Kachess Lake Lakebed

Dispersed camping , plenty space but some times overcrowded if temperature is above 80.

Great spot off the lake to camp for the night. The rangers were putting out a fire when we arrived. Seems to have been successful. There is a burn ban in effect for this reason. If you are looking for solitude, this is not the spot. It's popular for large groups with ATVs but people were respectful and I slept like a baby after the sun went down.

This place is amazing, easy to get into, lots of camping spaces, beautiful views.

There is a lot of garbage, and especially broken glass bottles 😢

Asides from that is great! We have full bars on T-Mobile, and have no neighbors with 300 feet or so.

The entrance is a little tricky, and the “road”s are a little rough when you’re down here.

 Great boondocking. We made it fine in our 26ft class c, but the big sharp-edged rocks were concerning to drive over. And when we left we found a giant rock wedged between the two back tires (the dually tires). Not sure if we would go back, for this reason. But the lake level was really low when we stayed there, so there was plenty of available space for camping. A van or two, a truck camper, tent campers, a little scamp, and lots and lots of day time ATV users shared this space with us. 

Cell service was good for both ATT and Verizon. Even though the area looks so remote, it’s right next to the road, so you have road noise that’s fairly loud. There was some trash, normal amounts, nothing horrible, until we came across this massive dumping ground of cans and food waste and broken glass and just general garbage, a couple miles north, along the lake. It was so disheartening.

Up to $5,000 fines for litter and $10,000 for illegal fire (plus up to a year jail time) now enforced!

People are destroying this lake. There is NO legal driving in the lake bed, even when the water is low. The lake bed is spawning grounds for the endangered Bull Trout. The lake nearby, Kacheless, is now closed due to people driving in the lake bed.

There are also burn bans July-September due to extremely high fire danger. Mountains of garbage around due to no garbage services, and human feces everywhere.

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. Respect the land on which you travel, or this too will be closed down.

Pretty good, many people riding atvs and dirtbike which kind of ruins the experience.
