Great little campground. Campground host is friendly and knowledgeable. Campsites are very clean and well maintained. You can tell staff takes pride in keeping the sites ready for their next guests. We stayed twice in a week and both sites were very consistently maintained, clean and gravel raked. Bathrooms were clean and stocked as well. Walking paths and trails are clearly marked and easily found. Some of the paths around the lake are asphalt for those who need a little more accessibility. Lake is beautiful.

Mike and Patrick are 2 volunteers who do one FANTASTIC job in keeping Lynx Lake Campground looking terrific. It's so clean, no trash and they are so friendly and professional. We love going here and really enjoy visiting with both of these volunteers who deserve to be recognized for their outstanding care of this campground. The Adams from Tucson.

Beautiful tent sites! Clean flush toilets. Very happy I stayed there. I was there late August 2021. Only regret is that I didn't have time to check out the lake or the trail around it.

The sites are very large, with grown mature trees separating each site. Lots of privacy. The area is beautiful and the lake is nice for kayaking. Very clean. Camp hosts very helpful and polite. Definitely recommend.

Campground was neat and clean. Bathroom was fairly clean, it was just cleaned but needed to be swept or hosed down as there was debris on the floor. No towels to dry hands. Overall it was very nice.
Trails to lake we're sketchy, but we found our way.
