Our campsite #6 was very nice. Bathrooms were clean and close. The lake was very low but hopefully will fill back up before too long. The hike around the lake was nice and we also went on some of the more interior trails.

At the Entrance of the camp ground: make the map loops at the entrance more visible for reservation campers to stop and look at the map loops, before entering camp ground and see where the group loops of campsite numbers are located.

Easy access, but very small campsites. Avoid “A” loop, as it’s close to the road noise.

The campground and facilities were kept very clean due to frequent visits from the hosts. The hosts were extremely pleasant to talk to during their rounds. We definitely will be utilizing the camps in the future.

The campgrounds are clean and beautiful. Everything was amazing and the staff was great as well.
We met a squirrel who we named Walter. He not only stole our marsh-mellows but he ate an entire bag of chili cheese fritos. My wife was not a fan of him but it was pretty funny.

Lake is low but still pretty. Campground is very well kept and our site was excellent. No shade on this campsite during the day, but otherwise perfect.

We stayed one night at Lynx Lake and it was a great experience for us. The beautiful nature with pine trees, rain and great weather was wonderful. Walking by the lake was very relaxing. I recommend everyone to come to this area for rest and refreshment.

We have been going to Lynx for years and are never disapppointed. So sad the lake is low due to the dam work but still such a lovely place. The camp host was friendly and keeps the grounds and the restrooms clean@
