What Guests Are Saying
Granite Flat campground is praised for its beautiful location near the Truckee River, clean facilities, and friendly camp hosts, making it a popular choice for annual visits. Many campers appreciate the easy access to outdoor activities like biking and floating, and the well-maintained restrooms add to the positive experience. However, road noise from nearby Highway 89 is a common concern, particularly at night, which can detract from the overall tranquility of the site.

Loved it! Clean, quite and the weather was perfect during the day. A bit cold at night.

Nice enough campsite and I was happy to get something in Tahoe on short notice.
Do NOT be fooled though. This campground is RIGHT next to a busy state highway where people routinely go 60+ mph. If noise is a problem for you look elsewhere. Period.
That said, I hate noise but I did get used to it and actually had a decent time. So there ya go

It's a great location and only gets knocked down a star because it is right on the highway which makes it really loud. This is not our first time here and won't be our last. Being close to Tahoe and Truckee is a plus. I read reviews about the grumpy camp host and they were right. We didn't have to have a conversation with him but we tried to pet his super friendly dog and that wasn't happening.

I chose this site as a place to stay while "getting to altitude" for a local race. This would not be a place I would choose for a regular camping experience due to the direct access to highway 89 (lots of noise)...that I had factored in for this trip. The bathrooms and garbage were well maintained. The camp host was not there the first couple of days, but they did have a listing of phone numbers to reach someone. I needed to call the ranger station as the last campers in my site had not vacated by 3 pm.
My only disappointment, which seems to be more the norm these days, is that multiple other campers chose to share their music with the those camping around them and with the noise allowance of 6 am to 10 pm, there does not seem to be anything one can do. So disappointing as camping should have noises like the stream, birds, wind...and maybe singing around the campfire.
