Campground was well maintained and quiet

@HunterC9713F80 · Camped on Aug 16, 2025 at Campsite #28

Nice quiet campground with good foliage to keep your site private.

The campgrounds have not been trimmed, the grasses are way too high around the firepits, the trees are not trimmed and are encroaching on the roadways and camping pads. The toilets have not been pumped out, some are so full they had to locked up. Why are they being locked up instead of being pumped out? The campground has been under a 'no host available' situation for most of the summer. Without a host nothing is being maintained, including the toilets that are still open running out of toilet paper and not being cleaned for more than a week at a stretch! A few years ago the campground was well maintained, the last two years they have been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. Very sad that LaMoille Canyon draws people for 100's of miles to come and find it it the shape that it is now. I have been coming to this canyon since before it was paved, please do something to help it back to the splendor we have come to expect. The cost of camping has not gone down, but the quality of the facilities has certainly gone that direction. We talked to a Forest service employee one day, he said he was one of only 2 employees to oversee multiple sites, so he told us 'I don't know what to tell you'. I hope this sad situation can be rectified, if this season then certainly by next year. Please pass my comments on to whoever is overseeing these facilities, if they are not aware of what is happening, they need to be. Thank you for letting me voice my concerns. Mike and Debbie

OK for camping, some sites have more shade. HIking at the end of the road, and up Thomas Canyon was great.

@JamesK1667053 · Camped on Aug 6, 2025 at Campsite #17

Nice clean shaded site

Camp Host this year did not take notice to the pit toilets, which were so full that the waste touched the base of the white plastic you sit on. His solution was to just lock the door and not leave a note to why it was locked.Then he was unaware of two volleyball sized hornet nests up by the other pit toilets. The nests were active. His idea was to cut them down into a garbage can. Then he thought to call the Forest Rangers. When we left the nests were still there and the pit toilet still locked with no note.Then the host didnt quiet a group playing dance music after night.The site is beautiful. The host change every year.

One of the most beautiful places my wife and I have ever been..and Ive been to the real Alps!!This awesome place out in the middle of Nevada was unreal and the hikes were fantastic!!We are going to try and get a spot in late spring when even more waterfalls are running and snow is hanging on the cathedral walls surrounding the camp grounds.

@MatthewK865533 · Camped on Jul 24, 2025 at Campsite #19

Beautiful views! be warned, camp sites are pretty small, 1 small to med tent will fit in most tent pads max.

@jessieb30CAC22 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #33

This campsite is one of my favorites ever, this spot was just not the best. It's right off the trail so it feels like there's constantly people walking through your campsite.

@LeaW90547A6D44 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #35

Great location with great views! A stream runs through the campground, and you can swim in it!

@MaryB2951694 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #18

Facilities very clean, and campground was well organized with clearly marked spots. The only issue is that it seems to be common practice for people to place reserve tickets at first-come-first-serve spots. Many had handwritten payment tickets to hold spots for dates that were in the future, but these were different than the printout reservation slips.

@DonD4203855 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #20

Beautiful camp ground. Clean and quiet

@GeorgeA8786885 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #3

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.

@AnthonyB906983 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #29

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.

@SarinaR055EA38 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #24

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.

@GradyP9C2B36F1 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #8

Beautiful Ruby Mts and rugged trails a gem for camping in Thomas Canyon.I believe lack of camp host a negative a negative to a somewhat remote location.

@StephenK359283 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #4

Beautiful place. No dump station for campers-the only negative.

@HilleginaA75B5 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #8

Very nice campground

@AndrewH3730305 · Camped on Jun 14, 2025 at Campsite #19

Campground is overgrown and needs vegetation maintenance. No camp host. No firewood for sale. Our site (#19) had very little space for play.

@DavidRS3C994CE · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #35

We had a very pleasant six nights at Thomas Canyon CG recently. The only thing that detracted from our experience was confusion concerning the water there. The posting on Rec,gov indicated that the water system was "temporarily out of service", and that campers should arrive with all the water that they would need for their stay. Upon our arrival at the CG, we found the water system working. However, there was no indication as to whether the water was drinkable or not. As there was not campground host on site, we spent most of our trip not using the available water from the taps. Finally, we were able to verify that it was drinkable by asking a Forest Service staff member. A simple notice on bulletin board would have been sufficient to convey this important information. The Forest Service could have done a better job in posting this key information!the only thing that detracted

@KellyB8439114 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #33

Bathrooms were out of TP for several days

@MaxC8330004 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #33

Very clean, very calm, very cool

@AdeleSEBAAAC97 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #36

My visit was early in the season as Forest Service workers were getting the camping area open. They were very friendly and respectful. The campground is immaculate.Camping near the creek is nice and all campsites give you some privacy. Beautiful area

@JoyceBB8E4686A · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #15

Very clean bathrooms! Sites are kinda small and close together, and many had no views when the trees are leafed out, but the shade was welcomed. Even on the holiday weekend patrons were not particularly rowdy and once the weekend crowds cleared out, it was even more delightful. Unfortunately the trail description for the Thomas Creek Canyon hike was misleading it indicated only 500 of elevation gain to the cirque, whereas the actual gain is more like 1200. The hike was definitely worth it to us regardless, but Im sure there are folks who might be better served to know the truth of what kind of exertion to expect so they can plan their days activities accordingly.

Wonderful campground with the river running right through it. Some sites are incredible others average. Campground host is grumpy and unhelpful.

@ChazInSoCal - CA

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
