We were able to get a campsite quite close to the water and enjoyed swimming and paddleboarding! The restrooms were clean and had nice showers. We enjoyed our time here!

This location was beautiful. Yes little shade, but not impossible to find any. Love the hiking opportunities around the campsite as well. Don’t recommend coming here when it’s super hot.

Had fun camping here at Alta Lake during a busy summer weekend. The sites were nice and well taken care of. Bathrooms too, although they sometimes ran out of toilet paper - bring a roll along! The showers are free. Swimming and floating on the lake was the highlight. There are also canoes, floats, and paddleboards to rent. There is a nice grassy area above the fenced off swimming area with a few picnic tables and is also close to the concessions stand (open 8:00 to 8:00). There is a new rock climbing playground near there, too.

At first and overall we were supremly impressed with this state park. How to describe? It was as you imagined state parks should be, with a friendly ranger to greet you at the gate (first time ever that there has been a person at the gate AT ALL in several years of camping) and give you directions. Tidy markers everywhere, stone borders, cut grass, and at least one set of spacious clean bathrooms. I say 'one set' because it matters which loop you set up your tent in. The upper loop is where we unknowlingly reserved and boy was that a mistake. It's dusty as all heck and jam packed with very noisy families enjoying their yearly family reunions. There is just one small bathroom facility in the upper loop. It has just ONE shower and with so many people, was just unpleasant from the get-go. Add to this that people were taking advantage of the situation by plugging into the bathroom outlets to fuel their activities at their campsites (yes runnning a HUGE extension line and propping open the bathroom doors to do so), getting very drunk and hanging about the bathroom doors, ie men in front of the women's doors, not picking up after their dogs then wiping the poo off their shoes in the bathroom, the list goes on. In contrast, walk down to the lower loop and it's quiet and orderly, RVs lined up and some tents, everyone quietly walking their dogs after dark, and right on the lake and the grassy mowed areas. Well, now we know. I should add that the ranger DID come by to tell people to quiet down and to ask if we were okay; and that there is only so much park staff can do to keep things clean when the campsites and bathroom are overrun like they were. So we went at a bad time - it was also very smokey from nearby fires. We did checkout a paddle boat from the concessions area (the couple running that are very nice) and had fun on the lake for about an hour. This campground reminded me of campgrounds of my childhood. If only I could go back to those.

We had a nice morning kayaking on the lake. It's fairly small and ski boats can make a lot of waves. It's pretty crowded, we went on a Sunday so maybe busier than a weekday. All in all it was a good experience.

Cool park with a nice lake. Hiked, took pictures of birds and am playing golf tomorrow. Would come again in part because the Ranger (George) is perhaps the nicest and most helpful human I've ever met.

We were pretty disappointed in Alta State Park. The only spots that had electricity were overlooking the lake, which view was very nice, but those spots were one continuous gravel parking lot. There was nothing attractive or memorable about those parking spaces except that it they did have a view of the lake. If we go back we will go back when we don't need AC and find a more attractive camping spot to park.

I wish there were half stars as I would give 3.5 stars.Here is the the good ... Clean campground with clean sites & bathrooms. Some sites w/o hook-ups would work well for smaller RVs. Nice lake access with big beach and water is clean.The not as goods... If you are in an RV and want hook-ups your site options are limited. The sites are too close to each other & one section for RVs is literally a paved area like a parking lot. There are limited trails so the lake better be your choice for the day/stay

Decent state park... HOT, dusty, dry, not much shade. We camped in a tent - no place to pitch other than dirt. Swim beach nice. Store sells ice, ice cream, snow cones, etc. Bathrooms okay... One of the showers had several inches of water in the stall - gross. HUGE party out on the beach that was drinking from glass beer bottles and playing LOUD music - NOT a fan of either. No one said anything to them.
