Site 11 backed right up to the creek which was delightful! After a long day of hiking, it was great to soak our feet in the cold creek. Bathrooms nearby were clean and did not smell at all. We had a great experience here and would come back again!

Thomas Canyon is a gem that never fails to impress. The canyon and the river are gorgeous. I was a tiny bit dismayed that there was not a campground host this year. Other than that, all good.

Toilets were in dire need of cleaning. The floors were filthy. No toilet paper when we first got there but the ranger did come around and fill TP a little later. We walked around all 3 loops. Our site was level but many sites in loop B were on a good slant.

Thomas Canyon is a great campground. Lots of trees and shade. The grounds and the toilets were clean. You can hike up Thomas Canyon from camp and is a beautiful hike. Only 5 mi to the Lamoille trailhead at the end of the road.

Very good sites for tent campers. The sites not designated for RVs have excellent privacy from other sites nearby.

The campground was nice, but I was hoping for a shaded campsite. The campsite details online said this was shaded. I would describe this site as full sun. The fire ring and BBQ were right next to some long grass. I would think they would remove some of the grass and branches, or move the fire pit and BBQ farther away from the foliage. This was a fire risk. Other than these, it was a nice campground. Very quiet on the July 4th weekend. There is a lovely creek that runs through the campground.

Have camped here numerous times and always enjoy. The new payment kiosk is disappointing because it does not allow input of site number or take national parks senior pass. Also, the campground was overgrown & needs some love. Picnic tables are in terrible shape. Bathrooms are very clean. No camp host this year.

- 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.
