The spaces were perfect and mostly of the road. Not excellent because there was no water to be used and no communication advising otherwise

The campground was fully booked and did not feel at all crowded. Our campsite was secluded, great walking trails and access to the lake!

We have been to Lynx campground several times and have always been very pleased with the campground. The site is clean upon arrival and the staff is very friendly and helpful in any way possible.
We have rated this campground 4 starts because there is no water, a situation that has been going on for months and will supposedly be fixed around Oct-Nov of this year. We really don't understand why a problem of water supply can take this long.

Had a great experience camping here it was so safe and bathrooms were kept spotless. I was at H-33 and loved that it was nestled away from a few of the other sites. The camp manager on my loop was very friendly and helpful! 10/10 recommend !

Campground is well maintained. The sites were even swept. Clean bathrooms every day. Hosts were friendly and checked in periodically.

1st time here in this campground, really very nice and clean! Unfortunately, there has been no water since May 2024 because of some sort of invisible maintenance. But just bring your own water and everything that you need for camping 🏕 like on a dispersed site. Forest service very, very friendly! There are multiple short trails down to the lake that are easily accessible. We were there for 2 nights 🌙 ✨️, no problem what so ever with wildlife, mosquitos, or loud neighbors. It's a perfect quiet spot 👌 But you have to reserve your spot. Otherwise, you can't stay overnight. There is no gate house or host where you could check in, and most likely also no internet service!
