Cedar Campground

Our first visit to Rifle Gap, and we really enjoyed our time. The reservoir is nice and we enjoyed the swim beach and fishing. The camping spots are similar to the ones in all the state parks, which means they're functional and consistent, without being fancy. And reasonably priced.

Cedar Campground was a great camping experiance.
We drove in from Denver and the drive to Rifle Gap State Park from New Castle was beautiful driving past some ranches and along a little river. The campground was more desert than mountians, but that was great for time on the lake, which has a lovely teal color on a bright clear day. There isn't much shade or trees so make sure to bring your easy up and camping umbrellas. Most people were in campers so it was very quite in the evenings. The bathrooms had running water and quarter operated showers which are a godsend after a hot sunny day on the water.
The western slope is beautiful with Easy and fun hiking. Will be coming back to Cedar Campground. :)

Rifle Gap State Park has a spectacular scenery and their campsites are kept really clean, they have several spots with amazing views of the lake! The camp hosts were great! Very friendly and helpful!

Beautiful campground in the hills of Colorado overlooking Rifle Gap and a reservoir. The sites are well taken care of as are the restrooms. We stayed in site 69 which is the highest site in the loop and had a doe and fawn visit us several times. Loved the covered picnic table in each site, which I believe was the first time I have ever had this feature in any of the hundreds of campgrounds I have stayed in.

Wish I had swimsuit and kayak. Would have been great. Quiet, clean, and scenic.

The view is great, simple tent spot with campfire and parking spot is $25 total (including $7 parking overnight at camp spot)
Plenty of other spots available with running water and electric plug in.(between $5-10 extra a night) Showers are $1 for 4 minutes, the area is clean and we were there when it was nearly empty which is always a bonus during camping. I will be back sometime in this lifetime... Beautiful location next to the reservoir

This place is super fun. It has a lot of stuff to do and it has an excellent view. There are quite a bit of children but if you like that then it's not a bad place. There didn't seem to be any bears so that a plus. And we had an annoying dog but no one complained so all is good!

It was a nice and relaxing evening, very quite, clean, and not to close to each other.

We only went to have a campfire and roast marshmallows, so I can't speak for anything else. It's a great area bit there can be some decent traffic going to and from the reservoir.

Great for big buses

Nice price, great facilities, best hot showers.

Great view. Can't really get closer to water. Campsites 61, 62 and 63 are the best.

The rules are fair at the site and ther are great views of the lake no matter where you are set up.

Sandy the host amazing surrounding campers so friendly everyone should go there

Our camp host Bobby and his wife were fantastic

GREAT PLACE for camping and / or elk hunting! This is the "High Country" and BIG! AND AWE INSPIRING!
