Top 10+ Tent Campgrounds near Altamont, UT

I have been camping here for about 30 years and I'm only 30 years old. My family and our camp friends have been going here, year after year, for the great camp sites, fun hiking and most of all, the sublime waterskiing. To keep it fairly brief, the camp sites are mainly situated around a large, open, slightly uneven grass area which is great for tent camping and day activities (volleyball, frisbee, catch, BBQing.) Not much shade from the smaller trees but there are shaded picnic tables for each site. Around that are the RV sites with full hookups. The surrounding tent sites are in a more desert like, sandy area where I haven't spent much camp time. The bathrooms are usually clean and in good working order with running water, but nothing fancy (no showers.) The lake has a plethora of awesome acitivites including boating, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, cliff jumping, fishing and does provide some rentals. We usually try to go during the week as it does get quite busy/crowded on weekends.

Been going here every year for 20 years. We love to fish and cook them over the fire at night. We use the jakes fishing hooks. The silver and gold ones worked the best. Their bathrooms are clean. You can rent a little fishing boat for the day. They upgraded their shop and added a little ice cream bar. The new staff is very friendly. They even have little cabins you can rent that include extra things such as a fridge. Camp sites near the lake don’t have as many trees and campsites further from the lake but there is some shade still. They have single tent, double tent camp sites. It’s a great place to camp, we went in July this year and there were not any mosquitos.

I love camping at Red Fleet State Park for so many reasons. Surrounded by beautiful red rock and pinion pines, the beauty of the desert will take your breath away. There are fossilized dinosaur tracks in the rocks across the lake, and beautiful hiking trails for you to enjoy. One of my favorite things to do every year is to camp there during Paddlefest. They close down the lake to all motorized vehicles, so that people can enjoy paddle boarding, kayaking, and all other forms of non motorized floating. Live music, vendors, and so much more! The camp spots are limited during this time, so you must reserve quickly. All camp spots have a fire ring and covered picnic table. Some of the tent camp sites have trails down to the lake. There are also two teepees you can rent!
