Campground Host (Rifle Gap)

Rifle Gap and Rifle Falls State Parks offer visitors and volunteers a diverse, amazing, unique  array of recreational opportunities on Colorado’s western slope at the base of the San Juan Mountains. Rifle Gap has always drawn visitors because of its outstanding fishing and boating opportunities, but now the park has completed an $11,000,000 upgrade to include full hookups at some camp host campsites. A trio of waterfalls, lush vegetation and a series of small caves helped Rifle Falls State Park earn a reputation as one of Colorado’s best parks. Both Rifle Gap and Rifle Falls strive to provide the very best experience to the visitors possible, and we could not do that without our camp host volunteers! Our hosts are more of a working family than anything else.
