The location was beautiful, and the campground was well-kept. The proximity to Lynx lake was excellent. Our campsite was absolutely tiny, but the facilities were in excellent shape. I have never encountered such nice or clean restrooms at a campground.

The whole Lynx lake campground is wonderful. There are spaced out to allow privacy. It's absolutely beautiful and well kept!

Although Lynx Lake is a busy spot, the campground was quiet and our site was private. Several great hikes start right out of the camp site. There was a little traffic in the campground - lookey-loos just driving through. Otherwise - just terrific. Very well maintained campground the the rules are enforced - especially quiet. The hosts do a great job in this campground. Beautiful spot.

We arrived Friday to our favorite camp site for a 5 day stay. Unfortunately Friday night my wife came down with a very high fever. Saturday morning we packed up and informed the camp host that we have an medical emergency and have to leave. We live 4 hours and the camp fees for the unused portion were already credited to our account.
We love coming to Lynx Lake Camp ground and every summer and have been for a number of years. Camp sites and bathroom are always clean. The camp host always friendly and helpful . Highly recommend

Nice, clean campground. Lovely area. And if you are the type who tends to forget something a convenience store is five minutes away.

Beautiful location, clean camp sites and the host was such a nice gentleman--he made sure we found our campsite, helped us look for another site that might better suit our needs in the future and made sure we got settled in nicely. We will definitely be back!
