It was nice. I stayed at spit #6. The camp host, Andrew, was helpful and vault toilets were clean.

Noisy. If you like the noise of ATVs and dirt bikes this is the place for you.

Alto Pit is a small, but great stay for boondocking. It is level, clean and very accessible. There are beautiful lakes that we visited last year while we stayed there for a few days. This year was just an overnight. I would recommend this camp.

I’ve stayed here twice now and both times I’ve been pleasantly impressed by how clean and comfortable this campsite is. The large fire pits and beautiful scenery were my favorite.

The trash dumpster was locked closed, so everyone was piling trash around it, and animals and wind was spreading it everywhere. Don't know where the camp host was (never saw them), or why they weren't tending to this issue. I spent a lot of time cleaning trash from our campsite. Much of the campground is next to a busy road, so lots of road noise. We were camped during the week, so not many campers, and not much in the way of motorcycles / OHV noise, so that was good.

This place is incredible! Tall trees and huge boulders. Stunning location. Close to the action but tucked away.
Campsite 2 had a couple sandy clearings that could easily fit both an RV and tent.
Toilets were not great, but we didn’t care. Bring exact change if you’re paying on site.

The campground owner died just before we arrived. The locals figured out that there was no one there to manage it and so between the scketchy homeless squaters roaming around and the midnight arrivals with giant trucks with loud pipes we barely got any sleep. We had to break down camp every time we left because we were affraid for our stuffs saftey with the homeless squaters
