Great campsites, well maintained and fully paved. Great views of the lake, trees, and the night sky. Quiet, despite being close to other campsites. There is plenty of space to roam around and a nice paved walk around the lake is a great start or end to the day.

It would be very nice if they could get all the restrooms working. Also, I believe their water is contaminated; It tasted very chemical-like. Otherwise, a very nice campground!

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.

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!

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
