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 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 mi 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.

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.
