Great campsite. Hot, clean showers. So glad to see lots of laughing children and families enjoying the outdoors. Peaceful sleep in my tent and awakened by a perky Caroline wren and melodic call of a wood thrush.

The campground was very nice, geared towards tent camping. My only complaint is the shower I used had a deep puddle of water where you change and dy off . There was no floor drain in tha area and the water was about an inch deep.

We love Jackrabbit. Ride the trails in the morning and swim all afternoon. The new friendly host is a plus.

Absolutely the best campground for waterfront sites and big clean lake to play in.

This is a great campground and many of the sites on the lakeside of the loops have good access to the lake. I love the miles of great trails to bike, hike and run on as well.

Beautiful campground with large sites. Bath house in C loop only had one functioning toilet. LOTS of noise from motor boats and jet skis on lake, especially during the weekend.

It's ALWAYS a 5 star experience at Jackrabbit Campground. We were in B loop, site 50, and had a great sunset view. It was clean, well attended to, and we were able to purchase firewood right at our site. The hosts are present and helpful. Water is easy to pump and the bathrooms are cleaned regularly. We could bike, walk our dog, swim, paddleboard, and canoe. You see so many fish and wildlife. Birds we saw: osprey, bald eagle, green heron, a snipe, mallards, a mallard momma and chicks, eastern kingbirds, catbirds, great crested flycatcher, pine warblers, fish crows, yellow-throated warblers. Just a perfect place to car, tent, or RV camp!
