Disappointed in the news that we have an over abundance of OHV and ATV running up and down the roads in camp but unable to use a chainsaw to cut firewood. I guess we are supposed to buy the wood from the host for an outrageous amount or do without a fire. The reason we go is to see wildlife and with barking dogs and off leash dogs and all the generators and ohv the wildlife is pretty scarce. The camp host was very nice and did a great job for us.

This was our 2nd trip to Thirty Mile. This campground is clean, with well spaced campsites. The vault toilets are kept very clean and the noise within the campground is extremely low. There are numerous trails for hiking and sightseeing.

The area is nice, but the campground is filled mostly by the noisy and stinky RV folks with their generators and ATVs

Camp ground hosts were not very cooperative with needs of the campers. Poor maintenance or no maintenance of sites and toilets. Time spent cleaning outhouses 3-5 minutes. Certainly not enough time to do more than change toilet paper and spray. Most sites were never groomed.

Booked 4 nights to use as a base camp to park my car while i was on a 5 day hike.
Camp host was told me they have a 14 day parking area for such a thing and that he'd cancel my reservation.
They billed me anyhow!!
Beautiful place though.

We camped at Thirty Mile end of July 2021. It was a beautiful campground in the trees, and we loved our campsite which backed up to Squaw Creek. We did two dayhikes from the trailhead (right from the campground), and also fished in the Rio Grande reservoir and river. We can highly recommend this campground!

Thirty mile Campground is a great place to bring your family. There are many thing for you and your kids to explore and just be kids. Bring bikes . The hosts are fantastic. It is important to realize you are camping at 11,000 ft. so weather changes. It can be hot, and then cold, sunny and then rainy. What layering you bring is essential. Weminuche Pass Trailhead will take you to the summit 12,500 ft. on to the Continental Divide, Squaw Creek trail head is a good climb, but it is a simpler hike. Be prepared for weather changes, It's best if you hike early and bring bug spray, If you are planning to fish on the Rio Grande check river flows, it can be high and fast. The reservoir is hard to access, but I did see a boat ramp. Check with rangers on that info. We were able to build a fire, and stay warm looking at the stars. It's easy to play on the banks of the river in summer. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF THE RULES; TO SAVE THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THIRTY MILE CAMPGROUND.
