Alta Lake State Park

About
Alta Lake State Park is a 174-acre camping park where mountainous pine forests meet the desert. The lake is about 2 miles long and a half mile wide and offers good trout fishing, conditional waterskiing, and windsurfing during summer months. Lake Chelan, with its many activities, is 30 minutes away.
Is Alta Lake State Park fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
CampHawk watches Alta Lake State Park in Pateros, WA for you. We recheck it every 15 seconds, around the clock, and the moment a site opens we send a text, an email and a push notification, with a link straight to the booking page.
Searching is free and needs no account — the calendar above is live right now. Watching Alta Lake State Park for cancellations is the paid part.
