Great access to the lakefront and trails. Vault toilets and not great shade for some campsites.

We got lucky and were able to reserve a spot in Thetis loop as most sites were already reserved and they only had FF (first come, first serve) sites. Our site was all sun no shade as most spots in this loop are… the sun sits directly over this loop, (roughly 7am-4-5pm ish) so if you don’t want direct sunlight I would stay clear of this loop it gets HOT. We were right next to one of 3 vaulted toilets which was nice but also stinky, more at night but only here and there, they are cleaned and checked throughout the day. We had an overall great time but you feel like your camping with your neighbors because the spots have less trees and are more open and it tends to get louder around mid-day/night because this loop is popular with the younger kids because access to the lake, 3 camp hosts all said good luck and they should know, lol. So if you want peace quiet and relaxation I would not recommend Thetis loop. The lake access is the ONLY bonus there! Overall we loved it here and hope to come back soon and explore the other loops if available. Downside, reserving a site here is not fun because available sites always go quick and whats left is FF, now I was told by the person at the front that ALL FF sites there are open after 2 pm to be claimed but I also have been told by ppl who camp there a lot they can go up in the morning SAME DAY walk up and reserve those FF spots and come back at 2 and have a reserved spot in front of everyone else showing up at 2 pm after driving a few hrs and waiting in line? I really hope this is not the case because that would be EXTREMELY unfair for those driving 2-3 hrs to have some fun. Unless i have completely mis understood something? But this would explain a few things….

First, I'd like to say that we love Kachess. Come her a couple times a year. This was my first unpleasant experience.
This Trip was a little different. We cut our trip a day short due to the smoke. I wonder if they should have cancelled and refunded all campers prior. We had campsites 130 and 131. They were totally exposed, no trees...that was a bummer b/c we brought hammocks. The smell from the bathroom wafted over often and was pretty unpleasant. The water level feels like it gets worse every year.
I will be back and know we'll have a great time. Just this experience wasn't all that great.
