Kents Lake Campground

Mike, the camp host is a wonderful man. He checked every night to make sure things were in order. No one had left their campfire burning unattended, etc. The restrooms were always clean. The lake is beautiful. The camp sites are spread far enough apart that you feel secluded. Its a lovely campground. We highly recommend it.

Great views, clean bathrooms, clean drinking water, shady campsite…you can’t go wrong!

We were at site 3. We have a 37' trailer and that was a bit of a challenge due to the trees and the curve. Not very level but we were prepared. Little walk to the shore. Fun fishing. Beautiful weather with afternoon showers. Cows woke us up one morning but weren't walking through the campsites. A beautiful doe came to visit each day.
Truck got hot climbing those last 4 miles to the campground. Breaks got hot on the way down. Take your time, watch your gauges and you will have a lovely location to relax out of the heat of the Summer. (It was 106 when we got back home and we wished we were still on the mountain!)

Kent’s lake is beautiful

The camp host does nothing but replenish toilet paper. The bathrooms need to be cleaned daily and pumped and dumped. Poop on the toilet, mud , I hope, on the floor. Fire pits full of ash.
We have been camping at this location for about ten years and since this guy has been host, it’s gotten worse. I wish I would have taken time in the past 4 yrs to complain. I hoped it would get better…His excuse is that he is 76 and won’t wear his hearing aids. Well we have had enough!
I have pictures too!

I am sad to say that the camp host needs to retire or fired ~ we had 7 sites with r party a week ago ~ ever fire pit and cooking pit was filled with burnt wood ~ we also complained that the pit pots (toilets) needed to be emptied he stated that he would call ~ hell the poop was to the top of the tank ~ how did he not know that ~ as the 4 days passed I realized he does nothing other than drive around in the cart ~ add toilet paper and drive down to the lake to chat with the locals or visitors ~ this place was a shit show at best ~ I complained to the two rangers as they drove through but they stayed that it is up to you & ur company to do something ~ please do something like not renewing his contract ~ bring an inspector in ~ fire him ~ in the past 10 years I have watched this location slipping into one of the worst places to camp & all because of this host

I love Kent's Lake.... BUT, the sites on the reservation map Do Not Match the numbering of the sites at Kent's Lake.
Very disappointing......

I want to start by saying we HAVE NEVER had an issue at Ken't Lake until this year. We love this campground. I reserved our favorite site, 23, as soon as it became available on the recreation.gov website months ago. When we arrived at the campground on Friday, June 14th, there was a family at our site (this was after 2:00 PM). We pulled over and asked if they were leaving soon. They informed us that they were not leaving until the following day. I let them know that the site was reserved, had been for months, and that we needed it. This is when they told us that the site was a 'First come, First serve' and that our reservation did not matter. This is when we went to talk to the camp host. Long story short, he had our name, the site we reserved and the dates on his list but stated the other family would not be asked to move and that we would have to pick another site. The host prioritized the family that did not reserve instead of us, the ones that had reservations for months. The host said the owner changed which sites could be reserved, and ours (#23) was one of them. The website never let me know this, so we went thinking our site was reserved. Needless to say, we were not happy and told the host to have the family gone by mid-morning the next day so our kids could occupy the site for the rest of our reserved days. So, my warning is that if you make a reservation, your site may be occupied when you get there. Thank goodness we had a hotel on Friday evening and didn't need to camp that first night. But if we had, I would have insisted the host GIVE US priority and ask the other family to move sites. My other observation was the bathrooms were not well maintained. The floors would be mopped, but the toilet needed a GOOD cleaning and was not. We used Clorox wipes to clean the seats so we could sit down. Past hosts would hose down and scrub the toilets so that when you opened the lid, you were not looking at everyone else's...you know what I mean.

Kent's is GREAT!!

Kents Lake campground was such a great discovery for us. Snow still on the mountain across the lake in late May, quiet, green and cool at night. Quite a difference from the high temperatures in the Zion canyon where we we during the day. Lovely, friendly camp host. It is high up, requires a 4.4 mile drive up a windy dirt road to more than 8000 feet where the air is thin. Don't turn around, thinking you are lost. It is there waiting for you to enjoy and see the sunset at the end of the lake. The whole site was impeccably clean, including the restrooms. We were there only for one night. Nice place to unwind and breath some fresh air.

Facilities were great (bathrooms). Campgrounds nice and roomy.
