It was gorgeous here. There were a few people but no one bothered us. we had a blast!

@MaryF8191441 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #7

Favorite campgrounds! We love the incredible views and access to the trails. The sites are level, generously sized, and they arent on top of each other.

@Stephanie51348 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #69

Tent site was well maintained and the neighbors were lovely

Had an excellent short weekend! The campsites were generally private and the Loop B was nice and quiet. The view was very nice and the bathrooms/shower rooms were within a reasonable walking distance. The only thing is, when you go to take a shower sometimes you have to wait a good few minutes for the water to get warm enough to jump in. Fantastic experience overall and cant wait to be back!

Came to ride the mountain bike trails and they were great. Glad to see they had made the trails come right out of the campground.

Clean scenic area

Great location on Lake Chatuge, love it!

@SydneyPFF669A9 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #72

We loved it. We've camped here for several years and this visit was wonderful as always. The camp host was friendly and helpful. The sites were clean. The place is beautiful! We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, bike riding, cooking out. We'll certainly be back.

@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #90

@DebriaFC1BA63D · Camped on Jul 30, 2024 at Campsite #11

That was our fourth year there. We are very happy with the facility and location! Thank you!

@FaithL8477615 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #25

As always a great experience. The camp host was very kind and helpful when needed.

@BarbieG088B2DC · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #17

We stayed at Jackrabbit Campground for 2 nights. Our sight 17A was on the water with a nice view, but not easy access to the water. The site is large and far enough away from other sites. The restrooms had running water but are older so water flow at the sink was low. There are showers but we didn't use them. We'd definitely go back when we're in the area.

@DevonM7962081 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #71

Loved our trip to jackrabbit!

@KellyW1008717 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #66

We had a fantastic long weekend in the B Loop of Jackrabbit Mountain Campground. Great paddleboarding and hiking on the hikers-only trails. The campsites and bathrooms were very well-maintained. Wonderful place.

@ErikaL2819975 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #5

Short stay, but enjoyed the hot shower and views of the lake.

@CindyM6464978 · Camped on Jun 18, 2024 at Campsite #12

I love it there. My only complaint is that many people reserve sites on the water, but then dont show up and those sites are empty. They are prime sites. Can anything be done?

@TimothySE6DEBB · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #62

Great experience. Weather was very cooperative. Campsite was clean. Restrooms were clean. One restroom did have an issue but was repaired soon after. Would be nice if some of the sites were standard electric. Dump station was easily accessed.

@EricN5725814 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #86

Really nice. Just wish there was electric.

@MLWCD3C7AEF94C · Camped on Jun 13, 2024 at Campsite #60

Love this campground. Great place to gather with friends. Lake is lovely. Unfortunately there are always late night partiers who wish to make sure the entire campground can hear their every word. Camp host should be enforcing the quiet after10 PM rule without me having to get out of my sleeping bag at 11 PM. Also, the boats that travel too fast in no wake zones should know better. Wish the shower/bath house in loop B could be in working order. Same condition as last season :{

@EdmundS6F41DE0 · Camped on Jun 4, 2024 at Campsite #29

Fishing was good! Bass and Hybrids! Fished from a kayak. Most enjoyable. Great biking trails, one of the best trails I have ever rode. Helen Georgia was a great day trip.

@RyanW7011906 · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #91

This is not a true RV site. I repeat, this is not a true RV site!!Background: a group of friends decide to go camping for a weekend. Most have tents, 2 have a pop-up and travel trailer and 1 has a huge RV.The 'pup and TT got this site and one next to it. It's literally parking your trailer on the road because the actual site is up some stairs/on a hill. I assume they say it's for small RVs cause you can fit your vehicle in the same space.Our friends tent site was gorgeous though. Down some stairs, a big open gravel area, next to the lake. Very beautiful. The larger RV spot was nice as well because it was specifically for an RV.My stars would be higher but we had to literally camp on the road and then got a talking to by the host cause... our kids and dogs were in the road. Come on.

@Marguerit98981 · Camped on May 27, 2024 at Campsite #5

Beautiful view. Lovely park.

@PattiS03543072 · Camped on May 19, 2024 at Campsite #77

I was on site 77 and had a hard time as I am handicapped. I didn't realize it had steps. I was planning to tent camp but had to unload my car and take everything up the steps. I had planned on using my SUV with a net tent to set up my kitchen area and sitting area. I was not able to use it as the car was parked at the steps. This site had 2 areas where I could have driven up to the camp site and not have to carry everything up and down those stairs. I think that was a poorly planned site. Also, most campers now have power stations that need charged. the only power plugs were at the pavilion and had to be shared. Only 2 plugs and I had to carry my Jackary power station all the way to the pavilion. The bathrooms had power, why not put plugs on the building to be used. Otherwise the campground was beautiful and well maintained. I would return but too many stairs. I know it is in the mountains but and stairs are needed in some spots but looking at this one I was surprised it wasn't more user friendly.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
