Great location, clean sites. Some are bigger than others, so be sure to check out the pics online before making a reservation.

Our site was very nice. Loop B, Site 4. Very clean and nicely spaced away from other campers. Wifi was non-existent.

The campground hosts at Lynx were awesome. Always around making sure all ok. Bathrooms nice and clean. Lynx is one of our favorite campgrounds to go to. See you in August.

Nice camp ground, very clean and quiet. Its hard to believe your any a few minutes from town.

@RyanC6963071 · Camped on May 8, 2025 at Campsite #13

Great place to get away, it was enjoyable, I can't wait until the lake water level is back up!

@BettinaP63CB13 · Camped on May 5, 2025 at Campsite #12

This campground must be reserved on Recreation.gov which makes it very expensive due to the eight dollar reservation fee which has to be paid even for same day. Not every loop has paid toilets which makes it a long way to walk to the toilet. The only set of flashing toilets were locked, a sign announced the arrival of Porta Potties soon. The only thing that actually worked with the water taps. Apparently there are showers and flushing toilets at Lynx Lake which is not accessible from the campground and requires a separate entry fee. I will not go back to this campground. Unfortunately around Prescott there are very little camping options and the dispersed camping nearby is all taking up by people who seem to be living there permanently.

A very well kept and nice campground. The tent pad had plenty of room and it was nice being back away from the road with the parking spot blocking the view of the road or any other campsites. We could not figure out how to check in which was a little stressful upon arrival but had no other issues. Not many places to hang a hammock if thats something you like to do.

@LukeB5750B5D52 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #10

Great campsite

@AngelaH869D51B · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #9

The campground itself was beautiful and the site (B9) was PERFECT for our party (8 adults). The reason Im only giving it a 3 star review was for issues related to the restroom: The site restrooms were closed (we were not told this upon arrival or before) although the sign said Porta potties would be coming, there were none delivered. Anytime anyone needs to use the restroom they had to walk or drive to a different section of the camp. It was not close at all. There is no running water around B9 either so thst needs to be accounted for as well (not too much of an issue for us).People should also be aware that the lake is drained, so water activities are minimal if thats why you chose this campground (for a lake).

@Christine93542 · Camped on Apr 25, 2025 at Campsite #26

Campsite was clean and easy to set up. However bathrooms were closed in the loop and no directions in where to find functioning ones. Had to drive to the nearest one. Based on past reviews it seems like theyve been this way for awhile and no indication when theyll be back. Would have been useful to know before I made the reservation.

@DominickF97364 · Camped on Apr 23, 2025 at Campsite #20

Site No. 20 DFair price. Very clean bathrooms with no flies or smell. Plenty of room to park a trailer or 2nd vehicle in this particular site. The as of late April '25, the lake was a bit of a let down. A full lake would have made my stay worthy of 5 stars. I'll be back next year once again for the Whiskey Off Road race!

@DonaldH6846342 · Camped on Apr 20, 2025 at Campsite #4

Camp host Manny took many extra steps to make sure our stay was awesome!

@JamesK1667053 · Camped on Apr 14, 2025 at Campsite #1

Just returned from Lynx Lake Campground, A loop. As always, beautiful, well laid out campground. However, a few multi year problems continue.1. The two flush toilets closed that service A, B, E, F loops. No sign of any effort to open. Door signs says porta potties on the way soon. Not yet. Multi-year problem. Any effort to fix in the 5 months campground closure before the April 1 campground opening? Only alternative for A, B, E, F loops is to hike to the vault toilets in other loops, perhaps in the middle of the night. Note, there was no message in the campground website stating these closures - only a message about the low lake level. An advance warning before arriving would have been useful to allow for cancellations.2. All vehicles entering the campground encounter a three-way intersection up the entrance road. First sign say B loop to the left, A loop to the right. No designation for the middle loop. When at the intersection, drivers will face a sign head on with a one way arrow (no loop designation) to head to the right. The result is the majority of new drivers take this route that leads only to the A loop. In the process of a day, this consists of dozens of wayward vehicles looping through A loop in an effort to find their campsite in another loop. Proper signs, including for the middle road at the 3 way intersection, would help. Or alternatively, paint the directions on the road.

Great campsite! 15D was more private than other campsites and right next to a trail that leads to Lynx Lake. Only downside is the lake nearby is half empty, but great walking path around it. Clean bathrooms, short drive into Prescott recommend walking around Watson Lake!

@NealT5983366 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #31

Always enjoy Lynx Lake

@jackiwBA48747B · Camped on Apr 1, 2025 at Campsite #18

This campground is beautiful. My site (18) was fairly private. Ponderosa Pines all along the back of the site gives you a feeling of being alone in the woods. I went at opening weekend so of course it was in pristine condition. Bathroom was clean. (I can't say what it would be like in the summer when the campground gets busy) Hiking trails very convenient in this loop (D) I saw the hosts one time and that was when they put my reserved sign up. They were friendly and non-intrusive. Sites 16 and 17 are very close together. These would be great for two families that want to spend time together but remain in their own sites. You can't really see 18 from from 16 and 17 but I imagine it could get pretty loud (if you're looking for privacy but don't mind a little noise then 18 is it. T-Mobile service sketchy at best. I do carry a Garmin InReach so I am able to check in with my family periodically.I will definitely come back when the weather is nicer.

@FrankP8013762 · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #32

Campground in very good condition, though no running water. Quiet at night. Lynn was an excellent camp host

@RustamMFE20CB7 · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #10

That was exciting camping I've had, definitely will be back for next camping,. The minus thing was there is no water available.

@PaytonGDF799B7 · Camped on Oct 26, 2024 at Campsite #16

Our campsite host/ranger was great! The bathroom by our site was the cleanest bathroom i have ever used while camping! We weren't thrilled about the bear sitings around us but nobody but the bear is to blame for that.

@TimothyS245218 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #17

So peaceful and relaxing. Nice campsite, friendly neighbors

@AndrewP1911421 · Camped on Oct 23, 2024 at Campsite #6

Quiet, nice, great hostess, convenient. Stayed for 5 days

@RichardT729403 · Camped on Oct 16, 2024 at Campsite #15

Lynx Lake Campground is always clean and well prepared. The campground hosts were especially good this year. Friendly and helpful.

@IvanT6994245 · Camped on Oct 14, 2024 at Campsite #23

Hands down my favorite place to go camping. The site was clean. The weather was perfect. I was able to take my kayaks on the water. The brick and mortar restrooms were down but porta John's were available and cleaned regularly. Can't rave enough about this place.

@CaraleeL605203 · Camped on Oct 12, 2024 at Campsite #16

Firstly, the camp host was friendly and attentive.But the particular spot I booked was not so hot. It was close to the toilet, which up there are pit toilets, not flush toilets. I prefer them, especially as the water to the campground is still off. Been off all summer.This spot was pretty much parking on the road and walking down stairs to the lower level to do anything. There's not a stitch of privacy for this spot. And pretty much the same for shade unless you walk into the woods.Cell service was a joke!I wish spots like this didn't exist! The only good thing was solar.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
