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.

Campground is excellent. Nice spaces but generator rules are not enforced. Some campers next to us ran their generators all day.

I LOVED my stay at Jackrabbit as always!
The only reason I gave a 3 star review is that I mentioned some poison ivy that was *everywhere* on the two sites we had booked
I would have appreciated if the camp hosts had taken this more seriously when I bought it up.

Very awesome, my camp had access to the lake. We got our kayaks and paddled most of the time. Had shade and used insect repellent candles
Had access to shower and bathrooms and they were clean.
At times you can hear the next camp but trees and elevation were perfect cover.
Were able to park a car and truck in designated Parking provided with camp. Had a extra car and there was additional parking place not too far from the site. Hosts are sweet and very knowledgeable.
Caution no fire wood at the campground. There is a gas station 3-5 mi away from the campground that had wood.
We enjoyed the stay and decompressed

The campground itself is nice and the lake is gorgeous. The women's bathroom in group C was gross and clearly had not been cleaned in a while. Our campsite was very clean however in the pictures and on the map it didn't show that there was another camping space not 20 ft from our firepit. Although they were very nice, they were loud until 3 am. With a low noise policy beginning at 10 pm, it would have been nice to have the attendees check in to see if there were any disturbances and keep it enforced. Better pictures/descriptions for the camping site would be very helpful in choosing a space that is more suitable for the experience we were hoping for. Overall, I would recommend Jackrabbit Campground and we will be back just not to the campsite we'd originally visited.
