Rifle River-Group-Use Campground
Rifle River Recreation Area
More Information
Due to planned park enhancements – upgrading electric, water system and lift station – the Grousehaven modern campground is closed Sept. 2 through spring 2025. The rustic cabins are open year-round. The rustic campgrounds will open for the season April 15, 2025. A proposed $2.91 million in federal relief funding from Gov. Whitmer's Building Michigan Together Plan made these renovations possible.
This group-use campground can accommodate groups up to 100. The campground is large, wooded and features three different sites with firepits and picnic tables. A hand pump for potable water located is in the campground. The campground is across the road from the Rifle River. There is a trailhead offering easy access to the park’s multiuse trail.
