Camping at Olive Ridge near Morrison

Public campground · Morrison · 53 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

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.

“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. ”

Lonnie S 5 · Aug 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Beautiful place to camp! Plenty of room with no close Neighbors and very clean bathrooms. The camp host was very friendly and helpful.”

How far ahead to book Olive Ridge

For July weekends, book about 181 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 161 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
May131 days ahead158 days ahead36 days ahead96 days ahead

August153 days ahead180 days ahead32 days ahead101 days ahead
September70 days ahead173 days ahead35 days ahead71 days ahead

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.
