Thirty Mile

Thirty Mile Campground offers a breathtaking retreat into the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Perched at an elevation of 9,325 feet along the banks of the scenic Rio Grande River, this federal campground serves as the perfect basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors are situated just a short mile from the Rio Grande Reservoir, providing easy access to swimming, canoeing, and some of the region's best fishing opportunities.

The terrain is defined by its proximity to the Weminuche Wilderness, Colorado's largest wilderness area. This rugged, high-alpine landscape features dramatic mountain peaks reaching over 14,000 feet, providing a spectacular backdrop for your stay. Guests can take advantage of two nearby trailheads for hiking or participate in interpretive programs hosted directly at the campground.

While this is a primitive site with no utility hookups, it provides essential amenities including firewood and convenient access to the surrounding wilderness. The campground is well-suited for both tent campers and RV travelers who enjoy a rustic, back-to-basics experience. Whether you are seeking a quiet fishing getaway or a challenging trek into the Weminuche, Thirty Mile provides an unforgettable mountain escape.
