We had a great weekend at Lynx Lake Campground. We stayed in G loop and our camp host was incredible. Cannot say enough great things about Lynn. She is so friendly and helpful. She gave us lots of information. We hiked down to the lake with our two kids and kayak and easily made it there and back. Great time, great memories. Bathrooms and campsites were very clean. Entire grounds are extremely well kept. We will be returning! Side note, there is a Costco as well as a gas station about 2.5 miles from the campground (very helpful if needed).

Host was very pleasant.
The campground has various loops with about three camp sites in each one; one being a double site, so bigger and has covered picnic table. All dites with ring and rack for campsite fire.
Parking for vehicles is a bit tight with a trailer and truck.
Loop G is walking distance to launching kayak/paddle at the lake. I walked with my SUP.
The campground is beautiful with tall trees , roads are paved and bathrooms are clean.
The lake has a cafe with limited hours.
I really enjoyed my stay.

Pretty sites, just a short hike to the lake or a short ride to the trail. Lynn and Rich were fabulous camp hosts! Pit toilets were very clean for our visit, and there was hardly any trash on the ground at the campsites. Would return 10/10.

Amazing place! Simply gorgeous scenery and so peaceful!! Easy access to the lake and minutes from town. Best of both worlds. Bad cell reception however.

Campground was very clean and quiet. Sites are pretty private, we were in #22. The only problem had nothing to do with the hosts, they were very kind and helpful, but the water system was under repair so the flush toilet bathrooms were closed. They provided chemical outhouses that were well maintained.
