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.

The 4.4 mi Thomas Creek Hike is well worth it - it was very smoky when we camped, due to the CA wildfires, but the canyon was still absolutely breathtaking. You would never know this beautiful place existed in NV until you got there! Thomas Creek runs through most of the campground, at least in Loop C where we camped. Our campsite was quite small, but it was cozy and surrounded by lots of aspen trees. Campsites are close together, but there are plenty of trees and shrubbery in between so you don't see the next campsite at all. The restrooms were some of the cleanest I saw on my entire 9 day road trip across the Western US :)

Campground was very clean! We were impressed by the clean tables, fire pits, and restrooms. The camp host obviously took great pride in providing an impeccably clean campground. We would love to visit again!

The campground is accessible via I-80, with the nearest exits in Elko, followed by a southbound route on State Route 227 for approximately 25 miles. The final approach is via Forest Road 660, which connects to Lamoille Canyon.
