This is a beautiful area! We reserved spot 045 in the beargrass area and it was a really great campsite!! There was tons of space, the fire pit was a good size, and it was pretty private as well!
My only real complaint was that our neighbors got pretty noisy, especially late at night. However a ranger did come around to talk to them and they were quieter/calmer for the remainder of our trip.
Really a lovely place to camp ☺️

Good experience for first time camping. Campsite seemed small to fit 12 people, 8 people or 4 tents can fit in the site. Lake is good. Very few parking at lake picnic area so need to park vehicle as campsite. Restrooms were quite clean at campsite. Overall we enjoyed alot.

Absolutely will come back! Large campsite, easily fits 3 tents. Easy walk to the lake - Kachess lake is awesome for both kids and adults . Very friendly camp hosts, reminded us about the active bears. (We didn't see any bears during our stay). It would be perfect if there's shower.

It seemed overly crowded. The loud voices of the nearby campers was intrusive. The camp host was not visible --I never had an opportunity to meet or talk to them. The toilet paper in the bathroom ran out. It was difficult to judge from the online map how far our campsite was from the lake. It was a long walk with young children. The swimming area was very small and extremely crowded and parking was difficult.
