Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
The campground is a convenient base for water-focused recreation on Lake Chatuge, which boasts more than 130 miles of shoreline and ample space for boating, jet skiing, swimming and fishing; anglers and boaters can launch from the campground's ramp and shoreline fishing is also an option. Trails fanning out from the Jackrabbit Recreation Area accommodate hikers and bring mountain bikers onto roughly 14 miles of bike-friendly singletrack, while the paved loops inside the campground are friendly to casual cycling and family outings.














Length limits vary by campsite.

“Absolutely beautiful campground! The lake and mountain views are awesome! Clean bathrooms. Friendly people.”
“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!”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (21,789 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
