Nice spot with well developed, spread-out campsites and attentive hosts. Recurrent issue with plumbing had closed nearest bathroom. Two other available bathrooms were a considerable walk from our campsite.

We were there during the week so had no experience with the camp host or store. Stayed in Loop D. Very nice. Trail to the lake. Definitely would come back.

Wonderful rustic campground. What I liked:
1. Lots of space between sites with trees and privacy
2. Each site was raked, clean and organized. Well kept.
3. The host came by (Lynn) and was extremely welcoming and helpful, really wonderful host.
4.Great location for access to lake down the road.
What I did not like so much:
1. Signs and sites were a bit difficult to find. Site 5 was a ghost site, and loop B was very tricky. At night almost impossible. Better signs would help alot.

Campground very clean. Grounds volunteer was very helpful. Lake was further away and trails not easily marked. Would return to this camp ground.

We had a great time camping at Lynx lake, The campgrounds are very clean and well cared for. The lake is beautiful too and is very close to the campsites. We will definitely be going back again.

Clean campground with lots of things nearby and good space between sites. It doesn't feel like you're close to the city.

Always a delightful place to enjoy Prescott from. Sites are very well spaced and the lake trail is classic. This trip was not 100% for a couple factors. The bathroom closest to us was closed, causing a longer walk to a bathroom and said bathroom had mostly clogged toilet and a sign that said to "not flush tp" and to put it in the trash bag- this is kinda gross knowing that fecal remnants were just out in the open and I had to cross over those to toss my tp in the bag. Seems like a bad separation of poop and people- as a Pro Guide, we strive specifically to retain this barrier to prevent all kinds of gross stuff... 2nd item was there was no Host to be found to purchase firewood on both a Fri and Sat on a busy weekend. There may have been 1 in G loop, but the walk all the way to where they may be to sell me wood was honestly longer than I was willing to venture to then haul the wood back to my truck. We will be back and hoping for a slightly better experience.

Host was accommodating, Site was clean. However, the lights in the bathrooms not working, only two lights working on the table area cover.
