Wakeside Lake sits at the center of this RV-focused campground in Rexburg, Idaho, giving sites along its edge views of open water and a shoreline accessible enough for kids to wade in. The campground runs from April through October, with nightly rates between $35 and $48 for full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. All sites are pull-through and gravel-surfaced, most of them level without much adjustment needed. Campers traveling between Yellowstone and Glacier frequently use it as a mid-route stop, and its proximity to Highway 20 makes getting in and out straightforward.
Shade is one of the most consistent things reviewers mention. Mature trees cover the majority of sites, which matters when summer temperatures push into the mid-90s. The front sites near the entrance have noticeably less canopy cover, so campers who want shade should request a site further back, such as site 27, which also sits close to the laundry and bathhouse. Jack Adrian L. sums up the layout plainly: "a very simple RV park, nice shade, easy to access beach on a manmade lake."
Highway noise is worth factoring into expectations. The campground sits adjacent to a busy road, and while several reviewers note that the sound is less intrusive than expected from inside a rig, tent campers have found it harder to tune out, particularly overnight. The lake itself is usable for paddleboarding and boating, and the campground has a catch-and-release fishing pond with pole rentals for $5. Facilities are consistently described as clean, with staff available by phone for after-hours arrivals.
One electrical quirk comes up in reviews: some sites share a junction box between two rigs, with one 50-amp and one 30-amp outlet per box. Campers with specific power requirements should confirm their amperage when booking to avoid sorting it out on arrival. WiFi, a dump station, and on-site laundry round out the hookup amenities. Idaho Sky RV Resort sits just northwest if this one is full, and Wind Willows RV Park is another nearby option. Reservations are accepted but not always required, as at least one reviewer arrived without one and was accommodated. Booking ahead is the safer move during peak summer weeks.
