We had a great time tent camping for two weeks. The campground is clean and well maintained. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was they were clearing brush around our campsite the whole two weeks we were there. I get they do this for wild fires but it made for a dusty mess at the camp sight and was so loud during the day it was hard to relax. My thoughts were, they should have done this before opening up the campground, as not to disturb everyone, even if it meant opening up a couple weeks later in the season. We will be going back in September and hope all the clearing is done.

the restroom situation needs to be rectified. E loop restroom is closed. The toilets at the next closest restroom has very poor water flow.

Terrific time of year to camp. Cool evenings and mornings and warm afternoons with cooling breezes. Lake was at high water. They were doing fire mitigation cleanup at the time with noisy and dusty machines. But, it has to be done sometime and weekdays when there are less people is the best time. Being retired allows us to camp weekdays and avoid the weekend crowds. Campground was not full but busy.

My wife and I have been camping at Lynx 5 times. 2 times at loop c / 12. It's a GREAT SPOT. The fire pit needs to be fixed. The rain has washed out the dirt under the concrete slab and needs to be releveled. If you need something from a store AMPM / WALMART are just 10 minutes away. Going back in October. See ya 😁
