Really stunning views from the campsite. Great to walk around and swim in the creek. Good enough space between sites.

Love going up and visiting Lamoille canyon but definitely wish people would turn off their generators at a reasonable time. There was no camp host at the time and hearing loud generators running until 1 am was ridiculous

We were surprised by the sheer beauty of this area. It would have been nice to have hook-ups but it’s understandable that they don’t since it’s in a remote canyon. The road in was paved. Hope to stay here again.

We love this campground.
It’s a relaxing place to come to get away, quiet and peaceful.
Each time we stayed here it was extremely clean.
There are lots of hikes available.

Simple campground in a beautiful place. No bells and whistles offered or needed. Thomas Canyon hike a delight. 5 miles round trip in the Ruby Mountains.

With no camp host the bathrooms were only cleaned and restocked with toilet paper once during our stay. At the very least someone should check every couple of days and restock. The women’s bathroom on b-loop the door was locked half the time. Think the door handle needs replaced. Just seemed poorly maintained.

The campgrounds have not been trimmed, the grasses are way too high around the firepits, the trees are not trimmed and are encroaching on the roadways and camping pads. The toilets have not been pumped out, some are so full they had to locked up. Why are they being locked up instead of being pumped out? The campground has been under a 'no host available' situation for most of the summer. Without a host nothing is being maintained, including the toilets that are still open running out of toilet paper and not being cleaned for more than a week at a stretch! A few years ago the campground was well maintained, the last two years they have been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. Very sad that LaMoille Canyon draws people for 100's of miles to come and find it it the shape that it is now. I have been coming to this canyon since before it was paved, please do something to help it back to the splendor we have come to expect. The cost of camping has not gone down, but the quality of the facilities has certainly gone that direction. We talked to a Forest service employee one day, he said he was one of only 2 employees to oversee multiple sites, so he told us 'I don't know what to tell you'. I hope this sad situation can be rectified, if this season then certainly by next year. Please pass my comments on to whoever is overseeing these facilities, if they are not aware of what is happening, they need to be. Thank you for letting me voice my concerns. Mike and Debbie
