Other features include a 2-mile hiking trail around the lake with nearby access to wilderness and scenic area trails, a boat ramp and 2 docks.    Besides beautiful scenery, the lake offers many opportunities for wildlife viewing--particularly a nesting pair of osprey that return annually. Activities in this area include fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, hunting, and photography. Within 20 miles are several historic sites.

What Guests Are Saying

Olive Lake Campground offers a beautiful, quiet environment with great views, clean facilities, and a variety of recreational activities like fishing and kayaking. While some campers noted issues with site spacing and restroom access, many appreciated the scenic beauty and the well-maintained grounds. However, the absence of a camp host and challenges with reservations have been a concern for some visitors.

I reserved my spot. Showed up. Some guy and his family in the spot. They refused to move. 6 hour drive to meet a A hole. This seems to be a common occurrence.

Beautiful place to camp, lake was awesome. Unknowing until we pulled up that our spot is just on the road and you walk down a few stairs into the camp spot. Not a pull in camping spot like “normal”. Super dusty when cars drive by. Pretty place but probably would not camp in this area next time.

Campground was nice, although the website could use better photos and descriptions of the actual campsites. Main negative issue was the fact that we had made reservations for our three night stay, and when we arrived, the site was already taken. With no campground host on the property, we ended up finding a site that wasn’t being used and hoping that someone hadn’t reserved it. The folks that took our reserved site were still in place when. We left.

This place is pristine and private. Friendly locals. Bring bug spray, trash bags (pack it all in!) and toilet paper. Our bathroom was out of toilet paper completely. If you’re coming to fish, please clean up after yourself to prevent wildlife from coming too close to the campsites and reduce trash. This place is beautiful and peaceful and I’m sure we all want to keep it that way!

Nice little campground near a beautiful lake. Sparse trees due to a recent thinning project but it wasn’t hot so we didn’t miss the shade. We stayed in site 17 which was right next to another site, it was empty and we had the whole area to ourselves. Remember to have enough gas!

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
