Hiking and the lake is RIGHT there. Was about a 7 min hike to the lake. Saw more wildlife at this campsite then any other. Snake, wild pig, skunk. A couple coyotes were howling in the middle of the night. Lynx lake was great

It was our first camping trip at the Lynx Lake. There are group family of 5 of us and we had a great time. It was chilly evening when we went but it was a priceless moment with the family.

Our camp site was immaculate. There was plenty of space for our 28’ motor home and a pickup truck and trailer. Shortly after our arrival the camp host came by and was very professional and courteous. He made us feel welcomed. He was also knowledgeable about trails to the lake etc. In short , we had an awesome time.

This is a beautiful Campground nestled in the Prescott National Forest pine trees with a very short walk to Lynx Lake. The hosts are very nice, helpful and take amazing care of the Campground. Note that some of the spots are very narrow, so getting a larger RV into some of the spots can be challenging, but worth it!

The parking spot for my trailer was kind of weird but the camping area was great.
