What Guests Are Saying

Ken's Lake offers repeat visitors a scenic camping experience, but this stay was marred by unpleasant restroom conditions. Reviewers noted a strong odor and inadequate cleanliness, including a lack of hand sanitizer. While previous visits were enjoyable, this particular experience fell short of expectations.

The site itself was fine. I'd say there's just enough room for 3 RV's. The pavilion definitely made the place bearable. There was no camp host which was interesting. I'm not sure how they make sure everything is running smoothly and clean. The garbage dumpster and pit toilets were completely full and smelly. Our guests camping in tents had to drive to town anytime they'd want to use the restroom which made it super inconvenient. I am not sure that this spot is worth the nightly fee.

I’ve stayed at Ken’s lake several times. This time, the restrooms made the stay unpleasant. The odor was terrible and blew into the camp sites. I’ve never had that before. The restrooms also didn’t have hand sanitizer nor were they cleaned regularly. It was disappointing.

This is a great location. It’s quiet and a little bit of a drive but worth it. The group site A is very large and we fit 5 trailers and 5 cars no problem. Our largest trailer was 27 ft. There’s plenty of parking at this site. The fire pit is a square so no one can fall in but it wasn’t very warm as it’s so deep. There’s a lot of picnic tables. More than we could use. The water fall hike is worth it. You access it by going into loop B or parking right out side of loop B. There’s a parking lot.

Our stay at Ken's Lake was lovely It was just me and my sister and we reserved the group site A for one night with our two horses. There were 3 pens provided that we were able to keep the horses in. we were provided a pavilion and a fire pit with some wood to start a fire. The site was a little pricey for only the two of us but the fact that we could take our horses camping made it all worth it! My only complaint would be that the equestrian trail was poorly groomed and not well marked so we were unable to continue on it for very long. we did end up riding our horses on the hiking trail to the waterfall. it was a bit difficult but it was so worth it! beautiful views all around! If you do plan on bringing your horses, please remember to bring LOTS of water! There is no water in the site and the lake had warnings for Blue Green Algae which is toxic to horses and dogs.
