was kind of scary but great. There is a lot of switch back trails. The sunset here was unbelievable and would stay here for more than a few days if possible.
