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.

Great access to the lakefront and trails. Vault toilets and not great shade for some campsites.

I have been camping at Kachess for nearly 50 years. It's a nice campground on a beautiful lake nearby the Seattle area.

The bathroom on mineral creek loop has deteriorated. Really needs some maintenance to the plumbing and a basic cleaning of the walls.
Camp host did a good job of stocking TP.

This campground is so beautiful and well maintained. I must have found a cancellation because it looks like site 126 is booked for the whole summer. I had my own walking path straight to the water. Paddle boarding was difficult in the afternoons due to the high winds but the mornings were very calm. I used my T-mobile home internet here and was able to stream. There was also very good Starlink coverage. The pit toilets were somewhat clean but still gross and the hand sanitizer was empty. I just used the bathroom in my RV. Will definitely be back!

This was our first time tent camping here and it was incredible! Very clean and spacious site in Box canyon loop that was a very close walk to the water. Our family had a wonderful time on the water with our kayaks and paddle boards!

We got lucky and were able to reserve a spot in Thetis loop as most sites were already reserved and they only had FF (first come, first serve) sites. Our site was all sun no shade as most spots in this loop are… the sun sits directly over this loop, (roughly 7am-4-5pm ish) so if you don’t want direct sunlight I would stay clear of this loop it gets HOT. We were right next to one of 3 vaulted toilets which was nice but also stinky, more at night but only here and there, they are cleaned and checked throughout the day. We had an overall great time but you feel like your camping with your neighbors because the spots have less trees and are more open and it tends to get louder around mid-day/night because this loop is popular with the younger kids because access to the lake, 3 camp hosts all said good luck and they should know, lol. So if you want peace quiet and relaxation I would not recommend Thetis loop. The lake access is the ONLY bonus there! Overall we loved it here and hope to come back soon and explore the other loops if available. Downside, reserving a site here is not fun because available sites always go quick and whats left is FF. Happy camping.
