Great stargazing camping!
Me and some friends wanted to stargaze a meteor shower so we were looking for spots with good star visibility. This was a great spot, the moonlight dimmed the stars a bit but we still had wonderful views. It was a one day one night trip so we didn't have time to explore the area but we had a great time. It's super easy to get there and the roads are good. The camping site has bear box, portable bathrooms, fire pit, chairs, picnic table. Highly recommend!

The location overall was good. Easy to find, about 45 mins from Tahoe, and quite private.
However, as other campers have mentioned, the train is quite loud. The site is around 100 yards from the train line and it is *very loud* enough at its loudest that you can’t have a conversation with other people. It went by around 3-4 times during the night and made sleeping quite difficult. If you’re a hard sleeper, maybe this isn’t an issue for you.
The site did have a porta-potty which was nice but overall the site is not super well maintained. There is trash in places and also found bullet casings.
It wasn’t the worst by any means but definitely enough I’d say I wouldn’t recommend for a peaceful weekend.

Nice and large secluded campsite, Just the right spot for star gazing. Chairs table onsite, would definitely recommend it.

Private spacious site
We enjoyed our stay at Blue Canyon Happy Place. We had two small trailers and there was plenty of room. Since it is nice and flat and a clearing, that did limit some of the shade during mid day. The sun shade helped and we brought our own too. The railroad is close and the trains are loud as described, but I like the sound of trains. However they did wake me in the night once or twice. There are two lakes also that are not too far away, less than 1/2 hour, but they were crowded during labor day. I loved the privacy of this location and the ability to be away from other campers. I look forward to seeing what else is done with the property. I will definitely return, especially in Spring or Fall when the weather is not as hot.

Beautiful campsite!
Our family loved this campsite. It had plenty of flat land for our tent and we enjoyed the fire pit at night. The bathrooms were clean and having 2 to choose from felt like camping luxury. Our van drove easily over the bumpy road so no problems there. We loved the beautiful views and our kids said it was a wonderful camping trip! Thank you!
