I reserved site #32 at Lynx Lake campground. The site info did NOT say there were steps to the campsite or I would have picked another. Other sites did! I got there at 7pm to 13 stairs.
I had to leave my ice chest and other heavy things in my car. All I did was stair step for 2 days. Im 66, that was not a happy time.
Im very upset it took a month for the NO answer after I was told YES.
Please refund as promised at your earliest convenience. TY, ME

It was our first camping trip at the Lynx Lake. There are group family of 5 of us and we had a great time. It was chilly evening when we went but it was a priceless moment with the family.
