What Guests Are Saying
Thomas Canyon Campground is praised for its stunning views, peaceful atmosphere, and excellent hiking opportunities, making it a favorite for many visitors. Campers appreciate the clean facilities, proximity to nature, and the soothing sounds of the nearby creek. However, some concerns were raised about maintenance issues, including a lack of camp hosts and cleanliness of restrooms, which detracted from the overall experience.

Great campsite! We booked a tent site and it was perfect. Big enough to pitch our tent and have room to move around and cook our dinner on the fire pit. Lots of trees and close to the clean bathrooms. Would definitely come back again.

This is a beautiful location. River running through the campground. Check an aerial view if you want a site that faces the rushing water. Very very clean. 40-some sites, but also feels small. Lots of privacy between sites, super clean rest rooms, large campsites each with fire pit and grill and cement pad for table. Wonderful easy hiking trail up the river with lots of waterfalls and little swimming hole areas if you want to dip in. Will definitely consider this again if in the area. And, true, no cell coverage at all. Nice in many ways.

How can one go wrong with staying in a Federal Campground in one of the most incredible canyons and mountains in this country. The Ruby Mountains are a place one needs to spend time in to explore.

Dare I say the prettiest campsite in Nevada? Our new favorite overnight spot along 80 to get between CA and UT.
