What campers say
Oliver Reservoir Campground is a mostly free, large-site reservoir campground with many waterfront spots, picnic tables, fire rings, potable water fill stations and a dump. A friendly, hands-on camp host (several visitors praised Karen) helps keep the area welcoming. Practical tradeoffs: sites are primitive—pit toilets/outhouses, no electrical hookups—and campers must pack out trash; donations are encouraged. The park is easy to access from the highway and allows stays up to 14 days. Visitors note occasional train noise and some late-night activity (generators or fireworks), so it can be lively at times.
