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.

The camping spaces are a bit compact, but given the available space, it still was a good experience. The Riverside camping is enjoyable.

Campground is literally on the side of the highway. I would not recommend for a nature experience.

My campsite, I will keep the number private because I wanna be able to reserve it again. My campsite was beautiful, the river float right behind the campground which was just gorgeous. The bathrooms are very basic but they were very clean and they did not smell. The camp post was a really nice man and he did a great job doing his duties.

We plan annual family get togethers (9 sites) at Granite Flats, and have been staying there for years with no complaints. Normaly the Camp Host will make an introduction and go over the camp rules, bear danger etc. But this time the Host was only seen cleaning the bathrooms. He never spoke to anyone in our multiple campsite group. In fact we saw a family living in a car, stay in a nearby site, without reservations, leaving a bag of garbage and dog feces behind. We tried to contact the host, but they were not on the premises. His lack of oversight, involvement and management was non existent.
