Summary
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.

Very nice, well maintained camp. Site 9A was nice but a bit too close to the restroom. Camp sites 22 and higher are closer to the water and may be more desirable. I would definitely camp here again.

My husband and I LOVE this campground. We've been every August for the last three years. It's perfect for our needs; quiet, secluded, and beautiful. The bathrooms are clean, the setting sublime, and the camp hosts have always been friendly. We try to stay in site 33 which is at the beginning of the Thomas Creek Trail making it most convenient to head out on a hike. When it's time to pull up stakes, we always drive into the Lamoille Canyon to its end to take in the last views of breathtaking scenery before heading home.

Very clean bathrooms! Sites are kinda small and close together, and many had no views when the trees are leafed out, but the shade was welcomed. Even on the holiday weekend patrons were not particularly rowdy and once the weekend crowds cleared out, it was even more delightful. Unfortunately the trail description for the Thomas Creek Canyon hike was misleading — it indicated only 500’ of elevation gain to the cirque, whereas the actual gain is more like 1200’. The hike was definitely worth it to us regardless, but I’m sure there are folks who might be better served to know the truth of what kind of exertion to expect so they can plan their day’s activities accordingly.

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.
