Great Sites, Great Hosts, Friendly Rangers ,Clean sites, and restrooms. Dog friendly, but ensure on 6 ft leash. Cell service for tmobile and verizon is limited, reserve sites in advanced. 14 day stay limit in the Prescott National forest out of 30 days. Loops c,d,e,f provide less then 10 min walk to the lake. Northshore has day use area 1/4 away with cafe, and paddle boat rentals. Southshore has day use 3/4 away with boat launch, dock and marina area to swim, fish, launch boats. Water is off atm, but Walmart, Cosco, am/pm is close for drinking water and firewood. Blue Compass rv in presoctt Valley to fill potable water, and dump grey/black. If early check/in, check with the hosts first, to ensure the site has been checked and cleaned for arrival. Fire restrictions still allow fire to be burned in usfs provided pit or grill. No personal wood or charcoal grills, though propane and electric is acceptable.

Please Extinguish fires full when nothing use, or leaving campsite. Let's all help to keep the campground a Treasure. Let's all do our part to preserve.....

I love it there and so do my children. We were able to camp overnight, roast marshmallows and grill right at the campsite.

The "couple" hosts essentially consisted of the female. The Male host was never seen. Just know that "He"/"They" have access to all your personal information and look it up to find everything about you they can.

The camp host is a couple. The female of the couple did all the work. Never seen the male of this "couple" People looking for a Free ride are generally worthless. These two are the epitome of worthless.

We had a wonderful experience with our pop-up camper at Lynk Lake. Our site was very close to the lake. We will be back.
