Overall it was a decent experience. We have stayed here in the past and have always loved it. The Camp Host this time was not very attentive. We had reserved site 27F and we were not able to stay in this site because someone else was still in our site at time of check in. The other camper was not motivated to move out either. The Camp Host was never on duty as we drove around for 3 days at multiple times of the day. Instead of causing commotion, we decided to see if there was another available site we could book for 3 days. We found one and received some reimbursement for part of the money we were out, from recreation.gov. We were told the remainder had to be approved by the Camp Host and could take up to 3 weeks to receive. It took 3.5 weeks, but what do we expect from a Camp Host who can't properly manage when people should be leaving their site? When we were parking in our new spot, we found a maintenance person who communicated with another Camp Host, that we had no idea existed. No signage or anything. We told them we booked a new site, so we weren't concerned for us. We did however, walk by site 27F and the same people were there and the site showed that it was available on recreation.gov. Problems could have been avoided if the Camp Host would identify when people should be leaving and arriving. If campers won't vacate, then notify the authorities. We are hesitant to return to Lynx until there is a new Camp Host that is willing to do their job. We chose to go to White Spar Campground instead since then. There is a reason White Spar is always full and Lynx is not.

Restrooms near my campsite were closed. Fire pits at several camp sites were filled with previous campers fire residue.
All in all a lack of attention was evident.
Made me sad.

Our camp host Tim really made the days we spent at the campground really enjoyable. He was informative and helpful even during such a busy weekend. Clean and easily accessible facilities, we definitely will book again.
