Thirty Mile Campground

About

Thirty Mile Campground is a developed site in Rio Grande National Forest, located on County Road 18C near Pagosa Springs. The campground sits in a meadow between the Rio Grande River and Grizzly Creek (also referred to as Squaw Creek in some sources), with mature spruce and aspen trees providing shade. It is situated approximately one mile from the Rio Grande Reservoir. The site offers tent and trailer camping with no electric hookups, though firewood is sold on-site. Amenities include drinking water, restrooms, and parking. Two trailheads, Squaw Creek and Weminuche Pass, provide access to the Weminuche Wilderness and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The campground is pet-friendly and open from May through September. Access is via Forest Road 520 from Creede. While some commercial listings claim showers and laundry, the official Forest Service description confirms restrooms and water but does not explicitly list showers or laundry, so those amenities are uncertain based on conflicting sources.
