Located in the Routt National Forest, visitors can explore the nearby Mount Zirkel Wilderness or take a short drive to Steamboat Springs for hot springs and shopping. The campground offers amenities such as picnic tables, fire pits, and vault toilets. Reservations are available for some sites, while others are first-come-first-serve. There are a total of 27 campsites available. An interesting fact about the area is that it is named after the nearby Thirty Mile Peak, which was originally thought to be thirty miles from the town of Hahns Peak. However, it is actually only eight miles away. The best time to visit is during the summer months of June to September, with average temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to mid-70s Fahrenheit. This is a beautiful time to explore the area's hiking trails and enjoy the cool mountain air.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
