Bagley Flat Campground and Boat Dock
Bagley Flat is notable for its boat access only camping on Saguaro Lake. Camping is allowed at the 10 designated sites with grills and tables provided. This location is fun during the summer months because of the nice grove of mesquite trees that provide and abundance of shade. Bagley Flat also has a courtesy dock for easy fishing.
