Many campers appreciate the clean bathrooms and spacious, private campsites, making it a great spot for families and nature enthusiasts.

JackRabbit is a wonderful place to camp and has great hiking trails so close by. It was our first time camping there, after living in the area part-time for 13+ years. The camp hosts were very nice as well.

There is no place like Jackrabbit. I have been going there since I was a kid, took my kids and now my grandkids. Have never had a bad experience in over 40 years.

We had a tree fall on our truck while we were there. The camp hosts, wildlife people were great. It did take a very long time for Clay county sheriff’s office to send a deputy but it wasn’t an emergency. Campground and bathrooms are clean. The bathroom doors slam shut and that could be dangerous for fingers and doors slamming are very loud at night!

We camped at C89 and C90, these sites are fantastic, they are lower down and feel private as they are surrounded by trees. Conveniently they also had a small path between them so it's fantastic when camping together with friends and family.

We were able to get a lake front spot A5. It was very nice and shady. Our camp spot was pretty big too. We did have to walk down a little trail to get to the lake. We had a great week camping. Bell Mountain and Brasstown Bald are both a must see.

Love this campground as it’s an hour and a half drive and on a lake. Most campsites are well maintained and have lots of trees, keeping the sun from bearing down. Bathrooms are decent.
Wish that people had more respect of their fellow campers. Had to walk down two campsites and ask some people to lower their voices at 2 AM! Another ran their generator all night. Another let their dog bark for hours. And there are boats playing loud music late into the night or bass boats roaring into the cove at 5-6 AM. That cove should be closed to motor boat traffic.
It’s best to camp during the week as boat traffic is less and people are less obnoxious.
