Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources.
Dispersed camping is generally allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. Camping limitation rules vary per office, please check with your local office for details on camping limitations. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska).
Campsite Selection Dispersed camp sites are located along most secondary roads and may not be marked. Popular locations can be recognized by the telltale flat disturbed area that has been used as a camp site before. Not all flat spots are sites. If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances. To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area.
ATTENTION: Loop A campsites are available by reservation only through Recreation.gov. Reservations can be made the day of, up to 6 months in advance from anywhere service is available. This is the only option, cash and check payments are NOT available onsite. There is cell service for most providers at the campground entrance. Loop B campsites are available first-come, first serve only. Payments can be made by cash, check, or scan and pay through the Recreation.gov mobile app. Please contact the BLM Moab Field Office with questions by email: blm_ut_mb_mail@blm.gov or phone: 435-259-2100. Ken's Lake Campground is a part of the Ken's Lake Recreation Area. The area includes Ken's Lake, a man made reservoir (electric motors only - gas powered engines are prohibited), day use area with a gravel boat ramp, campground, and hiking/equestrian trails. Construction of the reservoir was part of the Mill Creek Project, completed in 1981, which also included a pressurized irrigation water delivery system. In 2000, the site was constructed into a campground and day use area for visitors to enjoy the surrounding recreational activities and scenic vistas. Located 10 miles south of Moab, Ken's Lake is surrounded by red rock fins to the east, sage brush flats to the south and west, and a reservoir to the north. Distant views from the campground also include the La Sal Mountains and red rock Moab Rim. This site is located at 5,085 feet elevation, similar to Moab. Be prepared October to March for lows below freezing and from June to August highs from 95 to above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This campground is comprised of loops A and B. Loop A has no vegetation providing shade and is closed during low use season (summer and winter; exact dates vary each year). Loop B stays open year round and has a variety of sites with juniper and cottonwood trees providing shade and privacy. Loop A is popular with visitors that have large motorhomes and trailers. Loop B has smaller sites and it is difficult for large motorhomes and trailers to turn-around. The south end of the Steel Bender Jeep Safari Route runs next to the campground, so Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) users are also drawn to this area. Other popular activities originating from the campground or day use area include: hiking, horseback riding, fishing, and non-motorized boating. There are over 3 miles of trails in the lake vicinity with views of the Moab Valley, Faux Falls, La Sal Mountains, and Ken's Lake.
The town of Moab is a hub for recreation. Tour operators offer guided hikes, rentals and evening entertainment. The area abounds with trails, dirt roads and canyons waiting to be explored.
A few miles east of the campground, Mill Creek flows out of the La Sal Mountains. Water from this creek has been diverted to flow along a creek on the north side of the campground and is captured at Ken's Lake Reservoir. Along the diverted creek's path is Faux Falls. From the campground, visitors can hike or ride horseback on a trail to the falls or directly to the lake.
Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and Hovenweep and Natural Bridges National Monuments are nearby. Also in the area are the Manti-La Sal National Forest and the La Sal Mountain Loop Road, which provide interesting exploration opportunities and cooler temperatures during the summer months.

Stayed 6/1-4 in space 9. Very shady campground and campsite. Creek runs thru but not by this site. Only 1 vault toilet for the family campground, so walked over to Group site toilets which were cleaner. One trail out of camp to Rock Canyon but it was fairly steep and rocky so didn't do much of it. Did walk up and down paved road into camp and then on dirt roads off main road that had a few FCFS dry camp pull out areas along the creek. Campsites well spaced many with good views of valley or the red rock cliffs. No ATVs allowed in campground. Spaces 15 and 20 were also good, 10 is double size but same price with large drive and nice views to red cliffs. Camp host unobtrusive.
Would be great during fall colors. Saw some bear scat on trail closer to I-70
Ranger
Dirt road in, off the hwy, was a bit rutted, but we made it okay in van. Took our chances on a FCFS spot, #8 which looked fairly level but was not. There were 2 bathrooms we saw and the site was mostly equidistant from both, and a bit of distance away. Beautiful canyon with walls rising up both sides but were just passing thru so didn't get to see much and didn't stay but basically overnight. Seems like some interesting pull out boon-docking sites on way in but bathroom in day use parking was locked in the am when we left.
Scout
Make sure you bring plenty of water and are fueled up. The sign for the geodes is off to the right after you go over the pass!
LegendForested campsites in a narrow canyon. Busy on weekends. Got the last first served sit at 3pm Friday. Sites next to the main road. Traffic peering into the campsite. Young fit crowd. Weak cell reception.
Scout
Oak Creek is my go-to campground, whether I'm with family or solo. It's nestled in Boulder Mountain and can be easy to overlook if you're not paying attention. Experience Unblocked Games 76 right now!
GuideStumbled upon this small campground. 6 sites around a grassy area. Oak, maple and cottonwoods and a creek. 4 group sites and 13 more sites up canyon past group sites, some along the creek. Water, pit and flush toilets, no garbage. There was a trailer in site #1 but didn’t see anyone. Beautiful full moon rise over canyon! Quiet and peaceful but a surprising amount of traffic on the gravel road up the canyon past campground. There are more camping spots up the road. Plantation Flat is a primitive campground in a pine forest. It was full of OHV campers. Looked like they were there for awhile.
Traveler
Perfect place to stop for the night. Road is fine. A few ruts. Super quiet.
Traveler
This is in the back of the Loves Travel Center. It has 2 super nice dog parks that are fenced in.
It is loud since it’s in a gas station parking lot. Back in site only. All cement pads no sitting areas or places to be outside. Kind of weird cause people can just walk through and use the dog park around your RV.
People park in the RV spots. Not a secured location. Stopped here to sleep on our drive home. Left before dark.
No RV park showers or laundry facilities. Pay extra for the Truck stop showers (did not use)
ScoutWe pulled in after sunset to stop before going all the way north to SLC. The road was pretty doable in our truck, but it think it would be easy in a sedan too. There was a roundabout at the coordinates and another van was there, but there looked to be 3-4 more small spots for tents or vans. Not sure how many could accommodate a bigger rig. Lots of bugs, none biting. About a 7-10 min drive to the freeway. No freeway noise though. Some broken glass and trash, but nothing unexpected.
Guide
Beautiful area and the kids loved being able to play in the park. Beautiful stars at night. Conveniently located near The Arches National Park
Traveler
Beautiful scenery and just right outside of town. Very easy to access for most. I did see an RV camping but it had to be a bit more difficult for them. There are several established places to camp with beautiful views. Very private. Great for mountain biking
TravelerThis wasn't where we planned to camp but got too tired to drive any further. We are in a Toyota Camry and just hammocking. This spot worked out nicely. There was someone in the actual place of the coordinates. But we found a spot near by.
TravelerOpen area looks like local party spot, not for RVs. Lots of spots to pitch a tent, established fire pits. Not far off the main road. Road goes up past water tower and recommends using 4wd to come up to prevent washboard, but any vehicle with awe would do. No amenities and very private.
GuideBeautiful view! Several fire pits, some with wood left by the rangers. Well maintained and quiet on this chilly night.
Scout
We absolutely thought this park was well maintained, super clean and easy check in! Although a nicer dog area would be awesome we still would stay again
Traveler
We were looking for an easy place away from the interstate to split our drive from Idaho to St George in half. There was no one here at all and found easy place with a tree to set up 26ft tt. Let the dog roam free around meadow. Further up are more sites but gets sandier and tighter
Scout
We didn’t camp overnight but we did visit the hot springs. Plan to have a self contained bathroom if you camp because there are no restrooms provided and little to no cover or privacy. Road is pretty bumpy!
Scout
We came here to test out our new teardrop we bought from SLC. We wanted the electric hookup. We arrived during a snow storm, off season camping was first come first serve. We used the QR code to check in and pay. We were the only ones on the campground, so we took the campsite closest to the lake and the vault toilets (flush toilets were closed). The lake was beautiful and the campground was maintained nicely.
GuideThe owner of this property has graciously allowed people to stay here for free. Please leave with more trash than you came with.
Hot Spring was a little walk, but perfect.
Scout
Nice long spaces. Very quiet, and still dark enough at night to see the stars. Best campground in the area.
GuideWidely dispersed sites. Beauty in all directions. Very quite. Great spot.
Scout
The view would distract anyone one who was traveling on the dirt road and when you get to the campsites it was so amazing to see how many people was up there and how much fun they where having. the campsite we chosen was perfect for out big tent. the camp ground had place you could go hiking and do a lot of exploring as well.
each campsite had running water and had a gate that you had to open and close which i thought was pretty neat.
the bathrooms where nice as well even though they didn't flush they where nice and didn't have that smell that some of them do. The water was nice and cold which made washing your face exhilarating to start my morning.
at night the stars where so beautiful while sitting around the campfire and being together while roasting marsh mellows.
I have to admit it was one of the best camping trips I have ever had with my family.
Guide
Camped on the Western opening of Marjum Canyon. Drove through the canyon a few times. Dispersed camping and small pull-offs all throughout.
Photos are of the Western slope pouring out of the canyon. As you exit the Canyon heading West, there are pull offs on both sides of the dirt road. Some areas may need high clearance vehicles to get over. There are small pull offs and dirt roads that low clearance vehicles can go over.
Most surrounding land is BLM land.

We loved how quiet fishlake was. We camped on a rim that looked out for miles. Nice break from being near bryce. Only thing you hear is the cows lol
TravelerSmall campground with 10 sites circling a grassy lawn and 10 sites scattered upstream along the canyon with maple, oak, and cottonwood all turning colors in October. Water turns off October 2nd and campground closed for the season oct15th.
Guide
The reservoir had good fishing; we caught a couple tiger trout. We camped in early October and the algae was extreme.
The road out is dirt, but maintained. There wasn’t any signage with notices. There are plenty of camp sites with pavilions, picnic tables, and fire rings. The sites are mostly exposed and many don’t have even ground to park and level a trailer. There were a couple gem spots, but these were taken when we arrived. It wasn’t busy.
TravelerThis was a nice place to stop. Not far off the main roadway. Lots of shade. Open fields, so watch out for cows and cowpoo! I would camp here again. There was one other camper and it was very quiet.
