Olive Ridge Campground

There are 56 sites that will accommodate tents, campers, trailers, and RVs. Tents must be confined to the provided tent pads (14' X 16'). Picnic tables, fire grates, vault toilets, and trash services are provided.  There is no water, electricity, hook-ups, dump stations, or showers. All campsites with a tent pad have a bear locker. Campsites 1 - 24, 38, 41, 42, and 46 are first come, first served. Campsites 26 - 40, 42, and 44 - 56 are reservable. Olive Ridge is near the southeastern corner of Rocky Mountain National Park, so offers nearby access to hiking trails in the Wild Basin area of the National Park.
