Thirtymile Campground sits along the Rio Grande River in Rio Grande National Forest, reached by a 30-to-40-minute drive on an unpaved road that low-clearance vehicles have navigated without issue. Sites run close to the water, which keeps temperatures cooler and wetter than campgrounds set back from the river. The campground includes drinking water, vault toilets, picnic tables, and firewood from the camp host, with reservations available and a 51-foot RV maximum. Anglers will find a dedicated parking area, and an open meadow on-site works for stargazing after dark. Wildlife, including deer and fox, moves through regularly, so food storage matters. Campers exploring campgrounds near City of Creede will find this one open from late May through late September.
