Jackrabbit Campground is a wonderful place to camp. There are so many activities---hiking, biking, kayaking, swimming! The lake and sunset views are breath taking!

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 campground has become our happy place. It is family friendly and we always have a great time. We came once a month for 5 months, twice in one of those months! Only complaint would be the first B loop bathroom was reliably filthy and without toilet paper on every single visit. The sink did not work in one of the stalls 2 weeks ago and the shower was essentially useless. It was strange bc none of the other campground bathrooms were as bad as that one at any point. Make sure you always have a spare roll with you:)

The mountain biking and hiking is great. It was beautiful on the lake with the fall leaves changing colors. We were in C loop. Note that NONE of the water spigots have threads on them. They have all been filed off intentionally to prevent RVs from filling their tanks there. There is fresh water at the dump station; which we were not aware of, and there’s no signage. We saw this as we dumped on the way out, and it would have saved us a lot of time and hassle with 2 of us - one trying to hold the hose tightly to the spigot while the other turned on the water just below the pressure that it sprayed all over us. It took 30 minutes in the dark to get enough water in the tank for our two days.
Then we had a group of 3 families at the site next to us who were up by 6:30am and allowed their kids to scream at the top of their lungs, and we were awoken the second day by kids jumping up and down in an aluminum canoe while the parents did nothing. At night, a group of partying guys yelled and laughed drunkenly until the early hours of the morning. We called the park manager, and the camp hosts had been let go due to some problems, so there was no quiet time enforcement.
I might consider returning for the mountain biking trails, but my wife said she would not camp there again.

We loved the campground! Especially the B and C loops. We walked all the loops and picked out favorite sites for return trips. The only problem was the bathrooms across from #64. The right toilet didn't have any water to the sink. The left shower was dripping pretty badly and the room was steamy from the hot water. I was able to fix the push style handles to stop the flow. But after that there wasn't any hot water in either shower and the big building with the 4 toilets and showers didn't have hot water either the rest of our stay. I was told by one of the park officials, that they have small individual hot water heaters.
We even came back for one night to #74 to visit friends we made the first time.
Over all beautiful location and great sites.
We'll be coming back!
Thanks

Beautiful fall foliage with many campsites by the water. There are hiking trails with access both from the campground and more close by. We greatly enjoyed our stay at Jackrabbit Mountain in our 18' camper trailer!
