About Ken's Lake Campground
ATTENTION:
Loop A campsites are available by reservation only through Recreation.gov. Reservations can be made the day of, up to 6 months in advance from anywhere service is available. This is the only option, cash and check payments are NOT available onsite. There is cell service for most providers at the campground entrance.
Loop B campsites are available first-come, first serve only. Payments can be made by cash, check, or scan and pay through the Recreation.gov mobile app.
Please contact the BLM Moab Field Office with questions by email: [email protected] or phone: 435-259-2100.
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.

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.

Didn't get in until late in the evening. Had been traveling 20 hours by that point, set up camp, and ready to get dinner going when we found out the closest water source was back like 20 minutes drive from where just came from. That would have been nice to know earlier...there was zero indication this was the case in any email or on the web page about the campground. The only indication is that is no water or electric hookups....that's a far cry saying there is not any water available along with instructions on where to fill up.
So next, the campground map sends you to a location with seemingly a water fountain to supply water. Would have been better to know there is a nice spring coming out from a rock located 100 yards further along Rt 128. Finally, the campsite is located on a reservoir...and they can't provide water?! A classic SMH at government inefficiencies.
Otherwise enjoyed our two nights although the winds never relented and it was cold, rainy and even snowy in mid-April. I did not fully prep the kids for that weather..but that was user error. The La Sal loop road to Castle Valley and Negro Bill's Canyon was a spectacular drive. Faux falls was nice local stop as well. Views from our campsite were amazing. Enjoy a lot out on Potash and Kane Creek Rds...but was glad to spend our final night camping in Moab on the Colorado River.

Loop A is very windy most afternoons. The view from the site is beautiful. Pit toilet was clean, no available water is one down side of the camp ground. Nice hiking trails around the lake.
