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.

This was the most gorgeous campsite I've ever stayed at. I highly recommend reserving a site that's right next to the lake.

Great site! Perfect weather. A peaceful stay. It’s crowded on the weekends, but in September, it was almost empty on Monday!

We love Jackrabbit campground. We have stayed at 3 different sites so far on loop B. Love that we have had such great water access.The atmosphere at the camp ground is very quiet and peaceful.Bathrooms and shower houses are very clean.

Beautiful views conveniently located to shopping, restaurants, gas and groceries. Roomy, affordable non-electric campsites. Trails, firepit and relaxing. The loops I stayed in had a freindly camp host. Campfire wood was not available to purchase at the campground loops but is available at local stores so I had to go back out after checking in. There is a flush bathroom/shower house at the campground. I will go back. The only negative thing I can say is the last night of my stay I car camped (slept in my suv), packed up during day light so I could leave early and pack dry equipment. I had a random woman enter my campsite, walked up behind/beside my suv and around to the back to look in (hatch was up) acted startled when she saw me. Then asked if that was my campsite. Didn't identify herself as being park staff or anything else, said "my bad" and walked off. Unnerved me. Fyi: entering someones campsite uninvited is rude. IF she was staff, she should know to announce and identify herself. That one incident wouldn't keep me from giving the campground an exceptional review or keep me from returning. It was a perfect spot to get away for a few days.

The camp site was better than expected. It was large enough to accommodate out large three room cabin tent and the bathrooms were cleaned daily. Will definitely camp here again.

Great campground and super clean restrooms and showers. Some of the camp spots on the C loop are close together but overall great camp pads, table and fire pit. Would recommend B loop sites 46 and up. Lake is great just seems like October they lower the water level which puts you further away from the water's edge. Will be back for sure.
