Two of the three bathrooms were closed so the only toilets available were vault toilets. It would be helpful if the website was updated to show this information. Also, a map showing where the bathrooms are located within the campground would be helpful. The one way roads and loops make it difficult to find what you are looking for and signs are not clear in some instances. Otherwise, the campsites are clean and well maintained and the views are beautiful. The campground host was super friendly and helpful.

The campground was nice. The sites are not too close and very clean and not much beats the smell of pine trees. The lake was just a short walk down from the campsite and there are trails all around the lake.
We saw eagles soaring, wild turkeys and even a deer came through our campsite.
The only downside was we happen to pick one of the hottest days of the summer to go, but a breeze kept if doable. We will definitely return.

While the campsite was very clean, the hosts were great, the walk to the lake itself was easy, and the lake was beautiful, the campsites are closer to one another than I had expected, and there is absolutely NO shade over the campsites. We had to go buy a pop up shade tent to put over the table and considered a second for the tent. If there were trees to cover the table and where the tents go, this would have been an amazing place to stay!

Nice quiet campground right above the lake. They are well spaced so you don’t see your neighbors.

Nice, quiet campground only 2 miles outside of Prescott. I love the quad-arrangement of campsites which provide a lot of privacy among all of the campsites. The camp host was very friendly and came around daily to check in with us. The Sharlot Hall Museum was WONDERFUL, as well as visiting The Palace Saloon. Very fun town to visit. This is our 2nd time at Lynx Lake and we will be back.
