Had an amazing time this last weekend for my birthday on the 16th. Manny and Sheila were excellent hostess and gave information to us about bears, mountain lions, and Rattlesnakes. Also they were so kind to my daughter which awesome. Not only that they gave my daughter a necklace they make as souvenir to remember that place for her first camping trip

This campground was one of the friendliest and best maintained. The bathrooms were clean and well-attended, our campground was swept, and the site attendants were very friendly when they checked in on us. We took five families and rented basically an entire loop and everyone remarked on what a great experience it was.

I really enjoyed the campground. The hosts were helpful and friendly. It was picturesque and very pretty. There were nature trails and the asphalt roads really made the experience great. I definitely recommend.

The camp hosts were great and we love the campground—it’s clean, quiet, the sites are well spaced, and there are several trails running through it. Only downside is how low Lynx Lake is. We read that it would be low, but it’s barely a lake now, more of a pond. It was sad to see.

This was my first time staying at Lynx campground, and I was more than pleased with the experience. The camp host was very friendly and welcoming, and the campground itself was very well maintained. This will be my go-to place when I visit Prescott!!

We camped in the G loop, site 29. FABULOUS! It's a great site with ample shade during the afternoon. Short walk to the restrooms. Lots of trails around and the camp hosts did an EXCELLENT job keep everything stocked and clean! We absolutely will stay here again! The lake was drained pretty low for maintenance and that was a little disappointing but the site easy driving from other lakes, so still were able to kayak. Also was nice to drive just a few miles down the road and grab a Costco pizza one night when we didn't feel like cooking. Crazy, you would never guess you were that close to town!

Camping was great, was a little disappointed on how low the lake was. I read the water was low but the level was beyond low. I wish they would post images that showed the lake as it is.
