What Guests Are Saying
Olive Lake Campground offers a beautiful and peaceful setting with clean facilities and well-maintained grounds. Many visitors enjoy the lake for activities like kayaking, fishing, and swimming, often appreciating the low camper density during mid-week stays. However, some campers noted issues with site suitability for RVs and occasional restroom supply shortages, but overall, many are eager to return for the serene natural experience.

Site 7. Park on the road and walk down into the site. It has another set of stairs down to the lake. Site states room for 25 ft RV, that is inaccurate as site 6 and 7 share a space on the side of the road. Would be better as a tent site. Lake was wonderful. No hosts. No wood. No TP in the vault bathrooms.

The spot for the trailer was along the road and extremely difficult to get in. It was so narrow that putting out the awning on stairs on lake side, the steps would have been dangerous to step off. Turning the trailer around we were able to put the slide out on the lake side, however if we wanted to set outside by the trailer we were practically in the road and were not able to use the awning. The site is very unlevel and had to use everything we had to compensate! We rented the spot for three days (prepaid) and left the next morning. We made reservations to supposedly the only sites available, however there were vacant sites when we got there?? We won’t be using Olive Lake again even though the scenery was great but not worth the frustration of trying to set up the trailer and our friends in the next spot with their truck and camper. We couldn’t believe these spots we consider RV spots! We left Olive Lake to another Forest Service park with the standards we have expected from every other campground we have used. Site 8

*Lots of mosquitoes
*Rv parking not in site, along road.
*path "around" lake was terrible..not established well...downed trees..
*Extremely limited lake access..compared to Jubilee Lake.
*Extremely remote area...so make sure to fill up on gas in la grande..we almost ran out!
*overall, even our kids were disapointed...we couldent see the lake from our site...and the sites were almost ontop of eachother! We had kids invading our site ..had to stake our claim with our Led string lights...
* we do lots of camping...and the experience itself was just "not typical" we didn't have a "terrible" time.
* A major positive to our trip was stopping by the old power plant! The care taker was more than happy to give us a free tour...Very very cool! STOP BY if you see a car outside...and try to catch a tour...some luck required to catch the older gentlemen! The areas history is very cool!
*we wont be comming back to camp, we could have had a better camping experience at a local state park.The roads were not the best, and deffinetly should have been marked better! We thankfully had a garmin gps to help navigate!
*esentially zero cell coverage for most of the forest roads

Very remote. Beautiful. Great location. Lake is nice. Fishing was good. A few years ago this was a near perfect spot. A little run down, but still nice. My only gripe is why make a reservation, a guy and his family were in mine. Refused to move. So I found a new spot. Not as nice as the one I reserved and paid for. This seems to be the normal. No host, no law enforcement, no forest service, and no cell service. I even complained to the forest service, there answer no refunds. I was not asking for one, but to not even care or try to get the free loader to pay. They wanted nothing to do with it. This seems to be a common problem, people stealing others reservations and the Forest Service not caring or enforcing their own rules. Unfortunately this will result in some kind of altercation eventually. Beware of reservation thieves, because your ob your own. Six and a half hours drive to meet an A hole.

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.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- 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.
