Our camping experience was AMAZING! The campsites were clean. The bathrooms were also pretty clean and didn't have that nasty smell you'd expect. No coons at night either. We brought our big fluffy German shepherd with us. He also had a blast!! Everyone there was super inviting and friendly. oh and did I mention The lake was freaking BEAUTIFUL! !! We went fishing, but didn't have much luck. However, our neighbors that were about 20 ft away from me were bringing in some nice trout and bass. So there are DEFINITELY fish in there! Lol I'd also recommend bringing some good binoculars. An older gentleman on the hiking trail had some and he saw a bald eagle from across the lake.
I can't wait till next time! Lynx Lake is DEFINITELY one of the best campgrounds i have ever been to!!

The amount of dead bugs in the bathrooms was ridiculous.

Beautiful lake with a great walking path around it. There's even a bald eagle nesting there. The camp sites are large and only 5 or 6 on each spur, so you are not on top of the other campsite.

The sites are terrible and the host was very rude. We ended up leaving and going to another campsite.
