Altamont in UT -- Campground & RV Camping

Adjoining the Mount Timpanogos Wilderness Area, this group facility includes a large paved parking lot, a covered picnic shelter with tables and a campfire circle, flush toilets, and drinking water.

Nearby attractions include Timpanogos Cave National Monument and non-motorized boating at Tibble Fork Reservoir.
