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.

Lamoille Canyon is stunning so that adds to an already thoroughly positive experience at Thomas Canyon Campground. The hosts are very friendly and helpful.

Go every year, sometimes a couple times a year. Always enjoy it much, except longer camp days can be a little restless cause there isn't that much to do.

Stunningly beautiful location with the mountains all around the creek running through. Just what I needed after shelter-in-place.
Camp was clean and well tended. Camp host helpful and available. Water was a couple miles up the canyon.
Tough parts for me was the wind and rain. The aspen trees seemed in some distress. Seems to be critters infecting them.

Poured rain the whole time we were there, but we had a great time and did some fantastic hiking. Campground clean and quiet.
