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.

Two adults and two children in our family enjoyed our site with room for our vehicle and two tents. There was shade later in the afternoon (Site 29). We hiked from the trailhead nearby - steep at first, but beautiful. Restrooms were stocked and cleaned a few days earlier. The drawback was the lack of camp host for support when we arrived at our designated time and the previous occupants had stayed on, thinking that they had a longer reservation. Actually, they had reserved another site and had expected to move, but didn't have clear records where they were supposed to go. Within a half hour, they cooperated by moving and finding the correct site with their name.

Nice secluded & quiet campground. Quiet, that is, except for the soothing sound of the river coursing through the camp and tumbling over rocks on its way. Dark sky is great for observing the heavens. Recommend hiking the Thomas Canyon trail from the campground and driving further up the canyon from the camp to see meadows and beaver dams & lodges. Pit toilets in the campground are adequate, and water spigots are conveniently located to collect water for filling fresh tanks. We stayed in site 3 with a 35’ bumper pull travel trailer. Our site had a nice concrete pad for the picnic table, camp grill, and our camp chairs.

Great camping spot. Bathrooms are easily accessible and clean. Water available at spikets. River was nearby. Hiking trail was excellent beside river/up canyon right at campground. Camp table was in great condition. Friendly campers and close to town.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- 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.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
