Ken's Lake Campground is a part of the Ken's Lake Recreation Area. The area includes Ken's Lake, a man made reservoir (electric motors only - gas powered engines are prohibited), day use area with a gravel boat ramp, campground, and hiking/equestrian trails. Construction of the reservoir was part of the Mill Creek Project, completed in 1981, which also included a pressurized irrigation water delivery system. In 2000, the site was constructed into a campground and day use area for visitors to enjoy the surrounding recreational activities and scenic vistas.
Located 10 mi south of Moab, Ken's Lake is surrounded by red rock fins to the east, sage brush flats to the south and west, and a reservoir to the north. Distant views from the campground also include the La Sal Mountains and red rock Moab Rim. This site is located at 5.1 ft elevation, similar to Moab. Be prepared October to March for lows below freezing and from June to August highs from 95 to above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
This campground is comprised of loops A and B. Loop A has no vegetation providing shade and is closed during low use season (summer and winter; exact dates vary each year). Loop B stays open year round and has a variety of sites with juniper and cottonwood trees providing shade and privacy.
Loop A is popular with visitors that have large motorhomes and trailers. Loop B has smaller sites and it is difficult for large motorhomes and trailers to turn-around.
The south end of the Steel Bender Jeep Safari Route runs next to the campground, so Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) users are also drawn to this area. Other popular activities originating from the campground or day use area include: hiking, horseback riding, fishing, and non-motorized boating. There are over 3 mi of trails in the lake vicinity with views of the Moab Valley, Faux Falls, La Sal Mountains, and Ken's Lake.

Summary

Ken's Lake Campground is well-maintained with clean facilities and beautiful scenery, making it a great spot for hiking and enjoying nature. Many guests appreciate the spacious campsites and proximity to Moab, as well as the nearby waterfall and fishing opportunities. While some noted issues like limited shade, messy bathrooms, and the presence of mice, the overall experience is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
The area was recently devastated by the epic flooding in September 2022, but our campsite was fine and the trails were manageable since it was dry. More rain could result in a lot more mud!
The bathrooms were clean enough, but not as nice as the flush toilets at Dead Horse Point SP or the Colorado National Monument.
We had a reservation for site 38A. When we arrived about 7pm there was a tent set up at the site, no vehicle. We weren't sure what to do so we found the camp host. She told us to set up our tent and, when the other people came back, to give them 3 other camp options. Long story short the couple drove in around 9 pm and the man was obviously looking for a fight. He cursed us out, threw a large rock at me and then threatened to get his gun! It was very upsetting and unnecessary. If the camp host had relocated us at 7 we would have been perfectly happy in another spot. As it was we were up all night waiting for this lunatic camper to come back and harass us. There must be a better way to handle reserved spots!
We have loved this campground for years but the new system of reservations is deplorable. Never met anything so complicated & confusing. Stats on the computer bear no resemblance to numbers on the ground. There are even first come sites showing reserved on line!???? Lots of people looking for sites which are allegedly reserved but are never occupied then 2 people with printed reservations for the same site. The new camp host will have a challenge on her hands.
Views were amazing. The campsites were very nice and bathrooms were clean. The locals however, came around every night with loud music, driving through the campsites, yelling and kicking up dust and even parking at the lake until all hours of the night playing loud music and partying. This was very off putting.
