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.

Beautiful place to camp! Plenty of room with no close Neighbors and very clean bathrooms. The camp host was very friendly and helpful.

We loved our stay at Olive Ridge. The campground is well laid out, with lots of privacy and quiet. The location was perfect for accessing Rocky Mtn National Park, Brainard Recreation Area, and Allenspark. Our host Kurt gave us great recommendations for local hikes. We will definitely visit again!

What can I say, a bear came into the campground messed up the garbage can and hang out next to our tents. The best campground ever and the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had haha

We've been camping at Olive Ridge for several years. We love it because it's beautiful...woodsy and well-kept. Camp sites are spaced a good distance apart. There is a natural mountain spring close by in Allenspark. It is managed, monitored, icy-cold, and FREE. Our host this year at Pika, Kurt Pelz, was helpful, friendly, hardworking. and nice. The bathrooms were spotless!
