Lovely campground close to the city of Prescott, Arizona. There are many sites that offer privacy and the restrooms are clean. I loved hiking around the lake, too. I will definitely go back to this gem!

The campsite and entire campground were very clean and Campground Hosts were exceptionally helpful. We were returning to Lynx Lake Campground after having camped there 45 years ago and were so pleasantly surprised at all the improvements. Water and bathrooms available at easy walking distance from all the camping sites. Bicycle and hiking trails were well groomed and appropriately marked for ruggedness. Lynx Lake Campground was one of our favorite camping trips in 2019.

The space I thought I reserved was supposed to be a back in space for a 22' trailer. What we ended up with was a pull in spot right next to the road so we had traffic going by all the time - Other than that it was fine.

The campsite and location are awesome, couldn’t ask for a better place to spend with the family. Now the ranger/park host at that time was a bit much. Changing the sign out at 7am on the day we were leaving literally 2 feet away from my open camper windows, constantly driving by us..just didn’t feel private with him looking over our shoulders the whole time.

We had a wonderful stay at this campground. It was clean, steps away from the toilets and water spigot. Lots of hiking trails down to Lynx Lake and through the forest. If you run out of supplies, there's a Costco just down the road!

My family gathered for a celebration of the life of my brother who died unexpectantly. Loved ones came from far away. North and South Carolina, California, New York, and The Marshall Islands. Camping with my brother Pat at Lynx Lake was the last time I saw him 9 years ago with my son. It was a new moon. Sunday was quiet at sundown. Chilled with my son Josh and my brother Tim. It was the most peaceful and healing day of my life.
