Spacious and clean, each site has it’s own fire pit and picnic table. No shade or running water. Vault toilets were also clean. Nice view by the lake and cool breeze off the water. The annoying part would be the ATVs and generators. But if you’re into that, this is your place to camp. Thankfully we were only there for one night

Went there last weekend. Decent campground. The Ken's lake nearby is easily accessible. The faux falls hike is a must if you camp here. Only downside for me was there was no water fill stations on the campground but overall a very good campground.

Knocked off one star because the entrance road was in such terrible shape. There was a road crew working on that. This was a very peaceful campground with a lovely view. Convenient to Arches and Canyonlands. We visited both from this jumping off point. The Moab area is slightly 'rowdy' with all the off roaders or whatever they are called but the reservable spots loop was really quiet while we... Knocked off one star because the entrance road was in such terrible shape. There was a road crew working on that. This was a very peaceful campground with a lovely view. Convenient to Arches and Canyonlands. We visited both from this jumping off point. The Moab area is slightly 'rowdy' with all the off roaders or whatever they are called but the reservable spots loop was really quiet while we were there. Generators allowed until 8PM. We were in site 6 and it was a little weird.. we had to park our truck next to the trailer. 20 ft trailer, much bigger and we would not have fit. It was a wide spot though. Perfect for our needs but no frills at all. We only used the bathroom in our TT so no idea if it was clean or not.

Nice campground near the lake. Very quiet at night. Spots are very well spaced out. Each spot has a table and fire pit which is nice. They have vault toilets which I never used so I can’t tell you anything about those. But the campground itself is very clean and also has dumpsters throughout the park.
