About
US Forest Service campground. Lynx Creek is located 11 miles from the north end of the Greys River Road. No water is available, and visitors are asked to Pack Out whatever is Packed In. A vault toilet is provided and private family picnic tables are scattered along a bench overlooking the river. This area is for day-use only. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
