Why Camp Here

Ken's Lake gives you the La Sals over a small reservoir ten miles south of Moab, which is a different feel from the red rock sites along the river. The camp splits into two loops. Loop A is the reservable one and takes big trailers, while Loop B is first come and tight enough that turning a long rig around gets awkward. Haul your own water, since there is none here, and no power either.

Tip: Cheaper and calmer than anything in town during peak season.
