Camp – Rifle Gap State Park

Join us for Memorial Day Weekend at Rifle Gap State Park. Bring your tent, RV, travel trailer, camping van, Subaru, or whatever else you want to sleep in. We'll be camping May 22-25 for three nights and we'll have optional hikes on Saturday and Sunday. You will need to make your own individual campsite reservation through Colorado Parks & Wildlife (cpw.state.co.us) for Rifle GAP State Park. We will not be at a group site, however, we'll have happy hour each evening at the leader's campsite. Bring your kayak or paddleboard (if you have it) and enjoy some lazy time on the reservoir. All water endeavors are considered non-CMC activities.
