Lynx Campground

How does a tranquil campsite just a short walk from a sparkling mountain lake sound for your next retreat? Lynx Campground, located in Prescott National Forest at an elevation of 5,600 feet, pairs the serenity of a shaded ponderosa pine forest with proximity to the lively Lynx Lake Recreation Area. Featuring 39 well-maintained campsites, this campground offers an inviting base for fishing, hiking, and wildlife observation while ensuring campers enjoy scenic privacy and cool breezes.

Just a quarter mile from the 55-acre Lynx Lake, the campground places outdoor enthusiasts close to boating, kayaking, and hiking trails like the Lakeshore Trail, a scenic two-mile loop ideal for leisurely exploration. Visitors frequently spot bald eagles, great blue herons, and other wildlife. Each site provides essential amenities such as fire rings, picnic tables, and access to potable water and restrooms, although RV hookups are not available.

Conveniently located just seven miles southeast of downtown Prescott, this campground keeps you connected to local culture and supplies while remaining immersed in the forest’s solitude. Whether you’re escaping the desert heat or seeking a weekend getaway filled with nature’s beauty, Lynx Campground is an exceptional destination for relaxation and recreation.
