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.

It was a bummer that the water was out when we were there, but we loved this campground. Amazing views of the canyons and peaks right from your campsite. Can't wait to return again! The hike up along Thomas Creek was great, make sure you go all the way to the upper basin.

We love Thomas Canyon! The campground staff was very friendly, helpful and kept the bathrooms very clean. The only thing that was difficult for us, as well as all who camped there, during our 10 day stay was no available water. It was definitely "DRY" camping! We were able to fill our 5 gallon container at a camp spot further up. Inconvenient but doable. All in all it was a good time had by all.

Campground was nice and right next to a creek and has a great hike within the campground that goes to waterfalls. Highly recommended.

There was no potable water available at Thomas Canyon Campground which wasn’t known until we arrived. You should let people know that these isn’t safe drinking water available either through email or on your website. Thanks.
