Review Summary

Each loop has only a handful of campsites so it's nice to not have a ton of traffic driving by as the main loop tends to bypass each section.
The sites don't seem to be overly large but are perfect for tenting, with a nicely raked tent pad, good size cement picnic table, and campfire ring. We did see RVs set up so likely not much of a concern.
The campground does not have a designated check in so with the assumption you have pre-paid, you simply find your site, begin set up, and the host stops by to confirm. Otherwise for space available bookings, if the campground has space you just grab an available spot and pay onsite.
The campground is within walking distance of Lynx Lake which has an easy walking path around it, but note the marina store and boat rental facility are closed due to COVID. The campground is also closer to Prescott than we realized and thought we would get some serious traffic noise but surprisingly not, there was a bit of traffic in the morning for a short time but nothing that was overly loud or irritating.
Flush toilets are well maintained, as is the overall campground itself. The hosts stop by at least once a day and are very helpful.
My only concern, per se, would be if there is an issue there is no way to contact the host since there is no dedicated check in spot, although they do have a site within the campground just off the entrance.
The one thing I would call out is that the vast majority of the camp sites do not have any shade cover so it would be important to have some kind of canopy for the afternoons.
Would absolutely recommend the Lynx Campground and hope to come back again for another stay.

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.

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.

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.

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