The camp host called the police on my family and I all because the kids in our camp and two camps next to us were too loud. The sun was still up and they were playing football together. She went up and started yelling at the kids and when we told her to come talk to us and not go to minors, she said we were being aggressive and she was calling the police. The police came and were super nice about it and said we didn’t do anything wrong but it made me not want to do our annual camping trip here next year. We go to get the kids off of their screens and enjoying nature. Playing in the woods and not worrying about being quiet during the day is part of the experience. The last two years we didn’t as a group the host was fantastic. Not this year.

Have always liked this campground. Grew up in Prescott in the 60s and 70s. Well maintained, clean pit toilets, sires are well separated.

The campsite was very clean and beautiful. The bathrooms were kept tidy & the sites are very well-maintained. Our site had a trail leading to the paved walking trail around the lake, and even a way to get to the water. The sites are well-spaced and the campsite was peaceful at night when we were there. I would definitely recommend this campground!

Fine except for the unbearable odor from the latrines. Kinda made eating food unsavory.

I love Lynx Campground! Quiet, serene and a perfect place for a getaway without being too far into the boonies.
