Alta Lakes is amazing! First off, make sure you have 4WD if you're going to attempt it. The drive is tough and has some water crossings too. You'll pass an abandoned mining town and continue of the road for a while before you reach the lake. It took us about 30 mins to get up and down the mountain. The lake is beautifully blue with gray snow covered stunning peaks surrounding it. You can camp in a few spots around the lake or make your own off the shore. It's up pretty high so make sure you're ready for a cold night!

if you can't make it to the top or don't feel like driving all the way you can camp off of the road anywhere you find a flat spot!
