Camping Near Lynx Lake

Weekend trip to Lynx Lake Area

Hi, This trip my owners decided that they want to get to some cooler temperatures for the weekend. So they decided to go up to Lynx Lake just south east of Prescott AZ. Well the temps were cooler, I would say down right chilly. the GPS location for this site is. 34°29'47.1"N 112°22'25.4"W. Here are some satellite shots and a map.


 We also found a cool map at the Lynx Lake General Store

This map show all the camping locations close to the lake and dispersed camping is just another name for boon-docking as far as I'm concerned.

Conditions Of The Road Into The Camp Area

To get to this location you will cross a cattle guard on Walker Rd, and take the first left. Warning go slow, I repeat go slow! The road is not really bad in any one spot, it's just kind of a little bad everywhere, and that adds up to one rough ride. I saw small sedans driving this road so it must feel a lot worse than it really is.



 This is the first bit of road and honestly the worst part.

 This is the sign at the turn off from Walker Rd.

Next Up All The Fun Pictures Of The Area

This location is so pretty with  plenty of room at each designated camp site for multiple people. Each camp site is separated by plenty of trees and foliage. So if you park in the right spot, you can have privacy even within the same camp site.

Each camp site is at least this big!

Cant camp by a lake without a lake picture!



Finally the owners wanted me to pass along some info they feel is important. This trip was done mid April, and the highs were in the upper 50's and the lows were between 31 and 29 degrees. I was very cool and bordering on too cold to be comfortable. Despite the cool weather, all camping sites were full by 9am Saturday morning. The paid camp sites by the lake were full Friday evening by 8pm. If you wish to get a spot come out early. There is another set of dispersed camping areas a little further south on Walker Rd., but they were full by the time we went to look at them around 11am Saturday. Fire wood can be found, but it will take work as most of the collectable wood near the camp sites has already been picked up and used. Plan to spend 2 to 3 hours collecting wood or bring your own.

Thank you for visiting and remember Keep on Boon-Docking !!!
