What Guests Are Saying
Thirty Mile Campground offers a beautiful setting with spacious, well-maintained sites and friendly, attentive hosts. Guests appreciate the clean restrooms, privacy among campsites, and access to fishing and hiking opportunities. However, the road leading to the campground is rough, and some visitors experienced noise issues from nearby campers.

30 Mile 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.

Campground was unkept and trash was in our campsite. Signs posted on the water DO NOT drink HIGHLY chlorinated water. We were not prepared with enough drinking water as in the past it has never been a problem. We should have been notified. The last night we were there we found that the water had been cut off without any notification. NOT good. We went to a neighboring campground and got water for the night and next morning. The camp hosts were completely unaware until we asked why but said that maintenance had been there the day before and had told them the water was restored but they did not check? Strange to me. But the beauty of the area never changes, it is really spectacular. We've traveled here many times and this was our first time with trouble. The hosts seemed to not really grasp their position at the campground. I hope all improves.

Wow — What a fantastic campground! The camp hosts, Leah and Tammy, were top-notch, and kept the bathrooms spotless and well-stocked. They were also so friendly and helpful. Our campsite, Number 3, was arguably the best of the bunch. The rushing river lulled us to sleep at night, and we woke in the morning to the sounds of the birds in the trees near our tent. We did day hikes on both of the trails near the campground, and didn’t see a soul on either trail. It was pure bliss. Note: you are completely off-grid, so plan accordingly. We will be back!

We love this campground and site 26. Been there before. HOWEVER, when we arrived we found out that the potable water source was highly treated with chlorine...which basically makes it unusable. We feel Recreation.gov should have informed us about the situation, cuzz we probably would have changed our plans.

Last minute change on our reservation sent through email and I had 2 options, modify or cancel. Apparently the season dates were changed or entered incorrectly the first time details are unknown. But you plan a trip and then you’re notified through email and thankfully it did not drop into the spam folder and now change your dates or cancel. Really unacceptable and at the last minute. Then to complete the experience don’t drink the water and then NO water. Reason unknown and camp hosts unaware. Oh my I’d like a refund for all the confusion. We’ve been to this campground many times in the past and have never had a problem. What’s happening here? Disappointed. But the beauty is still the same.

Great campground. Referencing the review saying that camp host is anti dog, the people who allow their dogs off leash are disrespectful to all campers. My wife and I always camp with our dog and he is always on a leash. Numerous times we have had to run dogs out of our camp because the owner believes rules don't apply to them and they have no respect for anyone else camping. Many times walking our dog on a leash, we have had to get between our dog and an unleashed dog to prevent a fight. Dogs off leash can poop anywhere the urge hits them, that has to be cleaned up by others or by the camp host. If you cannot follow the rules then stay out of the campground.

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.
