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.

Clean camp site. Very clean (but dark) bathrooms (virtually no smell inside). Quick walk to the beach. Could hear the roar of Gale Creek. Friendly and hardworking staff.

Lovely group site with plenty of room for two families but only one picnic table.

Great campsites - large and private. Easy access to the lake, which is beautiful, cold, and clear.

We were in site #116 in Thetis Creek. After walking through the entire campground I feel this is one of the best sites. Very private. Could barely see the people in the next site due to thick underbrush. A short walk to a really nice beach for swimming, kayaking, etc. Water spigot right across the road. We had a 27' popup that barely fit with our truck. Site slopes down slightly at the back so we didn't go as far back into the site as we could have. All in all I loved this campground and would come more often if not for the distance. Far enough off I90 that there is no traffic noise.

Large, no service sites as expected. Only concern was use of generators off hours.

Love the trees for privacy between sites! Beautiful lake and woods! The area immediately around the parking pad was not very level and a bit rugged, made it difficult to even have a camping table level to cook on or use. The small stumps placed in the ground to outline the parking pad made it difficult to spread out a carpet and to be under the RV awning. But overall great experience! Serene and quiet and clean.
