Just returned from another great trip at the Rifle River Campground. We have been going with a group that has been going there for the last 20 years. We stayed in one of their newer cabins and they are great! Perfect size and located right off the water. The owners are great and its family owned which is part of the reason we come back. The showers and bathrooms are very clean! The office/store has everything you could think of in case you forgot something. Very easy check in/check out process. Highly recommend!

This campground offers sites for tents and RVs, has water and electrical hookups available, and has bathhouses (if you can call them that). You can also rent canoes, kayaks, and inner tubes to traverse the river with; they drop you off upstream and you bank right at the campground for them to collect the various watercraft. There are fire pits placed periodically around the camp, however, they do not correspond to specific sites and are communal with whatever sites are nearby. While the views of the river are great from the majority of sites, the entire campground is on a hill. There are few - if any - level areas to camp, and very few hammock-friendly trees. The staff are crotchety and disorganized; they will give you one answer one hour and a different answer the next; they add charges on for every little thing (including showers & firewood - you cannot bring in your own), while the cost to rent a site is exorbitantly expensive (compared to other, comparable sites) to begin with. We attempted to rent kayaks; they were out and told us that we would have had to reserve a year and a half in advance, while others of our group managed to rent them with no problem. The times for the bus to take us upstream were constantly changing with no notification Standard policies such as amounts necessary to rent a site, security deposits, minimum nights required, and how many people were allowed per site were also fluctuating depending on who you inquired with and when you did so. It must be said that when we camped there the camp was far from full, so an overwhelming number of campers could not be to blame at the time. I would not recommend this campsite or canoe livery to anyone.

I have now been there twice, once in May and again in June with 8 year old daughter. Both times we enjoyed the campground. While i do have to agree on the June trip the office was a bit unorginized with the canoe trips but it was a last minute change as the river was WAY high and the current was much faster than normal. The 5 hour canoe trip took us less than 3 hours and it was not stop steering as the river was moving so fast. We had campers all around us and even a group of mid 20's and it was not bad at all, yes you may have a few rowdy folks but the over all experience was good. We are actually going back again this weekend so nothing has scared us away yet.

Love coming here to camp. We are always well taken care of by the staff, our experiences have always been pleasant, we have always been very happy. Don't bring small children to this camp ground though. Lot's of younger people partying and getting a little wild. If you want one giant party then this is the place you want to be. Everyone pretty much gets to know each other and we all have bean bag toss "tournaments", ladder ball, beer pong and what ever other games other people bring to play. We were here for 4th of July 2016 and it was our best experience so far. Don't remember a whole lot of the tubing trip though, we drank fire ball most of the way down...lol
