Thirty Mile Campground Introduce
Thirty Mile Campground offers a pristine and secluded camping experience nestled in the beautiful landscapes of Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Known for over five decades, this campground is a favorite among families and adventurers seeking tranquility and stunning natural scenery.
Located on Co Rd 18C, Thirty Mile Campground provides a mix of modern amenities and untouched nature. The site is ideal for those traveling in motorhomes or RVs, with careful navigation required due to the winding, washboard road access. The campground features well-maintained sites equipped with BBQ grills and picnic tables, ensuring all visitors have the necessary facilities for a comfortable stay.
One of the standout features of Thirty Mile Campground is its commitment to sustainability and cleanliness. The hosts, Leah and Tami, are dedicated to keeping the restrooms clean and maintaining the pristine condition of each site. Their friendly demeanor and willingness to assist campers add a welcoming touch to the camping experience.
The campground's remote location offers a peaceful retreat from city life. Deer, fawns, squirrels, chipmunks, and birds are common sights, creating a wildlife-rich environment. Jeep trails nearby provide opportunities for scenic drives, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy exploring Colorado's beautiful terrain.
Visitors should note that water availability is limited, so bringing your own is advisable. Cell service is minimal in the area (AT&T 1 bar), but Starlink provides reliable internet at 70mbps for those needing connectivity. The slow-paced environment encourages relaxation and disconnecting from daily routines.
Customer feedback highlights the campground's enduring charm. One visitor mentioned returning after 20 years, impressed by how unchanged and beautiful it remains. Another family praised the hosts' attentiveness, especially during their son's early departure for a birthday party, showcasing the staff's dedication to camper well-being.

Walked us around to find one that was perfect. Very unlevel nut we managed. Beautiful area with Bbq grill & picnic table. Everything was pristine.

Starlink 70mbsJeep trails abound beautiful scenery We camped at Thirty Mile Campground in a Motorhome.
Over 50 years of family camping at Thirty Mile and it never disappoints. Camp hosts Leah and Tami did a great job of keeping the restrooms clean and making us feel welcome. They even stopped to check when our son and his family had to leave a couple of days early to be sure there wasn't a problem with the site (no problem at all...they needed to get back home for a birthday party). See you there next year!
Well laid out campground with nice sites, some on the river or creek. Fire rings and tables with gravel pads. Clean restrooms and water before the hosts leave at the end of Sept. On a good note, if you do happen to be in the area after the hosts leave you can camp for free but the restrooms are locked and water shut off...but it's still very nice and only a few campers were there.
Me and my family have been coming almost every year for about 13 years now. The outhouses are always well kept and the camp hosts are very nice and helpful. There are 2 trails that start in the campground so you have easy access to a pleasant hike. there is also a big hill that is pretty challenging to climbed right outside of the campground and when you climb it you get a great view of the place, it's about 600 ft. up. The Rio Grande also runs right by the campground so there is great access to fishing.
This campground is a favorite of ours. Lots of spots but it's best to have reservations, it's popular! A few spots are first come, first served. We always fish the Rio Grande right here at this spot. Great trails if you like to hike
