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.

It was perfect! We loved the peace and quiet! Even with the rain! The camp hosts were wonderful. They kept the campground clean and the bathrooms spotless! We even had a bear visit us. Loved it!
Hiking, Lake City, Creede, the Rio Grande and much more.
Thank you!

I had reserved campsite #1 and have a 25 ft TT. Backed trailer ok, but due to large spruce branches, could not put awning out and it rained everyday, so grilling was soggy!!. Outside of that, restrooms were clean and campground quiet, despite being very busy. would absolutely return.

The campground hosts, Doris and Ted were the best! I give them a 5 star rating. Friendly, helpful, kept the restrooms and campsites well maintained. The location of the campground is beautiful with rivers, lakes, and trails for hiking. Wildlife is abundant; we especially enjoyed seeing moose and moose babies as well as deer, fox, birds, squirrels and chipmunks. I gave a 4 star rating because of the noise from the dam construction at Rio Grands reservoir; it did disturb the quiet and peacefulness of the campground. We enjoyed eating at the rustic store and grill south on the main highway. Lake City is close by going north on the highway and Creede going south. If you like small mountain towns, Creede is worth visiting with a number of restaurants, art galleries, theater productions, and a National Forest ranger station with a helpful ranger and a lot of free information about trails in the area. The waterfall is a bit north off the main highway is worth seeing though we've missed seeing the swifts who build their nests behind the waterfall. The drive from Lake City north to Blue Mesa reservoir and then to Gunnison is beautiful. Black Canyon of the Gunnison is also worth visiting. Enjoy!

30 mi campground is a true hidden gem. We spent a week camping in our 30 ft travel trailer. The grounds were well maintained by the camp hosts who were super nice folk. The pit toilets were very clean and even have electric lights for night-time visits. The campground is along the Rio Grand which provides excellent fishing. There are hiking trails nearby with opportunities for day hikes or overnight trips. Be prepared to provide your own energy needs with generator or solar; no hook-ups. The access road is gravel so the going is slow but well worth the trip. Cell phone signal is weak to non existent but that is part of getting away off the grid. We plan to return soon.
