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.

We were very pleased with the campground hosts. Even though they had to take care of four campgrounds in the area, the bathrooms were clean, the campsites were all cleaned and raked, and the hosts stopped by several times to make sure we were happy with the campground. I can not imagine a more pleasant experience from the people taking care of the campground. Top notch!

I love going to 30-mile CG. I did, however, would have liked having a CG host on site, but the host from River Hill CG was very nice and kept clean bathrooms. I’ll definitely return if possible.

So there is a new company doing things now. No onsite host. People from dropsite campsites were buzzing in to drop trash and use the bathroom every morning. I have been coming here for 66 years. They increased the prices to insane levels. The timing for making reservations was incorrect. I happened to look early and got a reservation. This is a campsite with no electricity or water onsite, why do you think you need to charge rates like you are a 5 star hotel in Napa? Most people book by the week. Why the different rates for weekends or holidays? Then you feel the need to gouge us by charging $10 per vehicle? The vehicle charge was more than the site charge! You charge us for cars even though there is a site for backpackers and hikers where we could park but you charge us to park there too. They said they need the parking for the backpackers and hikers but if we pay $10, it's OK to park there? Then you charge $2.00 more for firewood with smaller bundles. People did get upset and left. You folks are ruining 30 mi campground. Does the U S Forest service know what you are pulling?
