Wade Lake is a beautiful and well-maintained campground with stunning scenery, clear water, and a family-friendly atmosphere. While the sites can be crowded and small, many visitors appreciate the cleanliness of the facilities and the recreational opportunities available, such as paddleboarding. Some campers noted issues with noise from construction and nearby sites, yet overall, it remains a popular destination for nature lovers seeking a pleasant getaway.

Lots of people but the lake was fun for the grandkids. Our campsite was nice but the fire grate needs to be replaced. Lots of trash off in the weeds near the day use area. Campground host needs to do a better job.

We never met the camp host, and the bathroom was not well-maintained. The lake and neighbors were wonderful, so no complaints there! Well-worth the drive to get there- absolutely stunning.

We had a wonderful experience camping at Wade Lake Campground. The camp hosts were very kind and welcoming. Our site was very well maintained. We took our drift boat and were lucky to have a campsite because the parking lot filled up very quickly. Make sure to get there early if you need a spot

We had 3 tents to set up and the campsite I reserved was a bit small and required walking a trail up a hill to the tent spots. But we didn’t mind, it made it more of an adventure! Very nice little campground.

Although this spot used to be awesome for the locals, it is now blown up so bad that every spot is a 6 month reservation. Made reservations 6 months ago, showed up, and not a single other person showed up to their reservation and the camp host claimed they got to keep their spot even if it was unattended the first night (which isn’t allowed) All in all, prepare for a shitty time and an even tougher time getting a reservation since everyone has to reserve 6 months in advance

We love staying at Wade Lake and have for many years. The campground host was easily accessible and friendly. It’s not the greatest campground for tent camping but that said, we’ve made it work for many years.

Camp host was awesome. Lake is beautiful. Lots of mosquitoes when we went this time. My only complaint was the people driving too fast through the campground to get to the dock/beach area and putting up a lot of dust. Also, the picnic tables are in need of repair. You can get cell phone service if you drive to the top of the hill above the lake.

This is the most beautiful lake we have ever camped at. The water literally looks like the Caribbean and so clean. We camped in a tent at site 6, which offers a great view of the water and is right across from the water spigots and the vault toilets. This is also right by the day use parking lot, but it didn’t bother us any and the people were all friendly. We rented a canoe our last day there and had the best time out on the water. I hope we get the opportunity to come back very soon!
