This is a beautiful campground! We stayed at site 77 and it was perfectly located close to the restrooms and close to the dumpsters (but still far away enough not to be too close). It is up on a little hill and away from the water which was nice when it rained. There is no electric and no water on this site but the water spout is close to the restrooms if you need to do dishes. We charged our phones in our car. The restrooms were always so clean! The shower was ok, but didn’t get too hot and it turns off every couple minutes so you have to keep turning it on, but it was nice that there were private showers. There are amazing hiking trails and mountain bike trails at this park. The lake is beautiful and the campground hosts are so friendly! We can’t wait to go back!

Great weekend of camping.
It would be nice if they fixed the dryer in the loop C men's bathroom. I've been camping at Jackrabbit for over 10 years and it has never worked.

Our first time camping in this location and we fell in love. We loved the proximity to the lake and the campsites didn’t feel like they were on top of each other. Only downside was that there were only two bathrooms which could lead to a bit of a wait when it gets busy.

Site 61 is not convenient for a solo camper. Tent pad is about 35 paces away from steps. Vehicle parking is away from steps. Good site otherwise. Shady.

I loved the time I spent there! It's not a crowded place, so you can really enjoy nature and the beautiful biodiversity of the area. The trails are beautiful and well kept. The campground was great and hot showers at the end of the day were a plus.

As our daughter was in site 46 and we were in site 45, there was quite a bit of distance between the two sites. In looking at the map when we chose these spots, we thought they would be closer together, but we had to walk up a bank to get to her site. This made it difficult considering we were cooking our meals together and we were the only ones with the cooking stove, but she had the majority of the food. Access to the lake was impossible with a pontoon from this site due to the fact that the lake was lower so we couldn't get our pontoon for fear of either getting stuck in the mud or pulling mud into the motor. The kids that were at various sites in the campground began to ride their bikes and scream around 7:30 a.m. on Saturday morning which made for sleeping in impossible. Some of the campers came over in front of our campsite to play some kind of golf because their campsite was too close to the water, which made it impossible for us to enjoy our view for listening to them critiquing their golf game. Other than that, it was our first visit to Jack Rabbit Campground but really thought it would be less busy due to the time we were there. The supervisor was extremely nice however when we asked if there were any other sites we could move to due to the distance apart from our daughter. Having the bath house close by was a great help, however, when the kids were riding their bikes they were not paying attention to people crossing the road and one just about hit me as I was trying to get across the road before he got too close.
