Great location with great views! A stream runs through the campground, and you can swim in it!

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.

One of the most beautiful places my wife and I have ever been…..and I’ve been to the real Alps!!
This awesome place out in the middle of Nevada was unreal and the hikes were fantastic!!
We are going to try and get a spot in late spring when even more waterfalls are running and snow is hanging on the cathedral walls surrounding the camp grounds.

Camp Host this year did not take notice to the pit toilets, which were so full that the waste touched the base of the white plastic you sit on. His solution was to just lock the door and not leave a note to why it was locked.
Then he was unaware of two volleyball sized hornet nests up by the other pit toilets. The nests were active. His idea was to cut them down into a garbage can. Then he thought to call the Forest Rangers. When we left the nests were still there and the pit toilet still locked with no note.
Then the host didn’t quiet a group playing dance music after night.
The site is beautiful. The host change every year.

OK for camping, some sites have more shade. HIking at the end of the road, and up Thomas Canyon was great.
