Default Bike camping

Anyone got any suggestions on where a guy could camp at and fish that would be reasonable to get to on a bike here in AZ? I need to get outta town and relax and would like to load the bike up and find a nice spot to fish and camp out at but I've gotta be able to get there on the scooter. Any ideas?

Bartlett Lake. Lake Unpleasant. They have campgrounds and are bike accessable.
Also Roosevelt has many little coves you could get to easily and camp. Don't know how the fishing will be with all the water from the rains.

+1 for roosevelt, all the lakes are pretty full and the water is murky at bartlett probably pleasant also. plus at roosevelt you have many choices to grab a cold one if you get bored!

If you choose Bartlett Lake, be careful not to camp in Rattlesnake Cove! Trust me.

Check out Lynx Lake in Prescott. Easy access. nice campground and walk to fishin and general store (in case you run out of smokes or drinks). We ride right past it when we come the back way up from Yarnell.
