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.

Very nice campsite on the Truckee River.... close to Lake Tahoe.
My negative comment is about Recreation.gov. When I made the reservation I put in that we'd have 2 cars at the site. Recreation.gov then gave me a price that I paid.... only to learn once set up that I owed another $5 for the 2nd car. I'm not quibbling about the fee... I just thought since recreation.gov asked how many cars that they had included in my checkout. Should have been able to pay everything at once. Fortunately I had a $5 bill on site, otherwise I'd have to have driven to Truckee to find an ATM.

Site 4 has no level ground large enough for even a moderately sized tent. Traffic noise all night long. Toilets are nice, and quality TP was very appreciated.

Very nice campground on the river. Great location to visit the Donner museum and to hike the Donner tunnel trails.

Lots of road noise and not much privacy. We happened to be there when it was 90 degrees and our campsite was directly in the sun with no shade. I think there are better places along the Truckee River.
