Lynx Lake is a fantastic camping spot! The sites are always clean when we get there and the bathrooms are clean too. Although the pipes are still needing to be fixed fully, all in all, it's great. The lake is so fun to be at and the hiking is great too!

Excellent camping ground. Very close proximity to Prescott Valley and down town Prescott. The lake was beautiful. We were given parking passes for parking at the lake since we had a campsite. We were greeting by staff and provided a map of the trails and provided answers to our questions. This site was the closest to the restrooms and water. It’s was very clean and we felt safe and enjoyed our two night stay. We aren’t the best at outdoor camping, we would definitely recommend if you are new to camping. We would also stay again and recommend to friends and family.

Great campsite, the Ramada is worth the extra cost. Helpful and friendly host. Nice walk to the Lake. We go every year. Thumbs up!

It was gorgeous! Our camp hostess Lynn, made every day amazing with all her help! We have visited weekly for overnights at different sites trying to find our favourite, and every site is better than the last! Every site is clean and Lynn is always around to help our with anything from day passes to lake to the weather! The washrooms were in fantastic order as clean and non smelling as a camping washroom could be. I was truly impressed! Lynx Lake is my new home away from home!

The camp ground I was at smelled like actually sewage and shit like half the time and it was infested with flys. Worst campsites I’ve ever been to

There were some individuals across the site who were screaming profanities, Screaming the F word and being obnoxious and loud late into the night.
Neither I nor my children could sleep. Is there a camp host who or someone on site who is supposed to take care of these issues?

The campground was clean and well maintained. The walking and biking trails were well marked and fairly easy to navigate. The hostesss was nice and came by to let us know about recent animal sightings (momma and baby bears and a mountain lion) that we should be aware of. The bathrooms were clean and as good as expected for summer. The water onsite was a lifesaver! It was clean enough to drink and cold right out of the pipe. We ended up only staying 1 night because of the heat. But we're glad we got to see Lynx Lake and will keep it in mind for future trips.
