The camp hosts were great and we love the campground—it’s clean, quiet, the sites are well spaced, and there are several trails running through it. Only downside is how low Lynx Lake is. We read that it would be low, but it’s barely a lake now, more of a pond. It was sad to see.

This was my first time staying at Lynx campground, and I was more than pleased with the experience. The camp host was very friendly and welcoming, and the campground itself was very well maintained. This will be my go-to place when I visit Prescott!!

We camped in the G loop, site 29. FABULOUS! It's a great site with ample shade during the afternoon. Short walk to the restrooms. Lots of trails around and the camp hosts did an EXCELLENT job keep everything stocked and clean! We absolutely will stay here again! The lake was drained pretty low for maintenance and that was a little disappointing but the site easy driving from other lakes, so still were able to kayak. Also was nice to drive just a few miles down the road and grab a Costco pizza one night when we didn't feel like cooking. Crazy, you would never guess you were that close to town!

Camping was great, was a little disappointed on how low the lake was. I read the water was low but the level was beyond low. I wish they would post images that showed the lake as it is.

We have been going to Lynx for years and are never disapppointed. So sad the lake is low due to the dam work but still such a lovely place. The camp host was friendly and keeps the grounds and the restrooms clean@

We stayed one night at Lynx Lake and it was a great experience for us. The beautiful nature with pine trees, rain and great weather was wonderful. Walking by the lake was very relaxing. I recommend everyone to come to this area for rest and refreshment.

Lake is low but still pretty. Campground is very well kept and our site was excellent. No shade on this campsite during the day, but otherwise perfect.
