Campsite AtlasRiverside Campground (Az)
Riverside Campground offers more peace and tranquility than the busier recreation sites at Bartlett Lake. With the campground’s proximity to water, fisherman and avid water recreationalists enjoy this spot all year long. There are designated grills, fire rings and picnic tables where families can enjoy the day together along the river, not far from the dam. Keep a look out for fish jumping along the river! . This location is available on a first-come, first-served basis only. Visitors are required to physically arrive at the campground to purchase and claim a site.
