Love this campground, it's only 90 minutes away for me but cool enough to enjoy nature. I have been coming here for years. Campground is clean with a good layout. Also, the camp hosts are courteous, friendly and knowledgeable (even if a camper may or may not have had a situation trying to park). Will continue to go there for vacations!

Great tent sites, fire ring was close to surrounding underbrush, could not find any coin operated showers per website. Good location, short walk to lake! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Campground was clean and leveled. One night there was a visitor at space 26 that was very loud with playing music. Camp Host didn’t come to the space to quite down the group. But all and all had a good time.

Beautifully spaced out campground with trails for walking and nice bird life. Saw lots of blue heron and a bald eagle! Quiet setting yet close to Prescott and other attractions.

The campground was beautiful and very clean. We stayed at site D20. We were very close to the short trail that leads right to the lake. My husband and son saw a bald eagle while fishing early one morning. Make sure to go into Downtown Prescott and take a walk around the courtyard. It is a lovely community with wonderful people.

Fantastic spot for anyone looking to to have a lake within walking distance of your campsite. Plenty of shade sound the lake for warmer days. I gave it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ because the bathroom did not have a sink. I know I’m a pain! On a side note we saw two bald eagles in one tree. Hard to beat Lynx Lake.
