Cedar Campground

Cedar Campground at Rifle Gap State Park offers a prime Colorado camping experience, balancing scenic reservoir views with easy access to outdoor recreation. This well-maintained campground features electrical hookups, clean facilities, and a mix of shaded and open sites that can accommodate various camping setups.

Perched on a hillside overlooking Rifle Gap Reservoir, Cedar Campground provides campers with panoramic vistas of the water and surrounding mountains. The campground's layout takes advantage of the terrain, with many sites offering unobstructed views that are particularly stunning at sunrise and sunset. Despite its proximity to the reservoir, the elevated position helps mitigate humidity and mosquitoes often associated with waterfront camping.

Located just 13 miles north of Rifle, Colorado, Cedar Campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the Western Slope region. The 360-acre Rifle Gap Reservoir is a focal point for water-based activities, while the nearby Rifle Falls State Park showcases a unique triple waterfall. The White River National Forest, with its extensive trail system and diverse wildlife, is within a short drive, offering additional opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing.
