Camping at Thirty Mile near Creede

Public campground · Creede · 35 campsites

A forested campground near hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreation at Thirty Mile centers on river activities and access to the Weminuche Wilderness: anglers, canoeists and swimmers take advantage of the Rio Grande here, and interpretive programs are offered regularly at the campground. Two nearby trailheads Squaw Creek and Weminuche Pass provide direct access into the Weminuche Wilderness and connect to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, making the area popular with hikers, backpackers and horse packers who head into the San Juan Mountains' rugged terrain (including three 14,000-foot peaks across the wilderness).

“Campground was great. Camp sites were not on top of each other. Bathrooms were very clean. Will definitely return next year. Loved that it was close to the reservoirs. Fishing was great! ”

Char L 5 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Very nice campground. Spacious sites water available.”

Ricky K 5 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“The campground itself was excellent. The 10 mile dirt road to get to it was tough. It was very rough and needed to be grated or leveled off. We had to go very slow pulling a trailer and the 10 miles took us 45 minutes. ”

How far ahead to book Thirty Mile

For July weekends, book about 180 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 155 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (5,186 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
