A little out of the way but super clean camp, great camp hosts, regular LE patrols, and plenty of fishing.
Can fill up on hoidays and weekends but getting a 1st come, 1st serve site midweek is almost always possible.

We LOVE this campground. The spaces are not cramped together, huge trees for an added feeling of privacy and its walking distance to the river. Our only negative to this specific site is it is backwards for those with a trailer. The doors will open to the road instead of the picnic table area. Not a huge deal though.

Large, sturdy picnic table and fire ring in each spot. Pit toilet room is large, clean and well maintained. Mature pines offer welcome shade. Site spacing is a good balance of privacy and safety through proximity. Nearby riverbank (clear, rushing mountain stream) is a beautiful destination. Tent campers may pitch on fine crushed gravel or dirt (be prepared to cut a few young sprouts to prepare the area). Convenient potable water spigot. No network connection, so approach campground understanding not only how to get there, but also where yo go when you leave.

Beautiful campground. Very well spaced out sites. We had site 5, which had creek/river access. Very quiet and peaceful. Camp-host was very pleasant hand helpful with any questions we had. It is farther away from town if you forget anything. Plenty of shade to keep cool.

Alta campground is a great place to stay, with tall pine trees, a nearby river, and clean, accessible drinking water and toilets; but most importantly were the wonderful, kind, and friendly camp hosts, Karen and Chris. Also, it is a quiet place where you can relax and enjoy the surrounding environment.
