Wow, this place is amazing!! Camping amongst the trees and rivers, staring up at rocky cliffs that stand 1000s of feet above you. It was absolutely gorgeous!! Gave me Yosemite vibes, only nowhere near as crowded. We had just come from Yellowstone and we all agreed Lamoille canyon was even more beautiful 🙌 One of the best camp sites I've ever experienced. Only $19 per night and if you have a Natio... Wow, this place is amazing!! Camping amongst the trees and rivers, staring up at rocky cliffs that stand 1000s of feet above you.

This place surpassed all my expectations. While visiting in early June, the creeks were all rushing with running water that gave me a soothing feeling and drowned out any sounds of nearby neighbors. There was still snow on the top of the mountains melting. The campsite and bathroom were clean and nice. The campsite host answered all my questions about the area, and recommended trails.

I did not see a single piece of trash while visiting. I highly recommend site number 31 for it's proximity to the creek. I did not get any bug bites. The canyon was beautiful day and night.

This was one of my favorite campgrounds of the dozen and a half we stayed at in the last 2 months. This place has no hookups, but they had potable water and bathrooms (no showers). The creek was adorable and my boys had a great time swimming and playing in it. The best part is how quiet and clean it was. For the most part, the people staying there maintained their areas and respected the surround... This was one of my favorite campgrounds of the dozen and a half we stayed at in the last 2 months.

The best part is how quiet and clean it was. For the most part, the people staying there maintained their areas and respected the surrounding natural area. We walked up the trail that’s located at this campground and it was absolutely, breathtakingly gorgeous. I took pictures with my canon camera so I wasn’t able to upload the pictures from our hike, but trust me, it was worth the climb. I would recommend this place to anyone with a medium to small sized camper or RV or anyone tent camping. The attendant/camp host was extremely nice and helpful. It’s also a great place to hike.

I want to hide this gem from everyone! Its incredible views and campground location are perfect for families. The river runs right through the back sides of some sites. Please do clean up after yourselves, dogs and kids to keep it enjoyable for everyone.

Wonderful little campground. Bathrooms are very clean which makes this a very kid friendly place to camp. Only complaint would be that not all sites are appropriate for tents unless you don’t mind sleeping on asphalt. (Bring you’re heavy duty camp pads!) Bring water- I thought it was available but nope. Also recommend bringing a shade structure if you have one. The camp host was super friendly. So... Wonderful little campground.
