I've been camping here every year since the early 90s. I love the campsite and will continue to camp here for years to come.

Our campsite was exposed, unfortunately, so we had alot of wind that night, which was gusting and was apparently unusual for the season. We had chosen a campsite that we thought was shielded by trees because many of the other campsites have several steps to and from your car to the campsite itself. Anyway, our tent held up in the gusts. Forecasts for the next 2 nights were temps in the mid-20s, which was too cold for us. We liked Lynx Lake and enjoyed our hike there, but we probably will not return to the campground.

Lucked out and got a REALLY nice spot pretty out of the way from other people; one very close RV spot (but they were very much quiet and kept to themselves), good location for tents and a campfire. Really good walk from loop 3 out to the lake and around. Highly recommend this one, get as Southeast as possible at this site would be my recommendation!

Great Campground. Spot 27F is one of the best spots. We had no problem with our 20 ft travel trailer, but anything longer would be tight.

Campground Host was very friendly and helpful. He worked hard at keeping our bathroom clean. However, I was shocked to see so many no shows to reserved sites, yet the hosts were not allowed to give the no show site to someone else. I hope you will review the policy.

We love Lynx Campground. Our favorite site is easy for us to back our fifth wheel into and is very private. Hosts are friendly and helpful. We’re going to give it another try soon. It fills up fast so be sure you have reservations
