Many campers appreciate the clean bathrooms and spacious, private campsites, making it a great spot for families and nature enthusiasts. While some facilities could use improvement, such as the bathroom hooks and the absence of firewood for sale, the overall experience remains positive, with friendly hosts and a peaceful atmosphere.

Great campground and mountain biking / hiking trails. We have a great time every time here. However, the fact that hunting is allowed on these trails is crazy. This is a designated recreation area with large numbers of kids and families and knowing people are literally shooting in these woods is scary. Fortunately this isn’t an everyday occurrence. If the forest service didn’t allow hunting here this would be a five star spot.

This is a great waterfront site. The parking pad is flat and there are steps down to the fire pit/cooking grate and picnic table. The bathhouse is a short walk away and was clean and well-maintained. The mountain biking trails there are easy and fast. Never saw the camp host on site; I figured since the campground is about to close for the season, they must have headed to Florida!

Great family campsite. Bathroom facilities well maintained. Rustic campsites are spacious with easy access to potable water. The lake and scenary are beautiful, and my two grandsons had a wonderful time.

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.
