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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.
