I will definitely stay at Lynx again. Groomed campsite, good privacy, easy walk to the lake, and got to watch eagles fishing. Also, very polite campers. It's a great place.

Beautiful view of the lake, although extremely low. We did see a mating pair of bald eagles. Be sure to confirm whether or not the forest is closed and whether or not a fire is an option at your campground.

Great location just outside of town. We had a blast and the blue Gill but was great for the kids.

Stayed at 12C and 11C.
Lynx Campground is great place to camp, its very clean with multiple trials and lake that is less than 10 minutes from the campground.
Host (s) were very nice and helpful - they did worn us about storm/hail that was going to happen that day.
If you forgot something, you can drive back to town that is 10-15min away.
Toilets were ok - but as with the most camping sites they smell bad so you may want to pick your spot away from them.
If you need cellphone signal you may be out of luck - T-Mobile has almost 0 (zero) bars/reception.
12C is perfect place for a single tent - its probably one of the best spots as there is shade + lake/trails are just behind.
11C is just in the middle next to 10C so great spot if you are coming with multiple people.
I am giving 4 stars only because there is no 4.8 option :). Toilet is somewhat close and depending on the wind, you can smell it. Otherwise its great place to camp.

We've always liked this campground and the host was very good. Unfortunately, our lab got sick and we had to leave on our second day of our reservation. She has since passed away.
