The best camping near Lyman Lake State Park guide
Overview
About
At an elevation of 6,000 feet, Lyman Lake State Park is one of the best ways to beat the Arizona heat with summer days hovering in the 80’s and 1,500 acres of water to jump into. The behemoth lake can be experienced along shoreline trails where petroglyphs grace the rocks and jackrabbits scurry through the wildflowers. But let’s be real, you came to get wet! There’s plenty of splish splashing to be had; jet skis, speed boats, canoes, and kayakers all share these waters. There’s no better way to take to the lake than skimming the surface on an innertube. Anglers can enjoy the quiet west end of Lyman, word is the walleye and bass hang here in the no wake zone. Once you’ve had your fill of sun and fun, let Lyman sing you to sleep in one of their campgrounds or cabins, though expansive skies and singing toads may mesmerize you until dawn. Lyman Lake is a classic desert oasis in any season, we assure you this place is no mirage.
