The campground was quiet and clean. There were problems with reserved sites and other people being in them. This was the case with us .

Very clean campground with private sites and great views. The stream running through the campground is absolutely stunning and teeming with trout. Did the Tomas canyon hike it was pretty moderate trail with exceptional views.

Thomas Canyon Campground is located 7 miles up Lamoille Canyon in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. The canyon road comes to a dead-end a few miles up from the campground where a major trailhead verges off into hikes of varying lengths. The campground itself is fairly spartan with 42 campsites, a few potable water stations, and clean restrooms with vaulted toilets -- rustic, but adequate. There are no showers or other amenities.
There is also a trailhead inside the campground that begins at campsite 33. The hike is fairly steep, but levels off periodically as it follows a stream up the mountain with several small waterfalls. The campground and hiking trials are dog friendly but do require dogs to be leashed. Overall, the campsites provide little seclusion. We found the campground to be crowded, noisy, and the Host to be indifferent to our questions/concerns. I would recommend Thomas Canyon Campground as a stopping point to a better adventure, but not as a vacation destination. There are too many superior Campgrounds to be found.

Beautiful location. Campsites have decent privacy, and the camp hosts are terrific.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
