This was a nice, family friendly campground. We took the kids and stroller and walked under the highway on the path/sidewalk that eventually got us down to the beach. Wasn't super close to the end of town that is crazy busy, shops, etc. which was fine with us. We stayed at the only first-come first-serve type spot, you can specifically call and request it, but because it is the first spot where the road Y's it gets a lot of traffic. It was fine with us, cars were slow, the vibe was mellow and there were lot's of other families. There are way nicer sites within the campground, but we knew we were late to the game and were happy that we could even get this spot. Love the town of Cannon Beach too.

Alta Lake is a nice, clean park with decent tent sites. We had a site in Loop 2 on the right (on the lake side). It was away from the main area, parking lots, boat launch or store, so pretty quiet. Our site was sweet, it had a trail down to a small open sandy stretch of beach that was basically our own private beach. Took the cooler and a pop up tent and enjoyed the beach all day. We went in August and it was hot, the lake was super refreshing! (photo from WA State Parks & Rec commission)

We spent Memorial Day weekend at this park. It was fun, the kids rode bikes, we rented a row boat (they have kayaks, SUP's, etc). The town of Joseph is about 10 minutes with a cute main street area. We stayed in A25 and I think it is the smallest tent site in the whole park (the reason it got 3 of 5 stars). We had a small creek that backed the spot that limited tent placement to one slightly sloped spot squeezed between the road and the picnic table. It was nicely treed by the picnic table which was nice. If we go back, the spot to the right of us (A26) was a really good one (would've been a five star for sure) - spacious, multi tents, etc. This end of the campground was the closest to the lake access, store and docks.
