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.

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.

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 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.

Great location! The campground is very well maintained and all the spots seem pretty great. The camp host, Nick, was awesome. We saw him constantly cleaning the bathrooms and driving around checking on things. There is no water here but Allenspark isn’t far and there are some supplies there!

Stayed here in August 2021 for five nights. Sites were spacious and shady with a picnic table, fire ring/grate, food locker, and tent pad. Vault toilets through campground. A couple miles up the road you can get showers and laundry at Meeker Lodge. There’s a great water source in Allenspark called Crystal Springs to refill water. This was a great base camp for hiking in RMNP.

Shady, cool, plenty of room between camp sites. Very cool camp hosts who are very helpful. They also have firewood for sale Fires are ok within fire rings.

Enjoyed camping here. Nice quiet campground. Plenty of space between campsites. Very busy on the weekends with locals coming up from town. Hard to find a campsite on Friday and Saturday, but the campground cleared out and was nice and peaceful during the week. I would stay here again.

Large lots with trees and boulders. We stayed in spot 44. Many have there own large food storage box for tenters. They clearly tell you no water, so I don't think it's fair for people to take their rating down based on that. The restrooms are also big enough for you to change your clothes in, although they're kind of yucky considering they are basically out houses. If you're wanting peace and quiet, this is the place.

After living in Boulder County for 20+ years, we finally camped at Olive Ridge. We loved it! Beautiful views and flowers. Shirley the camp host was so friendly and helpful. We will stay again!
