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.

Convenient camping spot just outside Truckee for that quick getaway that's still close to nature. Easy access to the river and most spots have shade. There is road noise but it is right next to Highway 89 so I call that a plus and a minus.

We stayed at site 63 with our 24’ trailer. We chose this because it was a “pull through” site although it just meant we parked the trailer on the road next to the site. It was a large site, nicely spaced out from the other sites, right on the river and with plenty of space at the site! Our kids loved throwing rocks in the water and attempting to fish. I would say it’s location was the best part. We rafted on the Truckee river and went to King’s Beach. We even got take out one night. You could here the highway noise, but I think the benefits of staying here outweighed the noise. I would recommend to other campers!

Campground is right on the freeway. Most of the campsites are very small. If you’re camping with dogs, children, or a decent size group of people, get a spot closest to the river. Easy night trip, wouldn’t do an extended weekend trip here.

Beautiful campsite, as it is right next to the river. Also, It is nice how close it is to the highway, as it is easy to access, and a shopping center is nearby for any needed supplies. However, it's close proximity to a relatively busy road makes for almost non-stop car noise. It is not that big of a deal, especially if you are a deep sleeper, as the noise is partially drowned out by the pleasant sound of the river's running water.

Super clean space where we stayed on number 13 and the water and bathroom next door to the campground, always quiet mostly guests had RV’s. I would call here again. Does get really hot around 8am because this space doesn’t have shade where the bench and food container box was so the ice in the cheat melted quickly but very quiet campground.
