I wasn't familiar with campgrounds in the area. The thing that made me decide on this campground was they had a phone # and answered it. I didn't have to email them first. We got there later than we said we would. The ladies were very nice and were happy we made it. We had a spot right by the river with electricity and water. The Campground is very nice and very clean. Their bathrooms and showers weren't new, but they were very a clean. The ladies I met when we got here are the owners and are very nice. They told me their father built the campground over 50 years ago. When he passed at 92, his daughters took over the park. We stayed for 3 day and really enjoyed ourselves. We rented a kayak one day and floated down the beautiful river. We really like this campground and intend to comeback soon. I wonder if some of these bad reviews are for the River View campground which is next door. For one thing, the Rifle River Campground doesn't have a security guard on-site. Don't believe the bad reviews.
