Granite Flat (California)

The campground sits right between 89 and the Truckee River. We were lucky enough to get a spot next to the water. You can absolutely hear the traffic on 89, but it became background noise to us after a while because its moving traffic. If you're someone who wants peace and quiet I would not recommend this site, especially the sites closest to the highway - you're practically camping on the shoulder with a couple trees between you.

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. :)

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.

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!
