The site host was friendly and helpful. The toilets were clean and didn't smell bad. The sites were clean; however from there it went downhill.
The site I had would barely fit a large popup camper. The length is ludicrous. And my site, had a site behind it up on a hill, where those people had to come down the hill to sit at a table and had a firepit just feet from MY actual campsite. Site was 19, upper loop.
It is a nice campground to look at, lake looks interesting if fishing; other than that, the campground's layout is terrible. Sites are way too small. Not the normal Forest campground. They put too many sites into the area just to make more money.
I would say take the route off 287 into the campground, the one off 87 is rough; I have a off-road trailer pulled by a truck setup for off-road travel, but many will find it too rough.
Also, please take your garbage out, the morons who were in my site first, left their garbage in the bear box. Not a problem to add it to my garbage bag when I left and then toss into the back of the truck bed to bring home to my garbage container; but it sure made the inside of the bear box stink!
Just another example of lazy American snowflakes.
Will I ever go BACK? NO! Not when there are plenty other forest service campgrounds of dispersed areas to camp in.

Would I visit wade lake campground again? Yes, now that I know how to reach it after leaving the highway. Signage directing you to the campground needs considerable improvement!!

We were fortunate to have a quiet time as it was mic week. It is a beautiful campground and lake. We were extremely disapointed that there is no place for garbage and had to store it inside our vehicle.

Please be advised that not all campsites can accommodate two tents, especially if they are larger, or even one large tent without putting it in the car/RV site. The actual tent platforms are small and some sites are small and sloped. Beautiful lake!

Improved but no garbage pickup, dust & traffic control needed. Day use should be charged. Camp hosts great. Reservations great addition.
