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.

Very clean and well maintained. The trails to the lake and some wild life made the stay absolutely awesome.

Everything great. I was appalled an older couple was going through boxes of food at campsite across from us. The people were in a motor home with no car. I told them they would be back. When the campers came back half their food and volleyball were gone. I showed them the people’s campsite and they asked them what the campers wanted back! The comment was thrown not to leave your campsite unless you leave a sign you are coming back. The poor people were using a rental and doing a church retreat. All I have to say is lock down your food and equipment because there are rude people taking it!

Beautiful, clean campground! There is a hiking trail around the perimeter of the lake. Dog-on-leash friendly. We stayed in D15, which was just the right size for our 18 foot travel trailer and truck. Friendly and helpful camp host.

The only issue I had was that the area to back the trailer into was very narrow. You can not tell that by looking at the map or the pictures on the website. I am new to backing up a trailer so it was impossible for me to get the trailer in the spot. Fortunately for me, a ranger happened by and was able to help me.
