Thirty Mile Site #25

Very nice peaceful campground. We had no cell service at our site but when we drove through there were a few spots that did. There are only 3 spots on the little area off to the side where we were and we were lucky the night we were there and there was no one camped on either side of us. We could here the creek and the Rio Grande which made for great sleeping.

Amazing stay. Great Stargazing

Campground closed on sept. 6th, all facilities closed. River access from most campsites, some are back in, some pull through, and some walk to site. Amphitheater, loads of toilets, water points, and sink/disposal water points. Great stargazing and access to the river for fishing. Loads of hunters in October and lots of wildlife to see!

Nice wild area

Early in June there are two moose that have babies in the area so keep your eyes open. The toilets are clean and the river helps drown out any noise from your neighbors.

If you’re looking for more rustic tent camping there is an informal area just downstream.
