What Guests Are Saying
Wade Lake is praised for its stunning beauty, serene atmosphere, and well-maintained campground, making it an excellent spot for family recreation and relaxation. Many visitors enjoyed activities like paddleboarding and canoeing, appreciating the clear waters and picturesque scenery. However, some campers faced challenges with the reservation system, limited space, and occasional noise from generators, though these did not overshadow the overall positive experience.

Even though I put my specs in for our camper, our camper and truck would not fit in the space. We had to rebook another spot and cancel the one we had. What a mess.

Wade Lake Campground is always a good experience. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that the campground looked a little smaller than in the pictures. The other campsite was right behind ours, and we had a hard time understanding where our space ended and theirs began. Otherwise, it’s always a great experience, and we still had lots of fun!

We reserved site #20 which was beautiful, private & very serene. However, trying to get this reservation was dam near impossible! If you want to spend every morning ready to click "Add to Cart", then rec.gov is your place to go!! I spent countless days trying to get ANY site reservation. When I did get one for 7 days, I tried to reserve a site for my daughter & family for 2 nights. The website would not le me reserve another one in my name because I already had one!! BS!!! there were many campsites reserved campsite reserved with no one in them!! This reservation system does not work & shoud definitely be revamped to work for the people, not against them!!! And most of the reservations are taken by out of staters! What about Montana residents?! We shoud always have first picks at our campsites!

Lovely place. We stayed at site 25 which was super close to another campsite, but everyone was respectful and it was totally fine. We could walk down to the lake easily from there. I can’t get over what a beautiful place this is. We rented a canoe from Wade Lake resort for the day and had a blast. Couldn’t have been better weather and no bugs.

It was fun having our own lake access and a place for kids to explore. We were also close to the bathroom which kids accessed it easily.
