Michigan and watersports go hand-in-hand. Rifle River Resort in Sterling offers the unique benefit of being located right on the Rifle River. Within the resort, you can rent canoes or tubes. Hop onto the bus and we'll take you to your starting point on the river and you can row or float you way right back to the resort! Once you've spent your day on the water, you can enjoy all that the resort has to offer. Relax in the hot tub or pool. Fish on the river bank or at the pond. Shoot some hoops or join in on the fun with our activities staff and other guests. Then head to your campsites or rental unit, start your campfire, roast marshmallows, and enjoy the company of your family and friends!
From jct US 23 & Hwy I-75: Go 7 mi N on I-75 (exit 195), then 1-1/2 mi E on Sterling Rd, then 3 mi N on School Rd/Melita Rd.
This is a great place to camp with lots to do. The people here are very friendly and helpful. I will be going back. The river was amazing, Such a great run
I dislike to write bad reviews, but people need a heads up before they waste their time taking their family for a fun camping trip. Place was over crowded, very little parking and a handful of the staff were rude. We got charged for two tubes that had slow leaks in them when all we did is rent a cooler. I and so many other people at the camp site had these kinds of issues. The staff at the store were the rudest. This place is not a family type place to take kids. Several camp sites had fights that broke out with screaming and foul language. Security didn't show up for 30 minutes and very little was done. Hopefully they clean up the place and get friendly staff.
For a campground and for the location it was pretty much what I was asking for certain things could be changed.
Bathroom and shower facilities could be upgraded at least wax rings replaced on toilet 🚽.
Manager at rifle River location really friendly
Really professional he knows his Park.
One more thing I wish they were less Karen's here this is a campground is not a resort !!! I know people come camping but they should remove the stick before camping thank you 🙂 ...
There are far more accepting places near by!
I don’t even know where to begin, the lady that works in the front office might actually be one of the most passive aggressive individuals I have ever talked to in my life.
Some of my friends and I decided to take a trip Friday-Sunday staying at this camp ground, something we were looking forward to for over a month now. We are all in our mid twenties, from the very get go they made sure to let us know we weren’t welcome. At 10pm Friday night they told us our music was too loud and to shut it off… come to find out they went to the campsites around us asking other campers if we specifically were being too loud, of which the other campers confirmed they were confused on why they were targeting us. We took a tubing trip today (Saturday) and one of our friends got a tube that was damaged but the bus drove away before we could tell them. They proceeded to charge us $20 for a tube they fixed in a matter of seconds. Not to mention you have to use their hose to wash off your tube after your trip! Yeah that’s not included in the money you’re spending already! They also upped their prices yet you must take your own trash to their dumpsters and if you choose to leave any trash on the site there’s a fine.
I understand not everyone in their mid twenties behaves according to adult standards, however we were more than respectful towards the staff, until we were targeted primarily for our age. We even packed up and left a day early! We just came to the conclusion it wasn’t worth staying somewhere you felt uncomfortable although we payed for two nights.
Spend your money at the nearby campgrounds! Whites is awesome! We will never be camping here again and definitely won’t recommend.
