We camped at Jackrabbit Mountain for 2 nights in late June and we’re blown away. We couldn’t believe that we were able to get a lakeside campsite without a reservation (we were there on a Wednesday and Thursday night.) We kayaked on the peaceful lake, hiked the extensive trail system throughout the park and swam each night we were there. We will definitely be back!
