The beautiful lake was drained . What a disappointment , we were not notified before our arrival. It seems the only way it will ever be filled is by snow melt .
The campsite itself was very nice.

We love this place! Out in the forest, but close enough to town in case you forget something while camping. We were in a double spot with our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughters, so we had a blast! We recommend visiting the Highlands Center for Natural History on Walker Road. Really fun metal insect sculptures and nature walks.

Great location, clean sites. Some are bigger than others, so be sure to check out the pics online before making a reservation.

Our site was very nice. Loop B, Site 4. Very clean and nicely spaced away from other campers. Wifi was non-existent.

Great campsite! 15D was more private than other campsites and right next to a trail that leads to Lynx Lake. Only downside is the lake nearby is half empty, but great walking path around it. Clean bathrooms, short drive into Prescott — recommend walking around Watson Lake!

This campground must be reserved on Recreation.gov which makes it very expensive due to the eight dollar reservation fee which has to be paid even for same day.
Not every loop has paid toilets which makes it a long way to walk to the toilet. The only set of flashing toilets were locked, a sign announced the arrival of Porta Potties “soon”. The only thing that actually worked with the water taps.
Apparently there are showers and flushing toilets at Lynx Lake which is not accessible from the campground and requires a separate entry fee.
I will not go back to this campground. Unfortunately around Prescott there are very little camping options and the dispersed camping nearby is all taking up by people who seem to be living there permanently.
