Wonderful and clean but I think a garbage can in each area would be nice.

Fácil acceso, bien comunicado, buen espacio en el lote, distancia suficiente entre lotes, baños limpios y accesibles, agua la suficiente. El lago está en un plano más abajo con veredas muy agradables en todo el recorrido, buena sombra.

First time at this site.:actually went with my daughter on a leap of faith with little information or knowledge of the area. Clean sites..bathrooms will maintained. Close enough to the lake to walk or drive
No complaints but a few things to know if going for the first time..areas for tents are not very spacious..some smaller than others…sites are not far from the road so you hear traffic constantly..close to town and shopping if need to grab supplies…not far from a few other lakes if you want to visit other areas.
Overall highly recommended and will definitely go back.

The campground is very well taken care of, the host was super nice and helpful. Loved the placement of the campground, how close it is to the lake. Camp spots aren’t super crammed in together. This has been one of our favorite campsite experiences in Arizona.

We've always liked this campground and the host was very good. Unfortunately, our lab got sick and we had to leave on our second day of our reservation. She has since passed away.

Stayed at 12C and 11C.
Lynx Campground is great place to camp, its very clean with multiple trials and lake that is less than 10 minutes from the campground.
Host (s) were very nice and helpful - they did worn us about storm/hail that was going to happen that day.
If you forgot something, you can drive back to town that is 10-15min away.
Toilets were ok - but as with the most camping sites they smell bad so you may want to pick your spot away from them.
If you need cellphone signal you may be out of luck - T-Mobile has almost 0 (zero) bars/reception.
12C is perfect place for a single tent - its probably one of the best spots as there is shade + lake/trails are just behind.
11C is just in the middle next to 10C so great spot if you are coming with multiple people.
I am giving 4 stars only because there is no 4.8 option :). Toilet is somewhat close and depending on the wind, you can smell it. Otherwise its great place to camp.
