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.

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.

weather was warm during the day and cool enough for a campfire at night. our kids and grandkids joined us for our 3 days and we were able to enjoy kayaking and paddle boarding all 3 days; we had a great time. next time we want to make sure we get campsites that are on the same level as the parking to make using the trailers easier.

Even though there are limited sites on each loop they are grouped close together. That plus the proximity to Warner road noise detracts from the peacefulness of camping.

The grounds are well maintained and staff very friendly. The camp area is far enough from town to feel away, out in nature, but still close enough for a quick run in if something is needed.
Lots of trails leading to the lake.
Definitely recommend for family outing.

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. Side D-19 is a great double site for camping with our camping buddies. This sight has it’s own covered pavilion. And lots of room and privacy. We just LOVE it. Will return time and time again.
