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 camp host was very friendly but also kept a respectful distance allowing us privacy and peace at the camp site. Bathrooms were the cleanest vault toilets I’ve ever used. Being right next to the river was amazing. The only downside is that you can hear the traffic on the road all day and night. It’s not so loud that I couldn’t sleep but it’s something you’ll be aware of while camping. Overall a great campground with lots of river access points in the campground.

It is a great location, except for being too close to a noisy busy road. There is a lot of deferred maintenance.

Helpful camp host. Right on the river and close to anything you need. Bathrooms and park is very clean. This is my “go to” spot when I want to get away and do nothing or hike, raft, hop over to Tahoe or shop and eat in Truckee.

Road noise is a lot to deal with. Campground was clean and host was nice. recommend ear plugs if you camp close to road here.

Cutting straight to it - this site didn’t have a parking spot connected, it’s right next to the highway & bathroom, and it’s very small. There’s only space for 1 tent.

I renamed Granite Flats "The 405". That you are so close and have access to the awesome Truckee River, you have to deal with tremendous noise from the 89 Highway. I cannot imagine sleeping in anything but a well built travel trailer although many were braving it out sleeping in tents just yards from vehicles going 60 mph well into the night. Garbage truck comes through very early as well several commuters who after many days we recognized the honking they choose to bother you with about 6:30 am. It's a great and usually available stop over spot when we are passing through, but will not stay more than an overnight in the future.
The camp host was kind and helpful.

The space overall was clean but the location/ site was extremely noisy. We heard cars passing through the highway all night and could barely sleep.

We have reserved this site for the the past few years because we loved it so much but when we showed up we found that they had cut down two trees and left the remaining logs making half the site unusable. We have enjoyed this site so much and unfortunately they took all the shade and views away.

I am a local repeat visitor of this site. Parking pad was perfect size for my camper van. Disappointed that there was no onsite camp host this year. Had a wonderful time under the Full Buck moon!
