Jackrabbit Mountain

Great place if you like to mountain bike.

Broncos for the best hamburgers

Great family campsite. Bathroom facilities well maintained. Rustic campsites are spacious with easy access to potable water. The lake and scenary are beautiful, and my two grandsons had a wonderful time.

This is a great waterfront site. The parking pad is flat and there are steps down to the fire pit/cooking grate and picnic table. The bathhouse is a short walk away and was clean and well-maintained. The mountain biking trails there are easy and fast. Never saw the camp host on site; I figured since the campground is about to close for the season, they must have headed to Florida!

Great campground and mountain biking / hiking trails. We have a great time every time here. However, the fact that hunting is allowed on these trails is crazy. This is a designated recreation area with large numbers of kids and families and knowing people are literally shooting in these woods is scary. Fortunately this isn’t an everyday occurrence. If the forest service didn’t allow hunting here this would be a five star spot.

Absolutely beautiful campground! The lake and mountain views are awesome! Clean bathrooms. Friendly people.

Love Jack Rabbit. Tried the loop with site 90 for the first time. This loop is much quieter. I usually stay on loop with site 55. Bathrooms are always clean. Sites on the lake seem to all have trail access to the water. Mtn bike trails are great there. Def worth the trip!

Arrived in the evening and found an RV parked at my site I had reserved, this RV had nobody in it. There was no host on site and nobody answered the number to call. It began getting dark and I had nowhere to go and had to pay for another site in order to have a place to set up my tent before daylight ran out.

Excellent campground! We tent-camped in site 70, which bordered the lake so it was great views from the campsite and easy to access for walks along the beach. Bathrooms were clean and in good condition and also a short walk from the campsite (but FYI there is no soap). The proximity to Hiawassee was also nice since we still had access to town amenities while having the opportunity to be secluded in nature. Also, for awareness to future visitors: there is no firewood for sale at the campground. We had to buy some at some at the Ingles grocery store in town.

The trails at JackRabbit are top notch; fun, flowy, challenging, not scary. The campsites are well spaced. Nice to wake up to fog over the lake.

Nice tent pads with post and hooks
Many of the camp sites were screened by vegetation from neighboring sites
Beautiful lake views
Many hiking trails nearby, including some with great waterfalls
Close (~6 mi) from Hiwassee, GA and several restaurants and stores
Water available across the road at a spigot

Cons
Bathroom was somewhat rudimentary. Neither the toilet room nor the shower room had any hooks to hang anything. The bathroom hand dryer didn’t work and no paper towels
The shower was nice. Water was hot and there were two spigots, one down low.
Most of the campsites in C loop had stairs down to the tent pad so you couldn’t park adjacent to the tent
The campsites inside the C loop were very exposed with not much vegetation to screen them from view and most had stairs to them
