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

Great campground by the beach. Hosts were friendly. Bathrooms and sites were clean. Be aware of not booking a double site if you only need a single as the sites on Recreation.gov do not tell you what you are booking.

We were there early in the season and it was a wet spring. Some camp spots were wet. Ours was not. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed it immensely
