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.

This is a remote and very pretty campground. That needs a little love from the Forrest Service. The scenery around the camp is beautiful as well as the lake. The sites are well situated, pit toilets are well positioned around the camp. There is no water, so pack in what you need, the is a water source about 6 miles away.

The campground and restrooms were very clean. Had a mixup with site chosen, as #7 was not level enough for the motorhome that accompanied us, so campground host suggested an alternative. We ended up in #22 and 23. It was quiet, private and even in the cool, damp weather we really enjoyed the flowers and green surroundings.

Super quiet and pristine location. The camp host was excellent at taking care of the area. I've been to a lot of campgrounds and used a lot of vault toilets. Olive Lake had the cleanest one I've ever used! Our site had access to the lake and at times we were the only campers there!

The area was beautiful and had a good mix of sun and shade. The lake was perfect and there's a picnic table and campfire ring on the small island in the middle of it.

I was not able to get to the campground due to the fires. I hope to stay there in the future.

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.
