This was a great campground. The host was extremely kind and helpful. I will be back next year for sure. Planned to stay a day and ended up staying for longer than a week.

Jackrabbit Mountain Campground offers a fantastic camping experience with clean facilities, friendly hosts, and beautiful lakeside views. Visitors appreciate the well-maintained sites, access to recreational activities like biking, swimming, and kayaking, and the peaceful atmosphere. While there are some concerns regarding bathroom maintenance and noise from motorboats, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.

We enjoyed tenting next to the beautiful lake. Initially, we were surprised to see there were steps down to our tent pad. This seems to be true for all sights except the handicap sites. As the park was relatively deserted, we had a wonderfully private campsite.
The hosts were nice but unobtrusive.
The bathrooms need maintenance. Sink faucets did not work. One shower ran for 2 days continuously even though it was unoccupied. The upper showers would shut off after 20 to 30 seconds so to shower required continuous turning on the water. Overall the cleanliness of bathrooms was lacking - cobwebs, mud, etc.
The Jackrabbit Mtn trail near the entrance was a very enjoyable hike. The trail is well maintained but not crowded.

Campground was clean, peaceful, and close to empty during the week. We did have to find a farther water spigot for a tank fill as the one closest to us had the threads stripped.

Bliss on a lake - BLISS ON A LAKE.
This campground is awesome. Plenty of space for me right beside the lake. The bathrooms and showers were exceptionally clean.
I camped here alone as a single female and felt incredibly safe and comfortable.
I'll be coming back!

Overall it’s a great location with water access. The bathrooms could be cleaned more frequently and restocked with toilet paper which ran out a few times.

This is a fabulous place for families, especially with kids and it’s become a summer tradition. This time we had our grandkids a large friendly dog, 5 kayaks, 6 bicycles, 2 adjoining campsites, our own beach and friendly camp-neighbors. The camp hosts were easy-going, welcoming and kept the whole site well. The lake is beautiful. Only down side is that Friday nights are a noisy party scene with the loud boats that come too close to the camp shoreline. Campers were all respectful of quiet hours - boaters? … not. Overall, it’s a great place and we’ll return.

Beautiful campground with well-placed level sites that are not too close together. Quiet in the evenings with clean bath facilities that make for an overall enjoyable camping experience. Excellent swimming area and handicapped accessible fishing pier. Grounds are well-maintained and clean.
