Welcome

Announcement: Summer 2026 Updates in RMP

Members of the Rifle Climbers Coalition Board met with City officials in April to discuss proposed updates. We advocated for the interests of climbers and brought up what we saw as potential issues or challenges with their proposals. At the time, these changes, particularly with the new reservation system, were still in the works and we expected to hear back from the City before their implementation. But, without further communication with the Board, the City has put these changes in effect. The Board has a good relationship with the City and as a Board we trust the City is doing their best to manage the place we all love. We will continue to advocate for the interests of climbers and the effective management of Rifle Mountain Park.

There is a new reservation system for camping, effective Friday May 8.

• Make reservations at https://www.roverpass.com/…/rifle-mountain…/booking/.
• A 24-hour grace period will apply to online reservations:
  • If a reserved campsite is a no-show after 24 hours, it will become available on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • If you have a reservation but expect a delayed arrival: Please contact city park staff through RoverPass so they can adjust your dates and hold your campsite.
• Huffman Gulch campsites (14 total) will remain first-come, first-served and will not be included in the online reservation system. Some of these sites are car-camping only (well-suited for vans).

Only two cars are allowed per campsite.

• Please respect camp hosts and city staff by limiting each campsite to two vehicles.

Annual passes have gone up for Non-Residents to $200
