What Guests Are Saying
Kachess campground offers a beautiful, scenic environment with spacious and private campsites, making it a popular choice for many visitors. Numerous reviews praise the cleanliness of the campground and the friendliness of the staff, along with access to hiking trails and the lake. However, some concerns were raised about sanitation issues in the vault toilets, low lake water levels, and a lack of enforcement of campfire bans, which detracted from the overall experience for some campers.

A good set of campsites, we enjoyed kayaking on Kachess Lake. However the restrooms are very few (only 2 for a whole campground) and hence pretty unclean! They didn't even have wash basins, and were more basic. We still had an overall pleasant experience this summer

The only thing I would have a small issue with is that the site could have been a little more level. Other than that, it was an excellent time and the staff was top notch. I've booked 2 additional stays there this season, so I guess that speaks for itself. Keep up the good work and have a great rest of the season.

We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed it! The camp sites are well maintained and the camp host was great. The lake water level was somewhat low, but not an issue if you're planning on paddleboarding like we did.

We've been loyal visitors to this campground (Box Canyon is our favs) for years, but our recent 4th of July experience was challenging. Arriving an hour early, we were asked to wait until the 2 PM check-in, resulting in a long line of campers on a dusty road. While we understand the need for check-in procedures, it seems allowing campers to enter gradually could enhance the experience for everyone. We love this campground and hope this feedback helps improve future holiday check-ins.

Though a large campground, it is broken down into smaller areas that each feel like their own small campground. We loved Thetis Creek. Our site—120—was large, with good privacy from other campsites. It was right next to one of the bathrooms, which is either a plus or minus depending on your preference. Only a short walk to beach and lake access. Our host was lovely, making sure bathroom was clean regularly and checking in to make sure we had what we needed. One of the hosts even delivered ice to our site when it was late to arrive at the onsite store! Our only complaint would be that many people seem to have no idea about how to share space and talked loudly late at night and early in the morning, but our host did her best to keep things quiet at night, visiting each campsite to remind them that quiet hours start at 10.
