This is our third year at Jackrabbit and we love the campsites and access to water/mountain biking, but the bathrooms/showers were a little gross - garbage was overflowing, there wasn't any hand soap, several toilets were clogged, and shower faucet were hard to turn on/off.

We Love it here! The sites are pretty big and somewhat private.
The fact that there is access to the lake to kayak, swim or float, boat is a bonus as well.
The bathrooms are clean, the showers are hot ( maybe too hot) according to my husband 🤣. We will continue to come back to Jack Rabbit!!!

Drove 10 hours to find out that e-bikes are not allowed
on the Jackrabbit bike trails. Research never indicated that such restrictions were in place. Campground was in good shape and the bathrooms were clean.

Site was clean when I arrived. There was a path right behind my campsite that ended in a beautiful lakefront water view. I brought my chair and worked remotely next to the water. At campsite 1 bar T-Mobile service but at lake 2 Bars super fast 5g. Bathrooms were clean. Hike from trailhead 1 mi down the road was fantastic. Only complaint is that sites are too close to each other.
