Seasonal mountain-lake park near Pateros with 125 numbered vehicle sites, partial-hookup options, showers, a trailer dump, and a 38-foot limit.
Alta Lake State Park is a seasonal campground above Pateros. The current campground map numbers 125 vehicle campsites across three loops, with both standard and partial-hookup options. Washington State Parks lists showers, drinking water, a trailer dump, and an equipment limit of 38 feet. Loop closure dates vary in fall and spring, so travelers should use the current winter schedule rather than a single park-wide opening date.

Practical guidance assembled from current operator maps, park pages, and clearly identified community observations.
The 125-site count follows all numbered vehicle campsites on the current map. Hookups are partial rather than full; choose by loop, utility type, and pad length.
