Whistlin Pines was awesome! Tara is so kind and welcoming. Our friend and I booked campsites that were a bit far from each other and she remedied that and we had the perfect setup. Tara also checked in with us midway to make sure that the large group in the cabins weren't being too rowdy/loud for us at night (they weren't!) which was appreciated.
The area itself is super gorgeous and private. Way way better than the state campground. So much room to explore. We loved the beach, and the kids loved paddleboarding. The lake is clean and safe. Even as a lifelong Washingtonian, I was surprised at the amount of wildlife there. Dragonflies, birds, ducks, and many more. So lovely. We will be back!

Very private place to camp compared to what the park offers (butt to butt camp spots) which was great, hot showers were amazing, some of the best camp showers I’ve ever used!

My girlfriend and I had the most relaxing and wonderful stay at Whistlin' Pines Ranch. The host is lovely, the land is enchanting, the wildlife is thriving, the lake is perfect for boating and we took a canoe all around it. There are basic hot showers available for use which was a lovely surprise. The campfire pits are nice and built up with rocks from the land. The weather was perfect. The stars were so numerous and bright. On our way out we enjoyed hiking a nearby trail and observing the whole area from above.
I give it 10 stars, we will be back as soon as possible.

We had a fantastic stay! Tara was a responsive and friendly host who made us feel welcome right away. The campsites were well kept, with plenty of space and privacy. The views were absolutely beautiful, and the lake was perfect for both paddle boarding and swimming—such a peaceful and refreshing spot. We will definitely be back, and I’ll be recommending this place to everyone I know!

From the moment you see the Whistlin Pines sign you know this place is going to be special! Beautiful property, great access to the lake with a cut lil dock and beach area to access the lake. The ducks playing in the water was so fun to hear! Large site with so many options for set up, even two perfect trees for our hammock. Lots of firewood on hand to purchase and horseback riding available. Tara was so nice and came to greet us. Sadly, my little got too scared out camping but we will definitely be back with friends so he's not so scared. 10/10 recommend especially if you have a group!

Had a great weekend. The lake was busy over Labor Day weekend lots of boats and jet skis but still able to enjoy being on our paddle boards. Easy access to the lake from our camp site. Beautiful views of the mountain range.

Well kept campground with breathtaking scenery. We had an amazing day paddleboarding on Alta Lake. Highly recommended. Tara is such a great host.

This is a fantastic place! It is at the opposite end of the lake from the State Park so it is very quiet. The cabins are primitive but serviceable from what I could see. The tent site has easy access to the lake, potable water and the portapottys. The lake is gorgeous in the morning for paddleboarding.

Tara and her daughter were very kind and responsive hosts and the site was well-located, adjacent to the beautiful lake. The main issue we had was with insects - there were so many bees (yellow jackets, I believe) - and they were everywhere, all the time. My son got stung...not fun. We were careful about cleaning up right away and putting away our food, but they did not give us a moment to relax at our site. The mosquitos were also problematic at night (my friend got eaten alive).
Tara explained that it's been a rough summer with insects as it wasn't a cold enough winter. This would have been good to know ahead of time as it was impossible to relax.

What an amazing property! Located just past the state park, Tara was an amazing campground host and greeted us upon arrival. All sites are close to the lake and there’s a dock with private access for campers. Loved the sounds from all the wildlife at night. Many birds visited our campsite and even some butterflies. We needed a weekend away from the city and this place was great! Will come stay here again.

I ended up getting upgraded to a different tent site that Tara recommended. It was great! Fairly private and closer to the lake. We had some mildly rowdy neighbors the first night. But they mellowed out the next few nights. I caught some nice trout from the shore and had a great time. Tara is a very kind and gracious host. Will definitely book another stay at the ranch.

A very private and beautiful campsite! Tara was very accommodating and helpful. Great at communication. We even had a campsite bear (friendly) to hang out with!
