What Guests Are Saying
Olive Ridge is a beautiful, well-maintained campground known for its clean facilities, friendly hosts, and spacious sites that offer plenty of privacy. Guests appreciate its proximity to hiking areas and the natural spring nearby. However, the lack of potable water and the occasional odor from the vault toilets are common drawbacks mentioned by visitors.

Lovely campground with super private campsites. The staff was outstanding. There was a bear making frequent trips into the campground and we were kept aware of its activities on a regular basis; informed when it was trapped and taken away. We had contact with the staff several times a day; they kept everything clean and tidy.
This campground is VERY convenient to Rocky Man. Nat'l Park; we went in everyday of our stay. We'd gotten timed entry passes (through RMNP) in advance. However, this campground is so close that you could easily enter the park before 9 a.m. when you don't need a timed entry; or after 2 when timed entry is also not needed.

We really like Olive Ridge. It's a pretty quiet campground normally. The camp hosts are always friendly. The sites are just far enough apart to get a little privacy if you want it. There are a number of rocks around for casual bouldering.
