Rifle Falls State Park’s lush vegetation and waterfalls have attracted photographers and movie crews from around the country who come to capture the area’s unique scenery.
The falls is a lush area of trees and greenery kept moist by the spray of the cascading triple waterfall. Picnicking near the falls is very popular. Mysterious limestone caves beneath the falls entice spelunkers and other curious visitors to explore their dark depths. Because of its dramatic setting, many weddings and events have been held at Rifle Falls.
Rifle Falls State Park has 13 drive-in and seven walk-in campsites that sit to the south along East Rifle Creek. In 1998, the park underwent a facelift: new pavement, picnic tables, interpretive signs and increased handicapped access. “Roughing it” is a little easier with electricity at many campsites. Walk-in tent sites and sites with electric hookups are also available in the winter.
Campers get a taste of the tropics when they arrive at Rifle Falls State Park. The greenery comes as a lush, gorgeous surprise to many visitors. A well-groomed hiking trail connects the triple waterfall to the campground. View the Rifle Falls Area Map for campsite and trail locations.
The drive-in RV/tent campsites include picnic tables, fire rings, 30 amp electrical outlets and increased handicapped access. Shared water hydrants are located throughout the park.
