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.

I love Lamoille Canyon. It is a beautiful place with killer geology. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is the campground is sort of weird and not set up really for tents. The tent pads are small, and they seem to be gravel covering asphalt. So you can't get the tent pegs in. There is also little shade. There is also no campground host. I miss the old days when there was a friendly retired person holding down the fort. A lovely man called Gary did come by to sell wood which was nice.
The other thing that gets tired is that all the sites are booked out, but people don't show. Recreation.gov kinda ruined camping that way. But as a result, it was very quiet.

The campground is not kept up. Absolutely no shade in heat of summer in many sites. No host present when it says online there is a host.

Thomas Canyon Campground is a beautiful place to camp. The sites are secluded because of the vegetation. Hiking up to Lamoille Lake the flowers were beautiful. Will definitely go there again.

Have camped here numerous times and always enjoy. The new payment kiosk is disappointing because it does not allow input of site number or take national parks senior pass. Also, the campground was overgrown & needs some love. Picnic tables are in terrible shape. Bathrooms are very clean. No camp host this year.

The campground was nice, but I was hoping for a shaded campsite. The campsite details online said this was shaded. I would describe this site as full sun. The fire ring and BBQ were right next to some long grass. I would think they would remove some of the grass and branches, or move the fire pit and BBQ farther away from the foliage. This was a fire risk. Other than these, it was a nice campground. Very quiet on the July 4th weekend. There is a lovely creek that runs through the campground.

Very good sites for tent campers. The sites not designated for RVs have excellent privacy from other sites nearby.

Thomas Canyon is a great campground. Lots of trees and shade. The grounds and the toilets were clean. You can hike up Thomas Canyon from camp and is a beautiful hike. Only 5 miles to the Lamoille trailhead at the end of the road.
