Very clean and well taken care of campground. Hosts were very nice. We loved all the mature trees where you could hang hammocks and all the big boulders. 25 minutes to Estes park & to Lyons. There is no cell service once you go through Lyons and only one tiny gas station/store so make sure you stop for everything you need beforehand.

Campsites were decently spread, but neighbors were very noisy late into the night. Wood was well-picked over and wet; you may need to buy something from the camp host. Plan to bring a camp stove or not rely on a fire if you want to cook.

I love this campground. Very, very clean. Well kept grounds. Newer picnic tables of high quality. Friendly host. Clean restrooms. Lots of bear bins and locked trash bins. Great access to the highway and Estes Park. Quiet and peaceful.

Perfect National Forest Campground. Sits were very spaciousness and far between. Lots of trees but easy to find Starlink views of the sky. Camp host was very congenial and kept a vigilant oversight of the camp. Week leading up to Labor Day weekend was less than 50 percent full. Easy access to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain. Spring water fill point two miles south. Bring containers to fill.

Olive Ridge is at a nice location and the campsites have plenty of room. The vault toilets were fine but it would be great if they would build a shower house. The camp host camp around at 11:00 checking license plates and woke us up. I think that is a little late and could have gone bad.

The site was beautiful and peaceful. Camp hosts Kirt and Nick went above and beyond and the place was clean and well maintained. The only improvement I would suggest is to change the description of the double campsite #39 to say that 2 trailers with slides will NOT fit in the space!!!

The campsite has no water and bathrooms need cleaning. The site is nosier because it is very close to highway.
