We've camped at Lynx Lake on 5 times this year and we really love the camping. We now have 2 kayaks we use for fishing at Lynx and nearby Watson lake. The campground is in the tall pines, sites are really well kept. Bathrooms are clean and there's water for filling containers and you do have cell service. Host stops by to check you in and ask him for a parking pass for the lake it's free with campsite. Lynx has a good walking trail around the lake. Dogs are welcomed but require leash. We just love getting out of the heat and going camping at Lynx lake.

The camp hosts were nice and helpful. The campsites are different than most with many sites having steps that are a problem for the average age of the visitors.

This is probably one of the best kept paid campgrounds that I’ve been to in AZ. The size was manicured up to the tree line, it was level, the fire rings were cleaned out after each camper. And the vault toilets were the cleanest ones I’ve vet seen.
The spaces were also spread out and we felt secluded, despite the grounds being full.
We stayed on Loop H space 33, and it was only about a .25 mi walk to the lake.
