My daughter and I camped here for the first time this past weekend and had a really great experience. We were meeting a large party but wanted our own space so the person we spoke with booked us a nice quiet spot the perfect size for our little camper. Everyone was courteous and helpful. The facilities and sites were clean and well maintained and we had a blast tubing down the river. We can’t wait to come back next year.

Only camped here once near the river. Lots are good size except hill is crazy sloped And almost impossible to level a trailer. There's a reason why the camp site was long. The spots we had were hard, and were not noted in booking the spots. We made it work but I would not park on the river again I would need crazy extra extensions for water and electric next time if I got the same spots. Otherwis... Only camped here once near the river.

The spots we had were hard, and were not noted in booking the spots. We made it work but I would not park on the river again I would need crazy extra extensions for water and electric next time if I got the same spots. Otherwise the place was quiet, nice to walk around. I'm going to tey again, in different spots this time. However, the road to get to this place sucks - gravel and dust everywhere. Need to clean your trailer and vehicle after driving down the road.

They lost a customer of four years now from this past weekend. We had a group of 14 and a couple (2 people) from the group called and requested a refund because they weren’t able to make it. Upon check-in, another male adult, let me know that he wasn’t able to make it due to a funeral which I told the younger lady and she said that we would be able to refund and figure it all out at checkout.

Upon check-in, another male adult, let me know that he wasn’t able to make it due to a funeral which I told the younger lady and she said that we would be able to refund and figure it all out at checkout. To say the least they refunded the couple but refused to refund the third adult that wasn’t able to join us. She even lied to me saying that that was a refund for three adults and when I questioned her, she said that’s what we agreed on ($112). (she’s talking about the couple that called to Refund talked to them about refund price). I didn’t know that you could agree or negotiate refunds what a joke. This is completely illegal and it was a shame because our entire group really enjoyed camping here for the past 4 years. I was even looking at how bad the reviews were thinking there’s no way this place has been great to us, but I can 100% understand now. I think it’s Time for them to find better staffing of ladies who can actually handle the pressure of organizing campers on a weekend.

Camped for the first time at Rifle River Campground. We had an excellent and enjoyable stay. The river flowing, breeze blowing, birds singing and even the beess buzzing beside our site, made for a great time. We'll be back in the fall! The grounds were kept up, and Staff were great to interact with! This 60+ years family run business takes pride in your experience. Thank you for such a great exper...

Thank you for such a great experience for us, our pups and our friends!! The Krause family 😊!

I tried to leave a review earlier. In case it didnt make it I wanted to leave another. I have always had a good experience here. Yes it may be difficult to call sometimes as they get busy with all the people. But this is a smaller owned campground with a very rustic feel. The tubing and pricing it great. I never have issues and they are very dog friendly.(Lily's first tube tripped documented below... I tried to leave a review earlier. In case it didnt make it I wanted to leave another.

Thanks for your continued hardwork!

I have been renting a canoe from River View, for a September or October float, for probably 10 years or more now. I love this place. One noticeable thing, over the years, is the constant improvement they make to their site. Something is always being done to benefit their customers.

I have been renting a canoe from River View, for a September or October float, for probably 10 years or more now. I love this place. One noticeable thing, over the years, is the constant improvement they make to their site. Something is always being done to benefit their customers. They have the newest/cleanest bathrooms and showers I've encountered in a campsite / canoe livery. As for the canoeing, they offer fiberglass canoes, and what I really like is that the bus ride is at the beginning of the trip, rather than the end. A short 20 minute bus ride gets you to the Greenwood launch for the long trip, and then you end up at their campground. No waiting for a bus to take you back to your car. The Rifle is a great mix of slow float, maneuvering around some downed trees and boulders, and also some shallow rapids with rocks/boulders to avoid. And every year, there are eagles, great blue herons, and kingfishers accompanying the journey. Also, when on the Greenwood trip, the Moffatt launch (origin of the short trip) is a great spot to stop for lunch. Definitely give River View a try!

⭐ 1-Star Review – Heartbreaking and Disappointing Experience. I would never recommend River View Campground & Canoe Livery to anyone. Our family planned a camping and tubing trip for my 4-year-old nephew who was recently diagnosed with leukemia.

Our family planned a camping and tubing trip for my 4-year-old nephew who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. It was his wish to go camping, and we had 19 family members (7 adults and 12 kids) come together to make it happen. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a special and healing trip turned into a stressful and upsetting experience due to poor campground management and a blatant lack of accountability. On Thursday night, a group camped near us was extremely intoxicated and disruptive. We saw security visit their site a few times, but nothing changed. We never made a complaint, understanding that campgrounds on the river can be lively. The next day, while most of our group was tubing on the Rifle River, my brother-in-law stayed back to care for my nephew, who cannot get wet due to the IV backpack that administers his medication. During this time, the same intoxicated group set up a cornhole game on our site. When asked politely to move so we could park our vehicles, they refused. When we returned and calmly asked them again to clear our site, one member of their group called my sister a derogatory name. Tensions rose and nearly turned physical, but we chose to handle it properly by going to the front office to request help. Unfortunately, management dismissed our concerns. Eventually, Todd Golebiewski, who is the owner, got involved. My sister explained to him the issues we were having with the intoxicated group of people, but instead of addressing the group that was clearly causing trouble and had already been warned by security, he chose to evict us. My sister tried to explain that we were there for my nephew who was just diagnosed with Leukemia, but did not seem to care. The only thing I give Todd credit for is offering our group a refund. It's almost as if he knew the group that was intoxicated and harassing us. As we packed up in the dark to leave with kids and trailers, the drunk group mocked us, throwing a frisbee around our site saying how much space they’d have now. After getting home, I read reviews and saw we’re far from the first people to have this kind of experience at this campground. The management’s responses to criticism are unprofessional and deflective, and I fully expect them to twist this situation as well putting the blame back on us. Bottom line: if you’re a family looking for a safe, respectful place to camp, this is not it. We were treated unfairly, disrespected, and dismissed.

We booked this campground hoping for a relaxing family getaway after our 4-year-old son’s recent cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately, our experience was the opposite. When we returned from tubing, we found several highly intoxicated campers had taken over the front of our sites as their party area. We politely asked them to move so we could park, but they refused.

Unfortunately, our experience was the opposite. When we returned from tubing, we found several highly intoxicated campers had taken over the front of our sites as their party area. We politely asked them to move so we could park, but they refused. To avoid confrontation, we went to the front desk for help. Security responded, but instead of resolving the issue, the intoxicated group shouted offensive names at me in front of our children and even shoved the guard. Yes my husband did get defensive when the drunken campers called me offensive names in front of my children. My husband did yell back but never touched anyone. Despite this, the campers were allowed to remain in place. When we returned to the office to ask for a fair resolution, the owner chose to evict us instead of addressing the disorderly group. This was deeply upsetting and extremely disappointing. Instead of creating a safe, family-friendly environment, management punished the very guests who asked for help. Sadly, we cannot recommend this campground to anyone looking for a safe and welcoming place to stay.

Very friendly and organized!! They are not over corporate!! We did not camp, we tubed. We wanted to extend our tubing trip, we called the call button at the 1st stop and they happily said we could continue without issue (would cost us the extra for the extension-no biggie!)!!
