The camp hosts were nice and helpful. The campsites are different than most with many sites having steps that are a problem for the average age of the visitors.

We've camped at Lynx Lake on 5 times this year and we really love the camping. We now have 2 kayaks we use for fishing at Lynx and nearby Watson lake. The campground is in the tall pines, sites are really well kept. Bathrooms are clean and there's water for filling containers and you do have cell service. Host stops by to check you in and ask him for a parking pass for the lake it's free with campsite. Lynx has a good walking trail around the lake. Dogs are welcomed but require leash. We just love getting out of the heat and going camping at Lynx lake.

The camp host was very helpful when I needed to change camp sites. He went out of his way to assist me including contacting Rec.gov to make the necessary changes. The camp itself was well maintained, clean and pleasant.

They don't have the cash in the envelope option, so you have to use cellular to make your reservation. That was a bit touch and go, but we did finally get it to work.
The area is a short drive from Prescott, and you hardly know there is a city of Prescott size nearby. Many of the sites were on a wide spot in a small cul-de-sac road, with a restroom in the middle. The restrooms are only cleaned 3 days a week, according to the sign, but they were clean enough. The tables at the site were generally clean, but I did feel the need to wipe them down.

Due to the last minute reservation we made, we were in Loop H #34. The site was clean but it was close to the road. Be careful of steps leading down to the site, there is erosion that leaves ledges that you can twist an ankle on. There are bathrooms with plumbing in the campground and the lake was fun to walk down to. There was a blue heron on the day were down at the lake. Its an easy to reach campground with all the comforts of civilization right down the road
