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.

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.

Nice campground with secluded campsites and lots of trees. Our site was right along the river, which we really enjoyed, and otherwise quiet. There were a couple of ATVs riders that liked roaming the around and around the camp, but it's large enough that they weren't too bothersome. Camp hosts Sierra and Dakota do a great job of keep such a large area clean and groomed - including the bathrooms. We enjoyed our short stay there. Great for fishing!
