"This place is absolutely incredible! The cleanliness and impeccable maintenance of the sites, along with the convenience of full hook-ups, make it a top-notch destination. The spaciousness of each site ensures ample privacy, allowing you to fully unwind. The stunning view adds another layer of beauty to the experience. Additionally, the reliable Starlink connection is a major plus, keeping you connected even in such a serene environment. There's never a dull moment here, with plenty of activities to choose from. Whether you're into invigorating hikes, thrilling water sports, or simply indulging in relaxation while savoring the breathtaking view, this place has it all. The sunsets are truly awe-inspiring and will leave you breathless. While there are a few minor challenges to consider, they are easily manageable. The occasional strong winds warrant some caution when it comes to keeping your awning secure, ensuring a worry-free stay. It's worth noting that the cell service can be a bit unreliable at times, but with such a remarkable setting, it presents an opportunity to disconnect and embrace the tranquility."

"One of the most beautiful places Jaxx and I have visited. The falls were spectacular and interactive, meaning you get close enough to shower. Restrooms were clean and park staff get 5 of 5 stars."

"We had a beautiful and very clean campground in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed swimming and kayaking in the lake. We enjoyed geocaching. Love that the island in the middle of the lake has picnic tables and wish we knew beforehand so we could have planned a picnic meal on the island. We happened to be camping here during a meteor shower on a clear night. We were treated to quite the show. It is so dark at Rifle Gap, (though not a certified dark sky) that my partner and I both experienced phenomena we have never experienced before such as the stars twinkling , and stars appearing to move around in place. We looked up that this happens in darker places as the atmosphere scrambles the light from the star. We also saw very bright streaks of shooting stars and very big shooting starts. The pinion loop is a great place for star gazing, will never forget our experience camping at rifle gap."

"Rifle Gap State Park and the reservoir are a delightful place to visit. There are numerous vantage points to view the water and mountains by car, a cool trail that circles the water, and of course access to the reservoir for boats. The water was beautiful and high, though I heard it was low for a while due to drought. Many people were fishing, so I assume it's a good spot for that though I didn't have any gear along. Definitely worth the short drive from town."

"Beautiful State Park in Rifle not very far from Rifle Falls. It would make a beautiful picnic and swim Beach experience. Great place for family to hang out. Your park pass is $10 make sure you take cash if the park ranger is not there. They have bathrooms and tables in a shaded area . I wish I had more time to explore this place. Next time I go I'm going to spend more time here."
