We had a great weekend camping at Jack Rabbit campground. It was a last minute trip but there were still multiple sites available. The one we originally booked in loop C wouldn’t work for our group as it was in the middle of the loop and we needed something lake front so we could pull our boat up. We were able to change our site easily upon arriving and was given a refund for the other site. Bath house and restrooms were clean. We will be back.

Site 88 has no gravel on the tent pad and ends up being a muddy puddle when it rains which it does quite often there.

Site 9 gave us access to our kayaks at any time. Bathrooms and showers are private and close by.
