Bartlett Flat is a dispersed camping area on Bartlett Lake's shoreline offering sandy, level sites suitable for both tent and RV camping with direct water access for kayaking, canoeing, and small motorized boats.

Basic amenities include vault toilets and trash disposal at the entrance, though potable water is not available; a daily Tonto National Forest pass ($8-12) is required, with an additional $4 fee for motorized watercraft.

The area fills quickly on weekends, especially popular spots closer to the water, so arriving early is recommended for better site selection.
