Ada Lake Campground

Overview

Ada Lake Recreation Area is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of some of the more popular recreation sites on the Lakewood-Laona District. It has many amenities of the other recreation areas, just not all the crowds. There are plenty of sites to see on the district and Ada Lake Recreation area can serve as a home base.

Recreation

The exceptionally clear water makes it great for swimming, and the lake contains northern pike, bass, rainbow trout, and panfish. Another nice feature is the boat landing which makes the lake easily accessible to non-motorized boats.

Facilities

Ada Lake Campground has 19 sites. A majority of sites can accommodate campers as long as 30 feet and longer. Drinking water, vault toilets, swim beach, picnic area, and a boat landing are also provided at this location.

Natural Features

Clear water, a sandy beach, and a blue sky are all it takes for many to have a memorable camping experience. Ada Lake Campground offers this and more.

Great campground with large sites both on and off the water. Beach is wonderful and lake is quiet - no wake. Nice walk from beach to boat landing either by lakeside trail or road. Carter Casino is only 12 min away for fun or if water and dump station services needed. Have visited twice now!

This is my 30th year of camping at Ada lake. Thru the years i have seen less care and upkeep to this campground. There was a birthday party held on the beach, the day I arrived. Extra cars and trucks in my site and on both sides of the road. Needless to say, they used the beach and site #4, but never stayed over, nor did they clean up the beach area. It seems more weeds have crept into the sand. Years ago the Forest service would rake the beach each weekend. They also used to put out toilet paper. This year we had to carry our own or go and get rolls from the other bathrooms. I have considered being a camp host for a month, how do we apply, costs, and is this something the forest service wants or needs? This place is a hidden gem, kayaking the lake , listening to the loons, very peaceful! please keep it that way.

This campground was beautiful. The sites were large and spread apart nicely, with lovely tree cover. The bathrooms were always clean and well stocked with toilet paper, and the beach was clean and well maintained. This was an excellent spot for a weekend getaway with the family’s we will definitely be back!

I found the whole reservation system to be quite confusing. We did manage to get it straightened out with a Ranger’s help. Ada lake Iis one of my favorite places to camp.
