About

Rifle Gap State Park features 89 campsites spread across five campgrounds along the north shore of a pristine 360-acre reservoir, surrounded by spectacular mountain vistas. The campgrounds can accommodate tents, motorhomes, and RVs, with wide-open sites that provide breathtaking views of the water and mountains. Walk-in tent sites are nestled among pinyon and juniper trees for added privacy. All campgrounds include restrooms, and most have coin-operated showers centrally located within each campground. The park's 1,305 acres offer excellent access to water-based recreation on the clear reservoir, including boating, swimming, water-skiing, and windsurfing. Fishing is popular year-round, with ice fishing available in winter. The park also provides hiking and picnicking opportunities throughout the property. Reservations are required for camping and can be made up to six months in advance. The park is open year-round with a check-in time of 1 p.m. and check-out at noon. Maximum stay is 14 days within a 28-day period, with up to six people allowed per campsite. Park gates are open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
