Keen lake is the most cleanest friendliest family environment campsite you will ever find. Beautiful lake great fishing. Activities all day long for the children. Great general store that has everything in it that is open from sun up to sundown. The nachos and ice cream are the best. Super friendly staff. It's big they have tent sites right along the lake the lake is huge there's so much I could say but I would run out of room. I started coming here when I was four and I am now 46 years old and it is just the best place ever. It will always have a special place in our heart. Look forward every year to coming here no matter what age my kids are they all have a blast. From tent sites to RVs to cottages to glamping you name it they have it highly recommend it. Recently went camping to somewhere a little bit closer to home and it's nothing compared to here. It's like comparing Macy's to Walmart. You will never regret coming here. So pack your family up and have a great time.
RangerThis campground blew our minds. The amount of activities they had planned for all group ages was nothing short of amazing. From sun up until sun down…activities, activities, activities. The check in was quick and informative. They were really nice to us. The sites are a tad closer than you’d like, but it’s still a nice place. Our 1 dog has severe anxiety so we asked for a private spot or as private as could get. They really provided just that and she had a great experience as well. We appreciated that a lot.
GuideKeen Lake Campground, as it’s name implies, is an amazing campground situated along the shores of a lake. They have several sites with a water view. The sites are average in size. The site we had was a little tight to get into, but we had enough room to enjoy our site. The campground itself is a little hilly, but the sites were pretty level. We had full hookups.
The campground has a nice pool, a well stocked store with ice cream, toys, camping supplies, and basic groceries. Everyone in the store was extremely nice and helpful. You can also rent paddle boats and disc boats to paddle around the lake for a very reasonable cost.
RangerI try to not let the campers ruin a place for me, but I’d say 7 out of 10 sites near us were blasting music, yelling and screaming and just being pretty terrible humans. At one point during our stay staff did drive around and ask folks to lower the music, but as soon as they left it went right back to blaring. The music started again just after 5 am, at not just one site. We stayed on the other side of the lake, the Pioneer area, it was poorly marked and certainly did not have enough restroom facilities, as most of the sites were tents. The bathrooms they did have were pretty disgusting and not at all well maintained. The sites themselves were rather small and right on top of one another, our section was close enough to the road that we often heard trucks driving by. We wanted to love this place, it showed well online, had a good bit of amenities but was just not well kept and overrun with an overwhelming amount of inconsiderate campers. We ended up spending just one night, of our 2 night reservation and leaving first thing in the morning.
TravelerGreat amenities with excellent service!
TravelerWe enjoyed staying at Keen lake resort. Loved the lake and glamping.
GuideWell it's our 3rd time here in keen lake ' this time we had a better spot and view of the lake and campgrounds .

ScoutI would not recommend this campground. Please be aware that 148 -149 sites are located near a small pond and not an actual lake as shown on pictures. The area 148-153 sites is located right next to the Roosevelt highway and it makes it impossible to enjoy nature and silence due to the trucks and cars driving by it. It is a 10 min walk to the showers and restrooms. Camp sites are tiny, there are no dividers/trees/bushes between you and other camp sites. The reason why I am writing this review is the staff. When we came to the front desk asking if its possible to switch the sites, two women there were really rude and mean. With smirks on their faces they said that they are fully booked. However, site 152 ,for example , remained vacant the whole weekend. They also laughed at us when we mentioned how far the restrooms are- " you are camping"- they said. These women also didn't understand why we needed firewood at 9PM when we arrived and asked us to come back to get it the next day. After asking them 3 times, we got firewood. No delivery to the camp site was suggested. We ended up buying firewood closer to our "pond site" where firewood costs only 5$. There is a huge sign at keen lake campground office " do not buy firewood beyond this point". However, our "pond" was right after this sign and it was closer and cheaper to buy it there.
Also we were charged 25$ for " reserving " our site in advance. 2 women at the front desk were insisting we reserved it, however, we proved them that we didn't and 25$ were refunded. Be careful.
There is no security at the campground, anyone can drive in at any time. Beach was full during the day. Pool was overcrowded.
I would not leave this review if we didn't have to pay $ 269 for this camping experience ( min stay at "lake view" site was 3 nights, although we stayed 2 nights + they charge 10$ per tent per every night which is ridiculous) and if the staff was polite.
GuideWell a couple of weeks ago me an my wife plan a 2 day stay at knee lake it was beautiful and lots of fun plus it wasn't far from our home in pa .
ScoutWe had a great time despite cold wet weather. Our site was probably one of the worst in the place but we were able to scope out others that we would prefer for our next visit. We didn’t have a view of the lake, instead we were in someone’s back yard lol. It wasn’t a big deal. The site was well maintained and flat which were the most important. Most of the sites seem to be on the smaller size when compared to other campgrounds we’ve been too. That said we had plenty of space, it was just very close to the next site. We were on the far side of the lake which is not really within walking distance of the beach, pool and store. We knew this going in and were totally OK with it. I seemed less busy where we were as far as cars and people which is what we were looking for. We hopped in the car and drove the 2 mins to get to the beach. There was always parking. If you stay closer to those things it would be easy to walk & ride bikes to the different activities. The bathrooms were the cleanest we’ve ever experienced at a campground. *The showers are coin operated. The staff were so accommodating and everyone was super nice. There is a lot for younger kids to do and the grounds are pet friendly which was a huge plus for us. My kids really loved having a pool to swim in,in addition to the lake.
My take always:
Get a site on the lake.
You won’t have a ton of privacy but you’ll have space for your stuff.
If you don’t want to drive during your stay, camp on the side w/ the beach and pool.
The store has a huge selection of necessities, so no need to worry about forgetting things.
This is a great place to bring an RV.
Great for families. It would be a great place to camp with extended family.
Pet friendly. They have a beach for swimming with your dogs
Guidetent camping experience was great untill it down poured, but was worth it, rented row boats and hung out on the lake
ScoutI stayed on a lakeside electric/water site for 5 nights in August 2020. It was SO BEAUTIFUL. We had SUPs and kayaks to take on the lake and our sites were right next to the boat launch. Each day we would paddle over to the swimming area on the lake. It was awesome. The sites seemed a little narrow when we first pulled in, but it was plenty. The kids had fun riding bikes on the road, which was off the main road. The bugs were better than I would have anticipated next to the lake, although some days the flies were a bit annoying. The kids caught multiple sunnies and even a small perch. All in all, we had a great time and plan to go back next year.

Camped here on a Thursday night in late September. Only found one designated campsite, which was available, but there’s a lot of good space for dispersed camping right nearby. Access at the end of a long, but well maintained, dirt road. Campsite consists of a fire pit and picnic table. Some litter, not too bad. No toilets. Bugs aren’t an issue. Water access at a lovely nearby pond. Highly recommended. Only giving 4 stars because the best free sites have water pumps and vault toilets, but this is a great camping experience
TravelerThis was our first trip to Keen Lake as a family. We took advantage of their "Gas Saver" program, which got us 4 weekends, including Labor Day weekend. Some of the sites are on the smaller side. It's HUGE so having a vehicle is almost necessary to get around. Campground and bathrooms were clean and well kept. Saturday night activities/music was a big hit with the kids. Pool is small but clean. Lake front beach is open and clean, but more rock than sand. Lots of rentals for water sports. Overall a great experience.
TravelerToda una experiencia muy positiva
TravelerBeautiful forest with miles of trails. I found this spot passing through on my bike and had no problem pitching a tent in a secluded spot in the woods. There are official camp spots with water access which are also free to use. Highly recommend!
GuideI’ll start with our arrival: well marked with signs directing you to office for checkin. They were very organized in the office. When we got to our site the sewer pipe was buried and we didn’t know where it was, they sent someone out to our site within minutes. After finding it they determined the top flange was crushed but I could still get my drain in there so they let it wait till the next day. They had it fixed by 10 am. We were there over 4th of July so the pool was pretty full during the weekend so we decided to utilize the lake for those days and enjoyed the pool during the week once some of the weekenders left. All facilities were clean and in working order. Jones dale was a short drive and they had a nice community celebration capped off with a great fireworks show. Keen had a great live band one night and my step son enjoyed the crafts and organized activities. We had fun kayaking and paddle boating on the huge lake.
ScoutIs what the Boy Scouts said. Friendly staff & locals. Great Lake & lots of activities.
TravelerThe place is amazing. Perfect getaway and dog friendly. Definitely will come back
GuideThis is a great place for families. A lot to do and organized events. The lake is beautiful. If you have an RV, just beware that some of the sites are rather small and tight. Well kept. Staff is very friendly. You can have a quiet relaxing time or keep busy with activities.
TravelerI was directed to a site off the lake for tenting. We were secluded and it was nice. Bugs were bad, if you’re not a camper be prepared for weather and bugs. I was there a week and have to say they did a nice job. Wish the sites were a little bigger but I was able to seclude myself enough thanks to the store recommendations.
GuideThis family run Campground is beautiful and clean. The RV sites are spaced out nicely. There are plenty of things to do; paddle boats , row boats, swimming pool, snack bar/ campstore, activities, etc. Very beautiful area.
Scoutlove it here! clean bathrooms. friendly staff. great ice cream in the camp store. Wish they had electric motors for their boats. otherwise we love it!
TravelerThis place is perfect for families, beginners, adventurers, and fisherman alike. They have an overabundance amount of activities scheduled for campers. You are able to camp in tents in the activity field or lakeside. They offer rented cabins/houses and RVs. Their bath houses were clean. The rec room was cool. We rented a canoe out a couple times during our stay. Making reservations online was simple. Everyone working there was very friendly and helped in any way if needed.
RangerWe've been here many times over the years. Several times they've run a deal where you leave your trailer onsite free during the week if you stay multiple weekends. The people are all very friendly. My daughter loves boating and swimming in the lake and going to the arcade. It's very family oriented.
ScoutMy family has been going there for years and finally decided that this was our final place and made it our seasonal camp g place 3 years ago. My boys absolutely love it and always have something to do. They have activity coordinators that make sure there is something to do for all ages every hour of the day! The security is great and patrol to make sure quiet hours are quiet to be courtiers to other campers that want quiet time. The bath houses are constantly being cleaned and restocked. They have cabins, houses and trailers for rent also for ones that don't want to rough it but want to spent time at the lake. There is a lodge that can be used as a party or wedding event. This place is our getaway place that we are glad to go to every weekend and truly enjoy every getaway minute!
Guideawesome place, went on the canoes on the lake, pretty big place, worst part though was when i did go and camp out for a week near the small pond part it rained and our campsite turned into a complete mud pit
