Site D-17. Although it was a tough backing up and in the to site - wall & pine tree on either side - it was a wonderful site. Nice, large, flat area to picnic. Close to hike trail. Wonderful camp host. Close to bathrooms. Great experience!

Camp host was very friendly and attentive. Good size spots separate from the other sites for some privacy.

We were only there for one night. We had a great time! The campsite was very close to where we parked, my spot was reserved with my name on it, which made it easy to find, and get set camp set up. It was very quiet and peaceful there, beautiful trees all around. It was so close to town, only 45 minutes from our home in a Paulden. We will definitely be planning another camp out at Lynx Lake again.

Good base camp. We hiked from Visitor Center to South Kaibob to Phantom Ranch to Bright Angel and back to Visitor Center in 15 hours. It was nice to have the base camp all set up to stage start and finish of hike

Great campground! Tons of spots but they are all separated into small loops with 3-5 sites per loop, so you dont feel like there's a ton of neighbors. The spots are really close to the water and spot 25 has a trail down to the water right next to it, so you can easily reach the lake in a short amount of time.

We loved the camp ground and location and the camp host was excellent.
Unfortunately, we did have some very loud and rude neighbors (who blatantly ignored the quiet hours one night, so we got no sleep!) but that is not a reflection on the host or the grounds themselves. We look forward to another visit, hopefully with more respectful neighbors.

Beautiful surroundings. Extremely blessed to have great neighbors at the camp site. The camp host worked my family all weekend long. Almost to the point I wanted to call the sheriff due to unrest harassment. It's a shame will never go there again. No water, no fish, and unnecessary harassment.
