The campground has shaded sites, and the camp hosts were attentive and gave us useful information.There are good hiking options nearby, but the campground is close to the highway, and traffic noise was noticeable.

The sites at this campground are wonderful because they are either far enough away for privacy or the surrounding trees screen you from others. There were moments when we felt all alone in the wilderness. The camp host was helpful too!

Olive Ridge has a petty tyrant for a camp host this year. Blocking the road with his golf cart, yelling at kids, selectively enforcing the rules if he decides not to like you. It's clear he thinks whatever he wants to say is more important than what you are trying to do. Poisoned the experience for the family.

Olive Ridge is clean, quiet, easily accessible, and so peaceful! We initially thought we were missing out by not being able to camp in RMNP, however we were so delighted with our campsite at Olive Ridge I don't think we will ever camp anywhere else while visiting RMNP. Estes Park and the park were easily accessible from the campground, yet the campground felt quiet and remote and we were so grateful for how serene and relaxing it was!

Very convenient to the Wild Basin area in RMNP. The campsite was nice with some shade and it was quiet.

A hidden gem of a campground! Great access to Longs Peak Trailhead in RMNP.

Great campsite & mostly shaded tent pad! Big fan of this spot and would love to come back.
The campsite is VERY quiet. We brought out 5 and 7 year old daughters and I felt like I was shushing them a lot because I was scared to disrupt the peace for the other campers lol! But it was really spaced out and nice and private so I doubt we even bothered anyone. :)

This is a great spot. It works for me and what I want. But note, your picnic table and tent pad are not close to your car. If you have a lot of stuff and want easy unload/pack-up, this one isn't for you, it's a slight up hill slope.

We enjoyed our first time at Olive Ridge. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. The campground was easy to find and located close to Estes. The sites were spaced far enough away from each other to allow for privacy and solitude. There are many trailheads along hwy 7 between Olive Ridge and Estes so we were able to enjoy a hike. We will definitely be returning.
