What Guests Are Saying
Thirty Mile Campground is highly praised for its beautiful mountain views, spacious and clean campsites, and friendly hosts who maintain spotless facilities. Visitors appreciate the campground's privacy, proximity to fishing spots, and access to hiking trails. The main concern noted was the rough 10-mile dirt road and occasional noise from generators, but overall, guests express a strong desire to return.

The campsites are very nice and spacious. Lots of trees if you want and very little if you don't. Two National Forest hiking trails begin in the campground. The camp host is very anti-dog. We were on our own campsite playing with our dog and she came to yell at us for not having the dog on a leash. Just about everyone in the campground had dogs. None of them were bothering anyone and everyone that we talked with (and we also had friends in 7 other sites, with dogs) said she came and yelled at them about dogs off-leash - ON THEIR OWN SITES. We all understand the anti-dog sentiment which seems rampant these days (which is very unfortunate) but this was over the top.

Always enjoyable to camp at Thirty Mile. 55 years of camping trips there this year. Great campsites spread apart from other campsites make for good privacy. Adequate water spigots throughout the campground with good tasting water. No electricity or black water dump station make efficiency a constant need. There are 4 trails I usually always hike that originate at or near the campground; Weminuche trail to Weminuche Pass and beyond, Little Squaw Creek (although I think it is now Grizzly Creek due to PC), Box Canyon whose trailhead is in the River Hill Campground a mile away, and Ute Creek trail whose trailhead is at the west end of the Rio Grande Reservoir. The weather was great, campground and bathrooms clean and stocked, low bugs, good skies for solar panel use, and spectacular clear skies at night to stargaze. I’ll keep coming back as long as I am able.
