Camping at Ken's Lake Campground near Moab

Public campground · Moab · 48 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The setting is a mix of 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 the Moab Rim at an elevation of about 5,085 feet expect freezing lows from October through March and highs commonly in the mid-90s to above 100°F from June through August. On-site amenities are basic: there is no drinking water and no electrical hookups, and a seasonal campground host is present in spring and fall to help with site allocation and trip planning.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (16,016 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
