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.

Great campsite directly on the river. Vault toilets but the camp host kept them amazingly clean (saw her cleaning 2+ times a day). Huge shout-out to her. No water/electricity at campsite but had potable water fountains spread through-out the campsite that tasted better than our tap-water at home. Some road-noise being so close to the highway but not terrible. Only issue we had was the smell of cannabis each evening from the large group next to us (but since this is California, not sure what we could have done about it). Absolutely would camp here again if we were in the area. Really easy access to Olympic Village to watch the Western States 100 Ultra-marathon.

The only bad part of Granite Flats is road noise. Other than that it’s a great campground. Short drive to Donner Lake and and about 30 to 40 minutes to Lake Tahoe.
