The state of Washington offers some kind of activity to please almost everyone who visits. The Evergreen State benefits from a diverse collection of ecological regions--high mountains, rolling plains and rugged coastline--that make RV camping in Washington a possibility just about any time of year.

Alta Lake State Park

Alta Lake State Park is located in north central Washington. This park on the lake offers 32 spaces with hook-ups for rigs up to 38 feet in length. The lake is a popular destination for trout fishermen and sailboarders. A wide variety of birds hang out in the area, making the park a friendly spot for campers who enjoy birding.
