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.

Absolutely outstanding campground. Restrooms were the cleanest I’ve ever seen by far. Clearly the camp host takes her job seriously and has pride in her work. I will be back again soon. Pssst… don’t tell anyone about this place and let’s keep it a secret amongst ourselves.

Camp hosts were great, and I got to spend a little time visiting with them. Toilets were spotless - seriously I didn't know vault toilets could be so nice. Will definitely be visiting again next season.

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.

First-come, first-serve sites are available but not guaranteed.

Cancellation policy

Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
