We really enjoyed our stay at Lynx Campground site #D19. The double campsite worked well for our two 20ft. camper vans. The ramada with two picnic tables was also very handy. It kept the sun off of us during the afternoon. We enjoyed hiking down and around the lake in the late afternoon, and in the morning we ate breakfast at Lynx Cafe. All in all it was a very good experience.

Tent pad was clean, bathrooms were acceptable and there was running water. The only downside this trip was a set of fellow campers a few pads down that had loud music and partying at 1-2am, but this was only for one night. The ranger was very courteous and helpful. I would recommend Lynx Lake for both new and experienced campers.

I love this campground but unfortunately was waken up in the middle of the night both nights due to people yelling and cussing. Not the campgrounds fault but took some of the experience away with obnoxious visitors/campers :(
