Thomas Canyon Campground offers stunning scenery, clean facilities, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a favorite among visitors. Many appreciated the secluded campsites and beautiful hiking trails, notably the one leading to Lamoille Lake. However, some noted the lack of a camp host this year, resulting in maintenance issues and a need for improved care of the grounds and bathrooms.

Absolutely beautiful area! Only stayed one night on our travels to Colorado, but will definitely be back. Can’t wait to hike, fish, and explore more of the canyon.

Our family reserved the sites 17-20 in B loop for a camp with our 3 adult sons and their families. Grandkids were able to ride bikes 'round and 'round the loop until dark with no fear of cars. kids and dogs also enjoyed playing in Thomas Creek behind the campsites. Beautiful hike to Island Lake with many more hiking trails we didn't have time to explore. Bathrooms were spotless and camp host friendly and helpful.

We stayed at Site 18 which is a large site and fairly secluded. There is a concrete pad with a picnic table, grill & fire pit. There are shade trees, but the sun in July left the site fairly exposed until early evening. The pit toilets are maintained and just two sites away. We had a wonderful time, but next time we will try to stay in Loop C which is closer to the rushing creek.

On our next visit we are bringing a hummingbird feeder. The hummingbirds were trying to feed on anything that was red. Fun to watch.

The bathrooms were kept very clean. Hosts were helpful and friendly. A special botany class by a state biologist was a bonus! Good value for the camping experience.

Take I-80 to any Elko exit and head south to Idaho Street. Turn south on 12th Street (from the east) or on 5th Street (from the west), to State Route 227. Travel 25 mi on SR 227 to Forest Road 660 (Lamoille Canyon Scenic Byway). Travel 8 mi on FR 660 to the campground.
The campground is accessible via I-80, with the nearest exits in Elko, followed by a southbound route on State Route 227 for approximately 25 miles. The final approach is via Forest Road 660, which connects to Lamoille Canyon.
