The host was nice. The campground was clean and well maintained. The pit toilets were new and clean. There were plenty of trees for shade. The fishing was great. Easy to get to from I-15. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on a leash. Didn't love that it was on a steep hill, so it was harder to find a flat spot for a tent. But the parking and fire pit / table area were flat. They don't allow atv's unless they are street legal. So we couldn't bring our 4 wheeler. But overall, it is a nice place to tent or trailer camp.
This will be a regular spot where we're going to be camping. The fishing is great and our dog loved it.
The STARTS AT NIGHT!!!! Solo/Family/Group friendly. Quiet. Clean. Beautiful area! Loads of wild life. Not many flies. Didn't see one mouse. Deer walked through our camp in light and dark. Awesome drinking water! Beautiful views. Lakes above and below (more campgrounds also). Shade is not hard to come by. Dirt road. We took our dogs, they loved it! Cool sounds affects in the "valley". Tons of birds. Loved our three nights! No showers. No flushing toilets. No trash cans or dumping. Dumpster at the bottom of canyon. Fire wood all over *they cut a bunch of trees down. 6/2018, grab some on the way up, the burnt wood lasted a long time. ♿ Acceptable. Trailer and tent sites. Group site also. On my top list of favorite camp grounds!
Kents Lake is a beautiful campground. The weather was unseasonably warm, but still better than the 100+ degrees the rest of the state was having. We were at site number 10 which has a large stretch on the water. I noticed many other sites had very little flat areas for a tent. The campground was well maintained and the host Mike was very nice. The lake had some sort of algae bloom so the water was really gross, but we tried fishing none the less. The vault bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Many of the sites have very little shade, so you will want a pop up shelter if possible. I gave it 4 stars because of minimal level ground and reduced shade, but I would recommend this to any friend.
I stayed at camp site 17, by the lake and next to the bathrooms. No showers and a compost toilet which I knew. The bathroom was very clean. The camp host was easy to work with, as we arrived late and didn’t check in till our second night. The lake is spectacular to look at, and all around it was a quiet campsite. The chipmunks are adorable to watch too!
