Overview

About This Campground

Ken's Lake Campground sits near Arches National Park and uses two distinct loops. Loop A accepts large motorhomes and trailers but has no hookups or shade, while Loop B offers smaller sites with some tree cover. Water is not provided on-site—bring your own—and vault toilets serve the facilities. Fire rings are available, and firewood gathering is prohibited; expect a 10pm–6am quiet window with trails from the campground to Faux Falls and Ken's Lake.

The Setup

Arrival lands you into a gravel lot with two-vehicle pads per site; Loop A is designed for large rigs, Loop B tighter and less forgiving. Internal roads are gravel; plan for minimal shade in Loop A and have leveling blocks ready if needed. Generator use is allowed 8am–8pm; expect limited water access and prepare accordingly.

The Vibe

This is a practical basecamp near Arches, not a forest retreat. Expect open desert with easy lake access, while privacy is modest and shade is scarce in Loop A.

Bath & Laundry

No on-site showers; coin-operated showers are available at a nearby rustic camp store; showers and laundry facilities are off-site.
