Nearly 7 acres overlooking the White River on the edge of White River National Forest. Bordering a wildlife preserve which offers nearly a mile of public fishing on the White River and Coal Creek. Take your UTV/ATV to town or for a day ride upriver directly from the campsite as the camp is situated on the OHV trail that extends from town (2 miles from the campsite) to the White River National Forest (more than 40 miles up the river). Incredible views and wildlife galore. Turkeys often rest in the trees across the river, and it is not uncommon to watch deer tangle antlers during the rut. Eagles nest in the trees across the river and are often seen fishing from the trees directly across from the campsite. The sunsets from this campsite will leave you breathless. Nothing better than camping, relaxing or fishing on the White River!

The Ute Lodge was homesteaded in the 1930’s by Joe Fox who after leaving the military came west to settle in the White River valley. Joe was known for his friendliness, hospitality and wild stories. Today you might find much of the same. From Joe’s day to today it is a place where families come together to get away. The Ute Lodge is now owned by Karl and Mona Maser who celebrated 20 years of ownership summer of 2019! All summer our cabins are filled with guests from all over the US as well as international travelers. One of our favorite things about the summer is our weekly potlucks where we all share an outdoor meal. All of our visitors have a standing invitation to join us around the community campfire at night. From our beautiful private lake (where you can paddle-board, kayak and fish), to immediate access to the Papoose and Crooks Park Trails on National Forest land, as well as the vast variety of wildlife that roams around, you can find what you need here to unplug and get away from it all.

Rio Blanco Beautiful View!

16. Rio Blanco Beautiful View!

28mi from Rifle Falls State Park · 1 site · Lodging · Meeker, CO
If Rio Blanco near the town of Meeker Coloraodo, is where you are headed out to, there's a Beautiful view from this "Dry cabin" with a cute and rustic feeling screen porch, by an interesting mountain with a rocky wall and hillside right outside the door, and overlooking the White River, and Beautiful green hills and mountains and much of the time- prettier and blue skies. We offer a peaceful, humble and quiet, furnished, yet not insulated just yet, 12X30, new structure that is categorized presently as a dry cabin with two full beds that are both working as hide-a-beds, where there are two screened windows and a fun screen room attached to the small but comfortable little covered porch. While we have plans for more developing in the future, we ourselves are in the process of working into our own plans for the overall site. Right now, a peaceful night's sleep is much of the idea of this stay. While there is some noise from the highway that runs near the property, it gears much towards agricultural travel, such as semi trucks headed to and from from the area. While we always will have handwashing water and a bottle of drinking water, we are in the process of developing, which REQUIRES that anyone who reserves is ALREADY equipped with sufficient drinking, any cooking water- and any necessary washing water for their overnight staying. There is a plug, small coffeemaker, and microwave which are within the structure. Some paper towels or napkins and a tissue box are provided. While much of the time, there are ample hand towels for some convenience and extra older sleeping bags, it is not our responsibility at this time to "provide linens". Trained pet may accompany a guest, and are not the responsibility in ANY WAY of the management. Parents or guardians are completely responsible for any children or guest that accompanies them. At this time, this structure is only for people who can walk up a 100 foot, small hill without any assistance that is not already accompanying them. Owners are not responsible for providing night time bright lights. While there is always a lamp it doesn't always provide enough light for some. There is no cooling system within the structure, and only overnight is cool in the summer-(Checkout is before 10 AM).

The best camping in Rifle Falls State Park, CO guide

Overview

About

Situated in Western Colorado, not far from the White River National Forest, Rifle Falls State Park is a pretty, compact spot that attracts anglers, hikers, campers, and anyone who appreciates a good waterfall. The park's star attraction is its namesake Rifle Falls, a 70-foot-high triple cascade that tumbles down into East Rifle Creek. Many visitors also take a little time to explore the park’s limestone cave system or hike up to the top of the falls. Camping here is available throughout the year, and the park offers 20 walk-in tent sites and RV sites with electric hookups.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for RV camping: The park’s Drive-in RV/Tent Campsites come with 30-amp electrical outlets and fire rings.
  • Best for peace and quiet: The seven Walk-in Tent Campsites at the park offer a more natural experience for tent campers, with direct creek access.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve a campsite by calling Colorado Parks and Wildlife or using their online reservation system.
  2. Reservations can be made up to six months in advance. Same-day reservations are also available online, over the phone, and in person.

When to go

Rifle Falls is a year-round attraction, though it's at its busiest in the summertime—if you do want to come in summer, try to arrive early to snag a parking spot. Late spring is a great time to visit, when there's plenty of waterflow and generally pleasant weather, while winter snowfall gives the waterfalls an otherworldly feel. The campgrounds are open throughout the year, but running water is only available in the late spring through early autumn.

Know before you go

  • The nearest place to stock up on groceries and supplies is in Rifle, about a 25-minute drive from the park.
  • Rifle Falls gets very busy in the summer months and non-campers will be turned away if the parking area is full.
  • Parking is not included in camping fees. All campers will need to display single-day or annual parking passes, available online and in person.
  • Campsite #2, in the Drive-in RV/Tent Campsites area, is ADA-accessible.
  • The park offers year-round camping, but water is shut off between November and the middle of April.
