Anyone every stay in Olive Ridge campground, the usfs campground in the area?
Seems like they have quite a few walk up sites. Assuming is is totally off the grid, but that is fine with us.
Also, sounds like fireworks in Estes Park are a good show?
Olive Ridge is a good campground and it's convenient to Estes Park. Sites are nice and it's easy to get into. Have to look for the sign for the entrance though, it sneaks up on you.
One time I stayed there and the wind was howling during the night(this was in a prior June), woke up the next morning and the place was covered with snow blown off Longs Peak! Didn't last long, it was just very bizarre.
If you can snag a site at Olive Ridge, you will like it. Some neighbors of ours in EP would take their MH to Olive Ridge to take the kids "camping" for the weekend.
The fireworks over Lake Estes are spectacular. When we are there, we try to get a spot near the school complex. You can get out via Fish Creek Rd. headed south. The traffic via 34 and 36 will be backed up for at least an hour.
