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.

The proximity to the Seattle area means this campsite is super popular. This means it attracts all sorts of people, like those whose dogs poop in the road and don't clean it up, or those who decide their marshmallow fire is more important than the Stage 2 fire ban, or those who shoot their guns in a packed campground for funsies. If your trip is of the "avoid society" mood, this isn't the campground for you. If your trip is of the "weekend vacation" vibe, this is up your alley. Very family friendly.
I found cell coverage went out the further north in the campground I got. The bathrooms have actual toilets and sinks which I found surprising, but no soap. The Little Kachess Trail #1312 was a supremely cool trail and much more difficult than I was expecting. I enjoyed it a lot.

Beautiful campgroud, friendly staff, but unfortunately we wont be back. There are too many rocks and bollards making it nearly impossible to park your RV and no room for tow vehicle. Staff had to cut down tree so we could get out of the spot as there was not enough clearance to make to turn(swing).

It's don't write a review about Kachess.
I don't want people to find out about the gem that it is.
I don't want people to know how great the hosts are.
I don't want people to find out about the lake.
How close it is to Seattle and Roslyn
How magical it is to camp surrounded by tall trees
How clean the sites are.

Extremely noisy campsite neighbors!!!! Between the loud, screaming children at night, the loud music after 10pm, and the loud generator early in the morning, it was not pleasant!

Our campsite was relatively private, which was a huge plus for our trip. The lake is wonderful. We don't have a boat, so I would recommend a paddleboard or kayak to have a nice float on the water (it was pretty chilly.)

We had a wonderful weekend at Lake Kachess. The lake was beautiful and the campsites were well maintained. It was a bit crowded near us so we moved our tent further into the forest which really gave us a wilderness-like feel. The staff were so sweet and helpful. Could not recommend more!
