It was peaceful, clean, and nice and quiet. ​They have an awesome "adventure trail" on-site that was so much fun, it became our mandatory evening routine. ​If you're planning a trip, here is a pro tip: look for a site in the back half of the campground. It's much quieter and offers a way better experience overall. Five stars all the way!

I've been coming to this camp every MLK weekend since 2001 for RYLA leadership camp. The staff have…read morealways been kind and hard working. I've stayed in Vanderpool, Bluebird, Verner, and Fiesta. They've always had clean, warm beds and clean bathrooms. We have most of our it leadership activities in Tabernacle and A-Frame. We also use the Leisure House and the amphitheater. A few years ago we started using Tab East and Tab West. My primary job is AV. They upgraded their sound system in both Tabernacle and A-frame from last year and it is pretty awesome! They also had one wireless hand held mic and a lavelier mic for me to use. I brought in 6 of our own wireless hand held mics to plug into their system. Their video projector and mixer boards in Tabernacle, Tab West, Tab East and A-frame were wonderful. It's so nice when the tech works!! As always, confidence course (high ropes) are always a big hit for our campers! Challenge course (low ropes) is also a camper favorite. We also do bonfire on our last night of camp and the only down side to that is the 930pm sound ordinance. So over the years we have converted to playing acoustic music. I would give this camp 5 stars, but this past year, the new owners of the camp actually yelled at our RYLA chair in front of everyone, including the campers (who are high school students and are impressionable). It was bad taste, rude, and unnecessary. Also, they stopped providing dietary options for those who are gluten free. They only offer vegetarian as an alternative option. So we had adult volunteers who used their own money to make gluten-free and vegetarian options for our campers.

So, we made our way back up to the upper lake, where bait is permitted. The upper lake was fairly crowded and a bit noisy (sound really carries there), but it's a beautiful spot overall--small, peaceful, and scenic. We stayed for about two hours, didn't catch anything, but did spot a few fish swimming around. Still a pleasant visit!

A Prescott gem.

This is a fun lake to explore because there is so much to do here. We came over here to Watson Lake…read morebecause Lynx Lake had to be drained and we couldn't kayak over there. Watson Lake is great for boating, hiking, fishing and day picnicking. Rock climbers like to climb on the large rugged granite rock formations known as Granite Dells. These rock formations make this lake very picturesque. I used to see pictures of Watson Lake all over social media before coming here. Watson Lake is located a few miles from Downtown Prescott. It is a reservoir that was formed in the early 1900s when a dam was built on Granite Creek. There are two boat launches for canoeing and kayaking. The Prescott Peavine Trail is the area's most popular trail if you want to hike around the lake. You cannot swim in Watson Lake because water quality and algae concerns. Before coming here, just know that there is a small daily fee to park your vehicle at Watson Lake. We enjoyed kayaking here. There were a lot of areas to explore at this lake. The rock formations are fun to kayak around and make for pretty photographs. If you are into bird watching, this is a great place to go because the Watson Woods Riparian Preserve is nearby.

We hiked a loop trail of the Willow trail (#347), the Mint Wash trail (#345) and 351, parking at the Wekuvde picnic area. On a Monday in September we only saw three other people on the trail until we came to Granite Basin Lake where there was one large group and a couple small groups picnicking. The Willow trail is beautiful, traversing gentle up and down areas of pine woodlands with 180 degree views west, north and east and has partial shade. The post monsoon wildflowers were in full bloom. The route back along Mint Wash was also lovely with 5 or 6 creek crossings, boulders, flowers and Granite Mountain views.

I have camped in Prescott before, but never at this lake. I had heard great things about Lynx Lake…read moreand have always wanted to check it out. This lake was formed in the 1960s when they dammed Lynx Creek. It is stocked for fishing and has a campground and hiking trails around it. There are lots of animals that are native to this area like mule deer, osprey and bald eagles. I booked a campsite here during the summer because I own a kayak and wanted to get out on the water. After setting up my site, I headed over to Lynx Lake. I was a little disappointed to see the water so low. I guess in late 2024, the lake was partially drained to fix a mechanical failure in the dam's outlet valve. It has to rely entirely on natural rain and snow to be refilled and could take years to get back to normal. So we just did a hike around the lake and headed back to our campsite. Lynx Campground has around 35 campsites with a picnic table, fire ring and a grill at each site. There are no RV hook-ups, but they do have drinking water and toilets. The campsite is about half a mile directly south of Lynx Lake. We enjoyed our campsite and had a fun time. We had to partially share our site with another family because their giant tent spilled onto our site (which was annoying). But we made the most of it. The nice thing is that the Town of Prescott isn't too far away if you need any food or supplies. As for kayaking, we were able to do that over at Watson Lake. You can book a campsite ahead of time on Recreation.gov.

Campsite had a fire pit and picnic table. They had bathrooms which I'll be honest, I've never seen so many flies at once. You open the door and they fly right out at you like a movie lol. We also encountered three bears around 10:30pm. We didn't know there were bears in the area. They did have a post by the bathroom on how to be "bear aware" but nothing about sightings, so I thought I'd warn here. I'm pretty sure it was a mom and two cubs. Overall would stay here again!

My family and I just completed our second stay here. Twice we have rented out the guest house and…read morewe will definitely be back. I absolutely love this place, its away from the city (which we are from Phx), the weather is cooler, and the scenery is beautiful. The owners Ella and Mike are super down to earth and kind. When you rent the guest house, they provide you with farm fresh eggs, bread, bacon, orange juice; basic breakfast food. So if you come multiple days you do need to bring own food and cook yourself but it's not bad at all. The house is filled with all cooking utensils and its clean. They also have an outdoor kitchen right next to the house which is super cool and glows with lights at night time. The best part about this place is the beautiful lake nearby that you can easily spend an entire day at, either swimming, fishing, boating. It's really just amazing and I highly reccomend.

My girlfriend and I stayed here over the past weekend and it turned into a bigger adventure than we…read morecould have expected. We got there late, which I would not recommend since the roads are dark and bit confusing, and to our surprise there was only one cabin on the property and we were the only visitors, since it was a bit cold for tent camping. The cabin is prety big with one bedroom/bathroom but could house up to 3 couples IMO. Since this is the first review on this place im gonna try doing a quick run down of the things that made the experience memorable. 1. Far away from civilization - This ranch is prety probably 30 mins from any civilization so gotta come prepared with food. There is no cell service so its a good excuse to ignore the world for a while. Wifi is available but we had trouble getting on so we decided to go without and it was nice. They had a landline available but we did not use it. 2. You get the farm experience - The cabin is 20 ft away from a big chicken coop with happy chickens and roosters. There are cows (bought some great organic burger meat for $4/lb) and horses (went for my first horse ride for $45/hr). There were a also a bunch of cats that seemed a bit hungry but ended up growing on us and an old dog named Lucy. 3. Lots to do - There is a pond on the property with fish and a bunch of boats to take out. There are hiking paths (it is mostly a desert landscape with a good amount of trees around the lake/river). You can take out the horses with the owners as your personal tour guides. Great firepit with wood provided right next to the cabin. The area also has atvs and but we didnt get a chance to use them. 4. Great owners - Prob the best part of the experience was how welcoming the owners and farm hand was. They were very open, trusting, accomodating and really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Heard some great stories and philosophies on being happy and living a simple farm life, which ive always been curious about. I would def recommend the experience to my friends but it is definitely good to know what to expect. One somewhat misleading thing is the bed and breakfast in the name, since you make your own food, but they do provide the food with kitchen and it all worked out really nice.
