Ken's Lake Campground

The sites were very spacious, the views around the campground were amazing. The dark sky views were also amazing! The road into the campground was partially paved. Just before entering the campground, the road was somewhat paved on one side and gravel on the other until it was all gravel. Nice and quiet campground. No hookups and only vault toilets. Good location for Arches, Canyonlands, and the Dead Horse Point State Park. We also enjoyed the pool at the Moab Recreation Center.

Not bad

There are close spots to hike, ride off-road, boat, and fish. The campsites were clean and had space between them. I liked that they also had a FFS site available. I caught quite a few fish at Ken's Lake. I was there for the high school MTB races. I hope to do it again next year.

I got there late after a long day of traveling from Park City, UT. Luckily I was able to find an open spot and scan the QR code to book it. Very quiet night as I had hoped. I was awake early because I needed to get to Dead Horse Point for sunrise. I literally never saw the lake, never used the toilet etc.. I just parked, paid and slept.

Booked a last minute site here during the night of a lunar eclipse. I think there were maybe three other spots taken in the whole campground. No privacy at all as there are no trees but it was almost completely empty so we did not care. Unobstructed view of the sky and tall rock formations in the distance. It’s so beautiful. You are truly camping in the desert at Ken’s Lake.

We were in a spot in the upper campground which was a hot, dry, dusty expanse. It lacked any privacy and was basically soulless. There was trash in the fire pit, the site smelled like burning plastic, and when we arrived there at 4pm there were people in our site. The bathroom was clean, but filled with flies. We choose not to stay. It was that bad.

The camp hosts have this campground well in hand. Everything is clean and tidy and evidences close scrutiny and care. Five stars!

We always like coming to Ken’s Lake because of the accessibility to Moab and hiking and biking adventures. I don’t mean E bikes.

Unfortunately the wild fires affected our stay but aside from that this Campground was far from worth the price per night. You barely get what you pay for, a car mat and a tent pad. A picnic tableband and fire pit. The bathrooms were very messy and other campers saw fit to add to the problems. There was only one dumpster on site, and to top it off kens lake is definitely more of a fishing quarry than a swimmable lake. Definitely not worth the detour from moab.

Beautiful campsites and a great hike nearby.
