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 location, good space between sites, easy access to great hiking!
No water - be sure to bring everything you'll need.
Bathrooms are stinky - try to get a site not too near one.

Nice campground. Quiet. Large spaces. Great birding, especially around the edges of the campground.

There is no running water so bring your own. Sites are generously sized and well spaced apart. Would definitely go back again!

Great campsite that is well wooded. We liked the Pika loop the most. Vault toilets still open during pandemic.
