The site for setting up our tents (2) was fantastic! It was a large area, level, and covered in small size granite gravel. Parking was adequate for a vehicle and tent trailer. The walk to the lake through the woods is short.

This was the first time car camping in 20 years and Lynx Lake Campground did not disappoint. While the weather was a bit warmer in the day than we would have wanted it to be, our site was close to the water pump, an a invigorating walk to the restroom and had great afternoon shade to read a book under. Camp Host Mike was terrific. He welcomed us within minutes of our arrival, was knowledgeable about the area and visited everyday with a biscuit for our dog. The hike to the lake and paved path around the lake was a highlight for some much needed exercise. If you are looking for a no fuss, clean and quiet escape, consider Lynx Lake Campground in Prescott, AZ.

The campsite is one which we have used on many occasions. It is always clean and well tended. There are bathrooms and a fresh water pump within walking distance. The people who operate the campgrounds are very friendly and check on us shortly after arriving. Lynx Campground is far enough away to feel secluded and natural, yet it is actually just 2 miles from the main highway. The lake and the Lynx Lake Cafe (open Thursday through Sunday) are a short scenic walk from the campsite. It is definitely worth the price of 28 dollars for the site, especially considering the beautiful surroundings and the convenient location. An added bonus is the 20 degrees less of heat if you are coming up from the Phoenix Valley during the summer months.
