Honestly, we had a lovely time. It was a trade-off to park my little trailer on the asphalt and have to walk down steps to the campsite, but C loop was quiet, and the campsites are not on top of each other like A and B loops. It was also nice to have a short walk to the lake, and to be able to keep our kayaks down by the water. We plan on returning again!

Had a wonderful time during our stay at Jackrabbit campground. We love how peaceful it is. A great place to do our daily walks. We camp at least 3 times per season at Jackrabbit.

The sites are nice with much desired shade in the summer. Bathroom shower and sink pressure in Loop C was not strong.

Very pretty location, nice sites, clean and spacious. We were expecting to meet the Host Couple, but they came to welcome us or get us registered. We saw the gentleman riding by our site once each evening, waving as he buzzed past. We suppose he was busy elsewhere throughout the day and maybe the only one working all week. The facilities were really nice as was the beach area. We appreciated the efforts made to make Jackrabbit Mountain Rec Area a comfortable vacation location.

Quiet, clean, beautiful. The lake is right there to swim. And then the kids can ride bikes around the campground and the mountain bike trails.

We rented sites 3 & 4 for a family camp. Not bad located directly behind camp host only has one tent area, all other ground, not suitable for tent. Hard to set kitchen up due to lack of flat area to do so. Not a bad walk to shower/bath houses. Several
Steps to access site. Nice trees, for hammock options, kept the men happy.
