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.
We were late on getting a reservation and didnot get a good campsite like we usually do. We were in 22 and the constant traffic of the side by sides and the dust they created on the access road was overwhelming. We probably won’t return to Ken’s Lake. As bicycle riders it once was a wonderful place to base many bike rides.

The reservable sites are completely exposed- no shelter from wind or sun; the campers while we were there were about 2/3 RV/van and 1/3 tent. The sites are well spaced apart, so the campground is relatively peaceful and quiet. The lake's day-traffic is generally not intrusive (fishing and kayaking while we were there). You can still hear some highway noise, although the area is away from the road.
The pit toilet was running out of TP by Sunday morning- be sure to bring your own just in case.

Ken's Lake campground is awesome. The views are great, the campsites are well laid out and tended nicely. There are picnic tables, parking, and a fire pit at each. Multiple bathrooms - easy to walk to, clean, smell fine etc. We will stay there again.
