I had site B06. I was happy with this site. Perfect for a single vehicle. There appears to be 3 campsites for each letter. I like that. My site was close to the restroom and drinkable water spout. We went tor a hike around lynx lake. There is a trail #305 to #311 near the site that takes you to the lake.
A total of 3miles mostly easy some parts moderate.
My friend had site B05 that could fit 4 cars. Had two tables and a Ramada. Prime site. windy at times. no service. Tmobile at site B05. limited service at B06 two bars tmobile. Trash receptable gets locked down at around 7pm. Kayak rentals at the lake are available.

We had the most amazing weekend at Lynx Campground celebrating my mom’s 50th birthday! The campground was clean, peaceful, and so well maintained. The lake was beautiful, and the scenery was incredible.

The campsite bathrooms were kept clean, and everything was easy to access. It was the perfect place for families with kids because there was so much room to explore while still feeling safe and quiet.

This weekend became one of our favorite family memories, and Lynx Campground was a huge part of that. We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate such a special milestone. We will absolutely be coming back!

We had two spaces reserved. When we arrived, both were clean, raked, and ready for us. The host was friendly and helpful, and the spacing between sites was fast enough that other campers didn't bother us and we didn't bother them. It's a great campsite.

The camp host called the police on my family and I all because the kids in our camp and two camps next to us were too loud. The sun was still up and they were playing football together. She went up and started yelling at the kids and when we told her to come talk to us and not go to minors, she said we were being aggressive and she was calling the police. The police came and were super nice about it and said we didn’t do anything wrong but it made me not want to do our annual camping trip here next year. We go to get the kids off of their screens and enjoying nature. Playing in the woods and not worrying about being quiet during the day is part of the experience. The last two years we didn’t as a group the host was fantastic. Not this year.
