Absolutely beautiful campground. We really liked the walk near the lake in the evening and morning. Quiet, clean, spacious sites.

We’ve stayed at this campground several times. It is the cleanest and best organized than any other we have been to so far. The camp hosts have been friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Our first time to camp at Lynx Lake and we were very impressed. We will be back. A beautiful location and the accommodations at the campground were great.

The sites are very well manicured, but the hosts are very strict even during the day for any music or chatting above a conversation. People are there to camp and enjoy nature playing some music shouldn't be an issue.

09/08-09/09/2020 - Beautiful setting amongst the tall Pondarosa pines and easy shoreline access via short trails to a paved walking path around the lake. The campsites were very clean as the bathrooms as well. There is potable water and flush toilets, but no showers or bathing facilities. You feel miles away from civilization, yet Costco is only 2.5 mi away. Fires were permitted in the approved metal fire rings even though there was a fire ban in the county. We had a hard time finding firewood since the weekend before our stay was the Labor Day holiday, but managed to get some at Walmart (.68 CuFt was $6.88, Home Depot wanted $22 for their one and only bag). I found that we went through two of the .68 cf boxes a night, which supplied plenty of that camping ambience and much needed heat (43 degrees at night). I paid the extra $8 to reserve a spot, but there were a lot of empty spots during the work week. Driving around the campground, I really didn't see more than one or two camp sites that might possibly have a view of the lake. Most spots are back in sites with a few pull through ones. All in all, a really great spot to stay the night or two and Patrick and Michael (hosts) keep the grounds very clean.

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. Side D-19 is a great double site for camping with our camping buddies. This sight has it’s own covered pavilion. And lots of room and privacy. We just LOVE it. Will return time and time again.

The grounds are well maintained and staff very friendly. The camp area is far enough from town to feel away, out in nature, but still close enough for a quick run in if something is needed.
Lots of trails leading to the lake.
Definitely recommend for family outing.

Even though there are limited sites on each loop they are grouped close together. That plus the proximity to Warner road noise detracts from the peacefulness of camping.

weather was warm during the day and cool enough for a campfire at night. our kids and grandkids joined us for our 3 days and we were able to enjoy kayaking and paddle boarding all 3 days; we had a great time. next time we want to make sure we get campsites that are on the same level as the parking to make using the trailers easier.
