Bartlett Flat

My first time here was over Veteran’s Day weekend and we woke up to F15s flying low overhead for Veteran’s Day. Campsites are disbursed and pleasantly of area to set up your site. Ground is flat and somewhat sandy like a beach. Other campsites seemed quite respectful and aware we are all sharing the same experience. sides were relatively clean, however, people do venture off into the Forrest area to use the restroom. That is my only concern is people do not pack out their toilet paper or their human feces. Please keep this area beautiful the way it naturally is and pack out your waste which is toxic to wildlife.

With all this rain and snow melt Bartlett flats is under water

Really nice area for any type of camping any time of the year. There are toilets at the entrance to the flats, with trash dumps but it would be a hike the farther away you camp from it so bring your own or rough it and recover it! Ground is mostly level on desert sand and you can launch a dinghy, jet ski, canoe, or kayak from the shoreline; wouldn’t trust anything larger than that but there’s a ramp in driving distance south of the campsite. Went there Indigenous Peoples day and found plenty of semi-private spaces to settle into. Recommend this for groups, solo, fishing, swimming, and families.

Did a quick overnight trip. Easy to access in any vehicle. If you want to be more secluded keep following the shore line NW, however the more you travel the more ground clearance you’ll need so bring a vehicle with a little off road abilities of you want to be away from the trailers and RVS. Tons of pre made stone fire pits all over to adopt as your own. Bathrooms and trash drop off at the entrance. Overall great scenic spot. Hate seeing trash anywhere, unfortunately there was some left from previous campers (slobs). Tonto pass needed.

Not busy this time of year. The weather is a little bit cool for swimming, but it’s a nice place to hang out by the campfire. Great place to get a little bit off road but not really get too off road….

Nice quiet cove area out in the flatts, great for swiming and fishing. Camped here a few times the bugs aren't to bad and bring a toilet or hike in the bushes, it's usually quiet on this end and the rv and 5th wheels don't make it out this far so nice to have bbq and let the kids swim

Little further back from where the rv congregat, so it's quiet and peaceful, boat traffic isn't to bad and the shore line is great for kids to swim

Very peaceful and relatively clean. My children had a blast. Close enough for just a quick weekend away.

Nice area kids loved the water and my buddy caught some fish, pretty quiet until pride rave kick off and then drunk pontoon guy kept the entertained with his remarks over his PA system. Overall good times bring a Potty and privacy tent the bushes are littered with sh!t tickets.

Probably one of our favorite dispersed spots to date. Roads are nice and had no problem pulling our 22’ trailer in. Spots are right on the water, but can get a little busy so would recommend coming early. Can still find places further down if you can’t. Great Lake for fishing, but not a ton of hiking around.

We love camping here, its so close to home and it's dispersed! We usually camp right on the water. It can get really packed but we have never had bad neighbors. Seems to be kept pretty clean and there are restrooms.

This was the first time we had been there and it was a great csmpsite. We were able to camp right by the water, and there was plenty of room. It was great having a camping place so close to our house, and we will definitely be back.

This lake is easy to get to from town (phoenix). It can crowd up quickly. The only thing that irked me about our stay here is that as we were setting up our tent, and working on getting our spot staked for fishing a group of men came in and took the spot after we all discussed where each group intended to go. There was also a group of nighttime kayakers that talked so loudly on the lake that you could hear them from one end of the lake to the other while everyone was trying to peacefully enjoy some night fishing.

If your big into swimming/floating / boating & kayaks and jet skis this the the place to camp.. Back right up to the lake , pitch a tent and your set up for fun..
