Sadly, the lake itself has dried up for a long time now due to drought. But during sunrise and sunset, golden light casts beautiful rays on the ground and creates a stunning image to remember; especially with the silhouette of Mt. Arapiles in the background.

As one of the top camping spots in the region, visitors can bring camper trailers and tents – though all areas don’t have any power.

Campfires are allowed but bring drinking water and collect all your trash before going. Bring along your dog with you if you wish; just make sure that they are on a leash at all times.

There are towns not too far from Mitre Lake, which is good to know if you need to get some last-minute supplies.
