Site 5 was raining acorns this time so I moved, otherwise the campground is wonderful, the other campers quiet and enjoying a well cared for environment. The swimming is fantastic, the bathhouses spotless too. Some cell service too. The staff can’t change sites locally and the call center said they couldn’t either which makes no sense since the rules say they can for a reason that’s beyond anyone’s control. I hope that’s fixed.

Third time bringing a group here. Always lovely, got two sites on the lake and one interior loop. Beautiful view and clean sites. Bathrooms could use a little TLC. Toilet flush valve came out of the toilet and only one sink faucet handle actually let water out. I was expecting to see some signs of Helen impacts, but didn't see any, which was unexpectedly pleasant!

Campgrounds were well taken care of. The views over the lake were fantastic. It was a great experience for me and my boys on their first camping trip.

The campground was not crowded but it was also a very rainy week. Was looking forward to riding the trails, too wet

The campsite was good and easy to be able to set up. Even though the lake was down a little bit, I still had a view of the water. The bathroom was clean but the only issue was the sink didn’t work well and needs to be addressed. It was nice to relax and enjoy my weekend except for the screaming teenage girls staying at the campsites next to mine.

As our daughter was in site 46 and we were in site 45, there was quite a bit of distance between the two sites. In looking at the map when we chose these spots, we thought they would be closer together, but we had to walk up a bank to get to her site. This made it difficult considering we were cooking our meals together and we were the only ones with the cooking stove, but she had the majority of the food. Access to the lake was impossible with a pontoon from this site due to the fact that the lake was lower so we couldn't get our pontoon for fear of either getting stuck in the mud or pulling mud into the motor. The kids that were at various sites in the campground began to ride their bikes and scream around 7:30 a.m. on Saturday morning which made for sleeping in impossible. Some of the campers came over in front of our campsite to play some kind of golf because their campsite was too close to the water, which made it impossible for us to enjoy our view for listening to them critiquing their golf game. Other than that, it was our first visit to Jack Rabbit Campground but really thought it would be less busy due to the time we were there. The supervisor was extremely nice however when we asked if there were any other sites we could move to due to the distance apart from our daughter. Having the bath house close by was a great help, however, when the kids were riding their bikes they were not paying attention to people crossing the road and one just about hit me as I was trying to get across the road before he got too close.
