Nice spot just down the road From Prescott. Space was clean. Clean bathrooms too. Short hike to the lake. Will definitely go back.

We arrived Friday to our favorite camp site for a 5 day stay. Unfortunately Friday night my wife came down with a very high fever. Saturday morning we packed up and informed the camp host that we have an medical emergency and have to leave. We live 4 hours and the camp fees for the unused portion were already credited to our account.
We love coming to Lynx Lake Camp ground and every summer and have been for a number of years. Camp sites and bathroom are always clean. The camp host always friendly and helpful . Highly recommend

Although Lynx Lake is a busy spot, the campground was quiet and our site was private. Several great hikes start right out of the camp site. There was a little traffic in the campground - lookey-loos just driving through. Otherwise - just terrific. Very well maintained campground the the rules are enforced - especially quiet. The hosts do a great job in this campground. Beautiful spot.

The location was beautiful, and the campground was well-kept. The proximity to Lynx lake was excellent. Our campsite was absolutely tiny, but the facilities were in excellent shape. I have never encountered such nice or clean restrooms at a campground.

Campground was neat and clean. Bathroom was fairly clean, it was just cleaned but needed to be swept or hosed down as there was debris on the floor. No towels to dry hands. Overall it was very nice.
Trails to lake we're sketchy, but we found our way.

The sites are very large, with grown mature trees separating each site. Lots of privacy. The area is beautiful and the lake is nice for kayaking. Very clean. Camp hosts very helpful and polite. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful tent sites! Clean flush toilets. Very happy I stayed there. I was there late August 2021. Only regret is that I didn't have time to check out the lake or the trail around it.

Mike and Patrick are 2 volunteers who do one FANTASTIC job in keeping Lynx Lake Campground looking terrific. It's so clean, no trash and they are so friendly and professional. We love going here and really enjoy visiting with both of these volunteers who deserve to be recognized for their outstanding care of this campground. The Adams from Tucson.
