Reno, NV · 1 site · Tent, RV
We love to pass our free time here in the sunshine and juniper drafts overlooking the Sierras. Some days we watch the electric storms across the valley, other afternoons we picnic and nap while listening to the birds and wind. We love the peace and silence, which feels remarkably remote and only 20 minutes from Reno.

Great area..lots of trees and shade. Fun to be more off grid and away from a traditional campground. Host,Lorrie, is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area for places to hike wander and play in the river.
Very much in line with outdoor ethic and leave no trace concepts. We will definitely return for a longer visit.

My pack 🐕 and I had such an amazing time camping at Blue Canyon Happy Place! 🌲✨ The views were absolutely stunning, and the peaceful vibe made it even better. We didn’t even mind the late-night trains passing by honestly, it added to the charm. At night, we stargazed by the campfire while the dogs practiced their place/rest before bed. The drive to the campsite was gorgeous, and the whole trip was pure bliss. We’ll definitely be booking again! Thanks to Nicholas for being an incredible Super Host!

Great little spot for shakedown overnighter in my new rig. It was nice to have the site all to ourselves so my dog could freely roam. I loved seeing the stars through my window whenever I’d wake during the night. Bring mosquito spray!

We had a nice overnight trip. It was nice. There is a picnic table, chairs, and porta potty. It is a nice spot to be alone. Lots of trains. The only one that was a bother was the one late at night Thank you

This spot was a nice private getaway during an otherwise crowded memorial day weekend at our regular haunts. The train is very close by, but it doesn’t go by often enough to be annoying and earplugs at night helped. I had train dreams the second night but slept like a baby…playing with trains…lol. I would stay here again. The night sky was 💯

This is a very nice place to camp. Hugh property with plenty of open space and the hosts are excellent people. There's some wine tasting close by but not many restaurants or grocery stores, so bring what you need.
