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.

Nice sized but 64 is definitely a bit smaller than 65. Lots of people walked through to go to the bathroom which was a little scary at night. Otherwise we loved our time

Reserved a site in Gale Creek loop, during the week. The site was not big enough for my RV, even though the website claimed I would fit. The site was also very rocky and uneven. Also, there were people from the day use area parking in that space when I arrived. I had to ask them to move before I could even try to get in it. Luckily the camp host came by and offered to move us to a different loop (I was going to meet with family in Gale Loop the next day), and led me to the Beargrass Flat loop which had several larger spaces unused during the week. Had it been a weekend reservation I would not have been able to stay, since the campsite was incorrectly measured. Don't know what I'd have done in that case. Gale loop is generally too small for most rigs longer than 24 feet, so don't be fooled by the site measurements.

What is up with the flies in the vault toilets?? Every single toilet (and we checked several throughout the campground) was like something out of a horror movie- literally pouring out of the toilet itself. This really encourages unhygienic practices of using nature instead of the vault toilets and it’s no wonder we saw wadded up used toilet paper all throughout the surrounding woods. Please fix this, or at minimum hang some fly paper!! We will not return!!

We have many happy memories from past years but now the lake is just a trickle and mud pit, our camphost took off one night at sunset leaving his tank of grey water behind and neighbors decided to start a huge fire during burn ban. The trash, the flies in the pit toilet, the threat of burning alive with unbridled camper behavior. I can't return. Very sad.

Nicely maintained facility with lots of shade at the campsite. Close to the Lake and creeks.

This is a very busy campground. Every day from 3 to 5 cars passed my campsite continuously, almost like a freeway. The sites were beautiful but previous campers left waste on the ground all over. At night, campers were noisy so I had to wear my earplugs to get to sleep. Amazingly, a ten minute walk away and there was wonderful, beautiful Lake Kachess with almost no one on it. I couldn't believe that it was so quiet and so uninhabited. Quite a contrast!!!!!!!
