Ken's Lake Campground

About

Ken's Lake Campground sits within the Ken's Lake Recreation Area, a BLM-managed site featuring a man-made reservoir, day use area with boat ramp, and over 3 miles of hiking and equestrian trails. The campground is surrounded by red rock fins to the east, sagebrush flats to the south and west, and the reservoir to the north, with distant views of the La Sal Mountains and Moab Rim. The campground consists of two loops with distinct characteristics. Loop A has no vegetation for shade and is popular with visitors bringing large motorhomes and trailers; it operates by reservation only through Recreation.gov during the open season. Loop B remains open year-round and features smaller sites with juniper and cottonwood trees providing shade and privacy, available first-come, first-served. Each campsite includes a gravel parking pad for two vehicles, a picnic table, and a fire ring with proximity to vault toilets and trash receptacles. Campers should bring their own drinking water as none is available on-site. The south end of the Steel Bender Jeep Safari Route runs adjacent to the campground, making it popular with OHV users. Summer temperatures can exceed 100°F while winter lows drop below freezing.

Directions

From Moab, drive south on Highway 191 approximately 8 miles until you see signs for Ken's Lake. Turn left off the highway and follow signs to the lake. The campground is just beyond the turn to the lake. Loop A is in the first campground loop and Loop B is the second loop.
