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.

Like all the other reviews say, it is VERY CLOSE to the highway, and while at times it's easy to block out the car noises, it's really hard to while you're camping and trying to sleep at night. But, it is what it is, and if you're looking to stay a night or two here for the location (because it is so close to Lake Tahoe, like 20min or something like that). Plus there's the little river on the other side of the campground, good for morning dips! (Cold!!)
Also, this campground is dog friendly, HOWEVER, if you have a dog, I recommend going to South Lake Tahoe!!! We could barely find anything dog friendly on the North Side in regards to beaches, but the South Side has a few good options, plus, we just enjoyed the south side more. :)

Location was amazing but the campsite is off a main highway we didn’t think it would be bad but you campsite 11is like 10 feet from that highway which is busy like 24/7 with cars driving speeds at 70mph! Not a restful site at all the other side camp12 and most even numbers are a little further from the road and right next to the river pretty amaizing! Probably won’t camp here again I have a toddler and my anxiety was through the roof not very fun if your trying to disconnect from the world!

We didn’t even stay because it is so noisy. We live in an urban area and the noise from the Truckee highway was worse than what we hear at home. Besides that there isn’t any shade unless you have the spots right along the Truckee River. I wouldn’t recommend if you are really into the quietness and beauty of nature.

I loved this place! i stayed on site 64 and i had the river to myself! great spot for 2-3 tents, bear locker, table, fire pit, and space to hang your hammock. The host was super nice and helpful. The best Birthday ever.
'm from Los Angeles and it is dry and sad out here, so when i saw what i would wake up to every morning i was grateful. FYI There is car noise since its by the highway but who cares you have a river to you self!!! Also was cool that there was a Mexican market and a grocery store for carne asada, wood and other last minute louse items. Love you truckee and Tahoe always in my heart!!
