Olive Ridge Campground

In response to Alexander Napiers review... Please note that there are many signs posted as you enter the campground discussing a fire ban in the area. As a camper, it is your responsibility to know and follow these rules as soon as you come in the campground. The fires you saw were propane fires, these are allowed through this fire ban. I am grateful to the wonderful hosts in this campground for helping to educate our guests with understanding the rules and upholding them. You are lucky that the Forest Service rangers didn't give you the standard $500 fine associated with not following the fire ban. Thank you for visiting our beautiful campground and adhering to the safety rules at all times.

The campground is very well maintained and all the spots seem pretty great. The camp host, does a great job. We saw them consistently driving around checking on things. They have a bear box for each camp site and few trash dumpsters between sites available.

I recently stayed a night here with my girlfriend. We had a camp fire going for well over an hour before a worker/host came and told us that there was a fire ban (level 2 according to the worker) and helped us douse our fire. I didn't argue and was respectful as I come to this campground quite a bit and have been coming here for over 7 years. Later on in the evening my girlfriend and I had to use the restroom before we called it a night. Upon walking to the restrooms we saw 5 other campsites with a fire burning ??? Why do I feel like we were singled out or discriminated against? To the Campground Host: If you are to enforce fire restrictions on one tenet, you must enforce it for all tenets!

This is a beautiful campground with lots of huge rocks, but we made the mistake of getting a site too close to the main road and it was pretty noisy. Next time will choose a site further in the back of the campground, but the people that take care of the place are absolutely fabulous and so friendly and helpful. BTW: the attached photos are from a different site!

This is the place to stay!! It isn’t as chaotic and busy as the campgrounds in the Park, but it’s also a fairly close drive to Estes Park and RMNP. Wild Basin is just up the road! The host, Curt, is a great guy, keeps the campground in order and cleans the bathrooms daily. I really have no complaints, it made our trip just that much more enjoyable.
