Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights3 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
At just over 8,300 feet, Olive Ridge Campground sits on the west side of Colorado Highway 7 between Allenspark and Meeker Park (mile-marker 14), in the Roosevelt National Forest a short drive south of Rocky Mountain National Park. The site is shaded by a mixed stand of ponderosa pine and aspen, and the interior roads are gravel and dirt conditions to keep in mind for lower-clearance vehicles and larger rigs.













Length limits vary by campsite.

“Olive Ridge is a beautiful campground. The vault toilets and no water or dump station available were the only downside. We had the last 4 days of our reservation canceled because Olive Ridge was closing early to take care of the problem of no water. ”
“Beautiful place to camp! Plenty of room with no close Neighbors and very clean bathrooms. The camp host was very friendly and helpful.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (9,996 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
