Thomas Canyon campground has great views of the Lamoille Canyon and is close to trailheads. Campsites are well-spaced so are not too close to each other.

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.

The overgrowth around the roads and camp sites is horrible. You could barely open the camper doors without having grass and bushes hindering. The flying insects were also the worst I have ever seen. Even with spray, you could not comfortable sit out during the day.

I was astonished by the extraordinary views of the soaring cliffs, along side of and above Thomas Canyon campground. There was a flowing stream near the campground that offered very pleasant sounds during the evening hours. The camp host was very diligent in providing a watchful eye for all campers. The restrooms were clean with sufficient amount of toilet tissues available. Drinkable water was available for those campers who chose to fill their water containers from the spigot at the campground. There is an adventurous and arduous trail heading south and up to the base up Snow Lake Peak. Because of the extensive winter storms of 2022-2023, there were two substantial snow fields that confronted one as one walk towards Snow Lake Peak in July 2023. Once a person has arrived at the base of Snow Lake Peak, you are greeted to the sight of cascading waterfalls & a modest sized Alpine Lake. There many fly fishermen fishing along the stream. I recommend Thomas Canyon Campground for campers.

Magical pocket of Nevada. Literally feels like a place out of time and space. Campground is clean and quiet with the creek running through it.

First time visiting the Lamoille Canyon and staying at Thomas Canyon Campground. We were in awe driving in and really appreciated the rare snow melt that made the creeks turn to rivers and the local flora bloom! Camp hosts were full of local knowledge and eager to help. Our experience c e made some great memories. We can't wait to go back!

Amazing campground and hike! Drinking water is not always available as it was “being tested” during our visit. Bring water from town before you arrive.

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.
