Located in the scenic Lamoille Canyon just outside of Elko, Thomas Canyon Campground serves up a nice slice of high elevation paradise!

This area is considered a majestic island in the desert where you can hike through the Ruby Mountains, explore the fall color in groves of aspens, dive into sparkling lakes and streams, explore wildflower-filled meadows, climb jagged peaks, and pitch your tent below the dizzying sky. Elko or bust baby!
