I recently had the pleasure of visiting Rifle and experienced exceptional service from the camp host, Hugh. Hugh's commitment to ensuring a positive and safe environment for campers was evident throughout my stay. One notable example of his dedication was when he reinforced the road with sandbags, ensuring access to the campground despite the irregularly high snowfall from earlier this year. His proactive approach to maintenance and problem-solving truly sets him apart.
Not only did Hugh go above and beyond to address infrastructure concerns, but he also showed genuine care for visitors' well-being. When I unfortunately injured my back while climbing, Hugh immediately offered assistance and helped me safely return to my campsite. His attentiveness and support during a difficult time were greatly appreciated. Additionally, his commitment to reuniting me with my misplaced climbing rope by promptly notifying the lost and found exemplifies his responsible and reliable nature.
While Hugh's contributions were outstanding, it is essential to acknowledge the collective effort of the entire camp host team at Rifle. Garrett, in particular, played a significant role in maintaining the cleanliness and Emily keeps the peace in the canyon. Their dedication to the upkeep of the trails and their friendly assistance with day use and camping fees added to the overall positive experience of my visit.
In conclusion, my time at Rifle was made memorable thanks to the hard work and commitment of the camp hosts, particularly Hugh, Emily and Garrett. Their efforts, including reinforcing the road, clearing up trails, assisting visitors, and maintaining a peaceful atmosphere, deserve high praise. I highly recommend visiting Rifle and experiencing the exceptional service provided by this...
