Beautiful, peaceful campground with attentive hosts. We enjoyed the cool rock formations and swinging in our hammock (lots of places to put it up!).

This was a great campground! Nicely spaced sites, clean toilet facilities, bear boxes at each campsite, plenty of trees to put up a hammock. All in all, great experience!

The camp hosts take great care of the grounds! Cleanest pit toilets ever. Packed on the weekends and lots of families, but campers were very respectful and followed quiet hours.

We love the spacious sites alone the back of the Pika loop. The hike to the top of Lilly Mountain was a little challenging at the end with the boulder scramble, but the view is totally worth it.

Olive Ridge is a beautiful campground. The vault toilets and no water or dump station available were the only downside. We had the last 4 days of our reservation canceled because Olive Ridge was closing early to take care of the problem of no water.
