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 ft.

Summary

AI generated

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.

Terrible road leading to campground. Miles of the worst washboarded road that I have ever driven. I would not visit campground again because of the road.

The actual campground was excellent. Hosts were to notch too.

Excellent clean campground. While they say watch out for the Bears, also watch out for the deer, they will steal your stuff. One that has zero fear of people will go onto your picnic table and your stuff. Keep your campsite clean. The host were excellent and it was very quiet and relaxing.

30 mi Campground.
Hosts were great. Tamy and leeya?
We've been coming for many years and don't quite understand why you are now putting lime in the toilets? Those toilets were installed back in 1977. We just happened to know that because we were working here when they were installed. Anyway, just a comment. They really have a strong odor.
