My visit was early in the season as Forest Service workers were getting the camping area open. They were very friendly and respectful. The campground is immaculate.
Camping near the creek is nice and all campsites give you some privacy. Beautiful area

We had a very pleasant six nights at Thomas Canyon CG recently. The only thing that detracted from our experience was confusion concerning the water there. The posting on Rec,gov indicated that the water system was "temporarily out of service", and that campers should arrive with all the water that they would need for their stay. Upon our arrival at the CG, we found the water system working. However, there was no indication as to whether the water was drinkable or not. As there was not campground host on site, we spent most of our trip not using the available water from the taps. Finally, we were able to verify that it was drinkable by asking a Forest Service staff member. A simple notice on bulletin board would have been sufficient to convey this important information. The Forest Service could have done a better job in posting this key information!

Campground is overgrown and needs vegetation maintenance. No camp host. No firewood for sale. Our site (#19) had very little space for play.

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.
