Olive Ridge

Peaceful campground. Clean bathrooms.

Clean and Quiet!

We had site 55 and really liked it. It had a nice area for sitting, big trees and rocks, and had a nice level tent pad. There was enough space between sites that we didn't feel crowded. The bear box was big enough for a big tub for our food and both coolers. We were able to get fresh cold spring water from the pump at Allenspark, just a few minutes drive away. The camp host was friendly and sold us nice wood each night for our fire. Our only complaint was the intense smell from the outhouses. They were clean inside but almost overwhelming to use due to the odor. This campground is less than 30 minute drive to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park along the Peak to Peak highway which has nice views of the surrounding mountains. Would definitely stay in this campground again!

I think this campground was really nice! Nice campsites. However, there is no water. I don’t understand why they don’t fix that issue. It’s so inconvenient! The potty’s are stinky, but that’s to be expected.
The other issue we had was that the site we picked was not near enough big for our camper. I don’t know why the website let us reserve that one. Anyway, the camp host helped us find one that we fit in, but then we were not by the rest of our family. That was disappointing so make sure of the size of your site.
The camp host was super nice and very helpful. Overall, we liked the campground.

Very nice campground, nice for hiking in Rocky Mountain NP.

Lives in the are over 55 years and had no idea there is such a nice campground so close to the metro area. Serves the purpose of this trip but still prefer more remote sites.

This is a nice campground. Site 56 is a bit small so if you have a larger trailer or camper it might not work for you. There isn't water available at the campground so you need to bring it or get some in Allenspark at the spring. The hosts were efficient, the bathrooms are like most vault toilets - clean but with some odor. I've stayed here before and it is usually a quiet campground and a good location to visit RMNP, Estes Park, or Allenspark for the gallery

I stayed in site 39 which in theory looked isolated from the rest of the campground, but beware, there is a ton of highway noise. As well, there are large boulders behind the campsite which seemingly attract the entire campground. There was a mega ton of activity at all hours with kids and adults the like, climbing all over them and making a ton of noise. Many people walked through my campsite. My cat who stays in my small trailer with me did not enjoy this and neither did I. There was one major incident with a large group of adults staying in site 34 who were in those boulders, throwing knives at old lodge pole pines. It was awful. I went to the camp hosts who handled it. The camp hosts were great. I don’t know if I would stay here again. This is one of the loudest campgrounds I’ve been to. Doesn’t seem like there is any site you can get away from loud people. Sites are so close together. Again, bathrooms were clean and camp hosts are great. Just a busy and loud campground. My taste is quiet and peace.

Great old national forest campground. Great hosts. I will say site #36 really should be a tent only site. I could fit my teardrop at the front, but the table and fire ring are about ~50' away by the tent pad.

We loved being able to have a campsite with shade and trees to hang our hammocks from. It was a great campground with friendly hosts!
