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 location, close to Truckee and hiking a short drive away. It is situated close to the freeway so there is road noise noticeable at night. The walk-in tent site 74 is mostly sun. Verizon service poor (texts okay, cell data too slow)

The location is super convenient to Truckee, The Lake and lots of hiking. Not a place I would spend more than two nights only due to the campground being next to the busy road. The campsites are good size and flat and it is beautiful to sit by the river.

The setting of the Truckee River is beautiful but the campsites are VERY close together. We were in site 34 and the only flat ground for our tent was backed up to the picnic table of the group site 32.
Looks like the nicer and bigger sites are first come first serve.

Very clean campground and a friendly camp host. Beautiful area and nice river running through the backside of the campground. One big downfall is that it's right off the highway. You can see and hear all the traffic.
