We loved our lakeside campsite! The lake was lovely, clear and temperate. The vistas were fantastic and we look forward to camping here again. We went from a Monday through a Wednesday in late September and the campground was not overly populated. There are ample facilities and some access to power, just not directly at most campsites. Water is available everywhere, just not hookups. We used a 17' tent. The campsite we used was 12 A and it was really wonderful for lake access. We had a fire ring with a cooking grate and noticed a similar setup at every campsite we saw.
There are three loops of sites with lake views and lake access everywhere. Some sites are on a hillside, making for a wonderful vista in and of itself. Very close to grocery and convivence shopping. There are a few trails and lake access activities nearby.
If you are looking for privacy, select your campsite very carefully. Many of these sites are very close to each other with very little cover or vegetation separation. When the campground is sparsely attended this wont be an issue, so you may want to carefully consider the time of year you plan your trip. If you are looking for a campground where you can link up with multiple parties in your travel group across several campsites, then this place is ideal no matter the time of year!

We had a beautiful campsite right on the lake. The bathhouse was clean. The drinking water source was close hy, easily accessible. I like that showers and toilet\sink areas are all individual - probably not a bad thing in the time of covid.

Jackrabbit Campground is one of the very few campgrounds where there is no traffic noise. The campground was full over the weekend but it was very quiet and peaceful. Make reservations ahead of time if you want a site on the water.

NO trash cans throughout the camp,
One shower was disfunctional and was NOT signed to inform campers, even after notified,
Other shower was very nice, perfect temperature and clean,
Sites are carefully laid out, very well,
Host did not greet, check us out or post names on the campsite sticks,
A very nice campground, overall, I will return with my 16' travel trailer
