Pretty lake with a nice swimming beach. Sites were nicely spaced. Quite a few mosquitoes when we were there in mid-July. Our site did not have any decent tent pads, (perhaps it was meant for an RV?) we heard that there was a tent loop under renovation. We were charged an additional fee for a second car even though it it on our site’s parking pad which made this campground rather expensive (a price I’d generally assume came with flush toilets and showers.) Picnic table and fire pit were awkwardly tall and in need of updating. No recycling amenities.

The camp host was great. This campground had the best vault toilets I've ever used.

Camp host Tammy was fabulous! She was attentive and responsive and worked hard to keep the campground running smoothly. The one complaint we had was the condition of the road. There were so many potholes all throughout the entire loop road and they were deep.

Beautiful spot! Loved that it was fairly spread out and within walking distance to the lake.

Beautiful scenery all around. Easy walk to Alturas Lake. Good hiking trails close by. Campsites are large and spaced out. Short drive to Stanley. Would highly recommend.

Great campground host. Nice level spot but campsite 27 was impossible to back-into without going the wrong way. campground host had to hold up traffic to get in and out

The lake was beautiful and clear. Wildflowers were lovely. The best thing: it was not too crowded. Our only complaint: too many mosquitos! Also, the lake was VERY cold. So, our swimming was at a minimum, but that is due to our cold, wet Spring this year, I'm sure. We had a great, peaceful time at Alturas Lake.

The camp host lady was way too bossy. Always riding around commenting on every little thing, camp Sargent Made the whole experience unpleasant.

Great campsite and hosts. Right next to a nice beach. It was a little swampy due to recent rains but thats the only complaint. Clean toilets. Decent space between each site. Hiking trails close by
