Where the San Juan Mountains rise above treeline, Alta Lakes sits at high elevation near Ophir, Colorado. This dispersed camping area accommodates RVs up to 25 feet and allows campfires. The lake provides opportunities for fishing and swimming, while hiking and biking trails extend into the surrounding alpine terrain.
Campers can access the site by vehicle, though the mountain roads require attention to clearance and weather conditions. For those wanting developed facilities, Sunshine Campground offers an alternative with more amenities nearby.
