Had site A11 for 9 days. Good for morning sun and then shaded for the rest of the day. Site was perfectly level and firepit open to view sky at night for shooting stars. Good swimming holes with lots of privacy, more so than at Castle Falls. First come for sites. Busy on weekends but quiet after that.
We stayed here with friends for four nights, it's definitely the nicest camp area if you do not have a large trailer or RV. There were lots of folks in the designated camping areas but there really isn't a lot of privacy or shelter in other areas around castle. Lynx Creek has three different loops all first come first served, each loop has a vault toilet and waste receptacles. There are wells but it's not suggested to use the water for doing dishes. It would be good if they had a wash station for campers. Overall it was a good area for a digital detox getaway.
Private sites, no water, firewood or camp host on site. Primitive. Come prepared.
Clean campground with washrooms at the park. There's a river where you can swing, water is not too cold there.
I think it is a little expensive at 23 Canadian dollars. If it had a water pump it would be better. You get A pit toilet, table, fire ring, and garbage bins. Beautiful Area!
