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.

I give it 5 stars because: the hosts were friendly, active, and helpful. The staff were involved and informative. The campsite was wonderful and the weather was beautiful.

We spent the weekend on the Thetis Creek loop which was very convenient to the lake. The campsites were large and we felt like we had adequate privacy. There were no issues with check in when we arrived at 5pm. The lake is fantastic. The campground seems to be well maintained. We will be back for sure!

Sites are amazing, big and spaced out. This was our second year here, and this year the bathrooms were disgusting-- they weren't cleaned or restocked w/ tp for the 3-day weekend we were there.

We hiked the little Kachess lake trail. It’s still very doable thanks to a log boom that happened during a storm. Also kayaked in the lake too.

We came to Kachess not knowing what to expect. Safe to say we will be coming back many more times. We chose campsite 175, and boy was it BEAUTIFUL. It was one of the smaller ones, which we were unaware of and it adjoined another site which we were also unaware of - but that didn't put a damper on our trip. There are many trails you can do, beachy shores you can bask in, water spickets close to the campsites and the bathrooms were incredibly clean for campsite bathrooms. The host was super nice and helpful. My 8yr old enjoyed walking out into the lake and looking at all the wildlife! The only downside to this was the CRICKETS! Oh my gosh, it hit 9:30pm and they were all you could hear! It was a constant buzzing that was never ending. But that's camping for you, wildlife! All in all, I would suggest this campsite to young and old!

We ended up staying on site 2 and then 1. Site 2 was not marked as reserved when we arrived and I did not remember which sites were FF or reservable. The camp host was not on site. We took #2. She showed up later after her arrival to mark #2 as reserved so we had to move everything. Site #1 is great with lake view but it has its caveats. All people going to the beach walk by your site or through it. There is a nice day use area that borders to that site but gets mistaken for camping sites although clearly marked as day use area. I would recommend a different loop or site.
