I guess maybe I’m a little naïve but when I go camping to spots, that do not have hook ups. I assume people are just camping, enjoying nature, listening to the beautiful birds. Unfortunately, all I heard was generators running!! It wasn’t the experience I was hoping for didn’t even stay my three days left two days early. Stayed on some BLM land close by where it was nice and peaceful quiet was able to really enjoy nature.

My son and I enjoyed our time at Lynx Lake Campground. We were first time visitors.
Unfortunately I didn't find out till after the fact that I didn't have to pay the parking fee at the Lake since I was already staying at the campground. So make sure to ask the camp host for a free pass to put on your dash.
Hope you won't mind flies in the stalls and lil mice roaming around the campground. Squirrels are bold so don't leave anything out. Don't mind the coyotes howling in the night.
There is a water pump available near the restroom building for filling up water jugs which I wish I knew about sooner.
If you go in the summer, don't forget sunscreen. We got sunburned the first day hiking around the Lake. It's a nice hike!

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

Campground is great. Well maintained. Lake is super low and disappointing

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

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!

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

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.
