About Kents Lake Campground

Kents Lake Campground sits at high elevation in Fishlake National Forest, 30 miles east of Beaver. The Forest Service operates this small alpine campground beside a 50-acre trout lake, where campers fish from shore or boat, watch for wildlife at dawn and dusk, and enjoy cool summer nights. Sites accommodate tents, RVs, and groups, with vault toilets, potable water, and a camp host on-site.

Kents Lake Campground offers several types of camping accommodations, including single-family and multi-family campsites, with options for tents and trailers. It is well-suited for primitive camping but lacks RV hookups.

Elevation8800 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a basin ringed by aspen groves and mixed conifers. Kents Lake fills the center of the bowl, reflecting ridges and sky when the wind drops. Aspens dominate the understory, turning gold in late September. Meadows open up beyond the tree line in spots. Elevation keeps the air cool and the vegetation alpine: lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir. Wildlife shows up reliably. Deer move through camp mornings and evenings. Elk bugle in early fall. Reviews mention moose near the lake and occasional black bear sightings. Wild turkeys and mountain goats inhabit the broader forest.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo lodging or hotel-style accommodations are available at Kents Lake Campground.
