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 campsite was clean and very easy to access. Our visit was quiet but families were around with children and pets. The bathrooms seemed to be lacking in cleanliness, even when we tried other area bathrooms. But, overall, we had a great time and really like the campgrounds and lake.

Big site could easily fit 2 more tents on it. Water was clear and cold but fun to swim in. Bring water shoes because it's rocky! Bathrooms were cleaned daily and always had TP. Great stay

We had a great experience at the Kachess Campground. We camped at Site: 116,Thetis Creek. The tree coverage overhead wasn’t as dense compared to the other campgrounds so we could see the stars at night. Basic toilet facility just 100’ to the right of our campsite. We pitched two tents and hung a rain tarp close to the fire pit. Plenty of room. Pottable water spigot close by too as well as trash dumpsters 150’ to left. This site is a little more tucked away which was nice. We will be back.

We love returning to Kachess and enjoying the large campsites, beautiful lake, and great access to hikes.
The big drawback this time was the lack of bathroom maintenance in Mineral Creek loop. The water didn't seem to be on, so other campers had used the facilities many times without any flushing. It was the worst bathroom we've ever been in after years of camping.

I have camped here for years, dating back to my childhood. Nice place, close to home. Nice area to ride bikes and kayak. The lake level has been low the last few years which is disappointing for accessing lake with kayak, etc. The general store opening last year is a nice addition. I like that there are still some sites that are first come, first serve - as well as other sites that are reservable, so fits a variety of needs.

Beautiful location, very comfortable campsite. The site itself was very spacious, with room for 2 large tents. The bathrooms were well equipped. Would love to be back!

Love camping at Kachess! We stayed in the Box Canyon area and the sites are large and the toilets clean. Not a bad walk to the shore or to the non-motorized boat launch. Sunset on the lake is the best. Have fun!
