About Thirty Mile

Thirty Mile Campground is nestled on the banks of the Rio Grande River, just a short mile from the Rio Grande Reservoir. The location is perfect for anyone who loves to spend time fishing, canoeing and swimming. In addition, there are two trailheads and regular interpretive programs located at the campground. Across from the Thirty Mile is the Weminuche Wilderness, the largest wilderness area in Colorado. It's a famously rugged region with three mountain peaks reaching over 14,000 feet.

Number of accommodations: 28

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 campground itself was excellent. The 10 mile dirt road to get to it was tough. It was very rough and needed to be grated or leveled off. We had to go very slow pulling a trailer and the 10 miles took us 45 minutes.

Thirty Mile Campground is a beautiful area. With the Rio Grande River and Grizzly (formerly Squaw Creek) Creek running through, there is moderately good trout fishing. Also there are trailheads for the Weminuche and Grizzly Trails. The campsites are mostly shaded by pines and are not close to each other, so privacy is pretty good. The pit toilets were sparkling clean and always well stocked. Congrats to the camp hosts. It was very dry when we were there so dust was somewhat of a nuisance. The stars at night were awesome!

Nicely designed campground, it's well maintained, and the camp hosts did an excellent job - commendations! There are two trailheads that start right in the campground as well as two creeks that traverse it - both fishable. Many sites are shaded and are nicely spaced. Rio Grande Reservoir has very limited access and for those with kayaks/paddle boards or wanting to fish, Road Canyon Reservoir No.1 is a better bet. The county road in had quite a bit of washboard, but a grader was doing work on one section.

Water was over chlorinated. Host (nice guy, Bill) said your contract guy went to the pump added chlorination, appears to have been on the high side although Bill said it was in limits. Still water was undrinkable. If you think a refund is in order we agree.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
