Very noisy neighbors both nights we were there, and with having a baby it was hard to sleep with the loud laughter and screaming from people who were drinking nearby.

But the campground was nice with lots of places to walk around. Bathrooms needed toilet paper to be restocked though.

Amazing trip! Beautiful weather where it was hot at the campsite (lots of sites are fully exposed) but felt 10 degrees cooler at the water. We enjoyed the lake all day, lots of space to stay socially distant.

We arrived and it was a very busy day at Lake Kachees. We were able to find out campsite easily and it was very clean. The atmosphere was great and it was very relaxing place to stay. The lake was absolutely beautiful and you could see all of the stars at night.

We love this campground, but I wouldn't camp in site 153 again. Due to hazard tree management, the site is very exposed. Although it is listed as a standard site, it is actually a double, but there isn't really room for two families to camp. Lastly, the area is so impacted by use that the ground is loose duff, and we came away with all our clothing and gear coated in a thick layer of dirt. There was evidence of recent replanting, and I am grateful to the FS for their efforts to keep this campground open while trying to enhance the condition of the forest here.

Campsite was great, easy walk to the lake. The main negative was the servicing of the bathroom. Each morning there would be no toilet paper left until about 11:00am when they would finally come around and replenish it - so if you needed the toilet between about 9:30pm and 11:00am, you needed to have brought your own! I'll never go camping without a backup roll in my supplies again! Additionally, when our party arrived separately, the 2nd car had difficulty getting into the campground because they did not have the site numbers on hand. There was limited to no cell service so it was a problem trying to get that information to them in order to gain entry. The campground should have a better system of looking up sites by last name.

This is a wonderful campground, and an original jewel of the Pacific Northwest. My extended family enjoys our annual week of camping here, we've been doing this for the last 17 years. We choose to come here because we love it so much. I certainly hope that we can continue to camp here for years to come.
