Wade Lake (MT)

We reserved site #2 the second week of August. It was perfect for 2 trailers (the additional 1 paid for their 2 nights). and we loved the view. It was a hike to the lake, but well worth it. We left all our floating gear at the lake & no one bothered it. There were chipmunks. squirrels, a fox, gophers & deer in our campsite! We watched the meteor shower the night of the 15th & it was awesome to see up there because everything looks do close at Wade. The reservation system is a pain, but should be given to Montanans first, but has really helped eliminate the constant traffic through the campsites! The bathrooms were well supplied & cleaned & the road into Wade has been improved immensely! We have been camping at Wade Lake since 1969, there were a few cabins around the Lake where there are now campsites!!! We love it here & hope to return to it next summer.

There are way too many inconsiderate people. Went 4x this summer. Every time I wished I wasn't there because of loud people. Went back only to see if it would change, but it didn't.
People are talking all night and / or snoring. Kids screaming all day every day. Babies crying every time. People are loud in the mornings, too. Shoreline just packed. People pee in the lake and their dogs pooping in it as well. It used to be super awesome. I think the day use fee should be $20 instead of$5. Do not go if you want privacy and quite. This year was way worse /packed/busy than any years past.

Camping spots were a little close together, but it wasn't super busy :) Beautiful lake

Good times

Camp ground was nice, but spot 24 sucked. Entry to spot is facing the wrong way on a one way narrow road. Very difficult to back in a trailer. Otherwise, wade lake is great.

Lake is beautiful! Site’s parking is pretty small, luckily we only had 1 car, no camper. Tent spot is close to next site’s picnic table area. Nice shade.

Beautiful lake! Nice pull through site. A tent spot next to the picnic table. Enough parking for 2 cars, we didn’t have a camper. Close to bathroom. No cell service in campground some spotty service down at the boat dock.

The campsite host Dave was so amazing and nice to work with!

Camp host very helpful and scenery was gorgeous!

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!
