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.

This was a very vibrant campground. Loved the day use areas and large single sites. We'll be camping here again. T-mobile had good texting coverage most of the time.

It’s was a very good camp ground. The only downside was not being able to have a campfire due to the burn ban.
Next time I will make sure there is no ban before I make reservations.

We got off to a rough start. We arrived and the previous group was still set up in our spot. There was some kind of miscommunication, someone thought our reservation was cancelled, but it wasn't. The front gate had our reservation so not sure where the mix up came from. Big kudo's to Harry for being patient with us and helping us search for another spot to temporarily stay in until the next morning. We were pretty disappointed that this was how our trip started and it was a but inconvenient to have to move everything the next day, but he was very kind about it all and refunded our first night, which was appreciated! As someone who works in customer service I get wanting to make every customer happy, and while we weren't the happiest campers to begin with he made sure to check back in with us throughout the weekend to make sure we were having a good time. His good service definitely saved the day and a customer.

Perfect camp for families- spread enough so it doesn't feel crowded, kids may bike around, the lake is cold but beautiful. We come back a few times every summer.

Camping was great and we had plenty of room for everyone. My only call out is if you're looking to book Spot 55 and 58 since they look close together, they are not. 55 is across the road (maybe 20-30 yards) on the other side from 58. After walking around, I'd recommend 59 and 62 if you're looking for spots near each other (it looks like 60 is in the middle between the two on the map, but it's actually on the other side of the road).
