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.

Loved it! Clean, quite and the weather was perfect during the day. A bit cold at night.

It's a great location and only gets knocked down a star because it is right on the highway which makes it really loud. This is not our first time here and won't be our last. Being close to Tahoe and Truckee is a plus. I read reviews about the grumpy camp host and they were right. We didn't have to have a conversation with him but we tried to pet his super friendly dog and that wasn't happening.

I chose this site as a place to stay while "getting to altitude" for a local race. This would not be a place I would choose for a regular camping experience due to the direct access to highway 89 (lots of noise)...that I had factored in for this trip. The bathrooms and garbage were well maintained. The camp host was not there the first couple of days, but they did have a listing of phone numbers to reach someone. I needed to call the ranger station as the last campers in my site had not vacated by 3 pm.
My only disappointment, which seems to be more the norm these days, is that multiple other campers chose to share their music with the those camping around them and with the noise allowance of 6 am to 10 pm, there does not seem to be anything one can do. So disappointing as camping should have noises like the stream, birds, wind...and maybe singing around the campfire.

The campsite was next to the main freeway, I felt unsafe. A car accident next to you and you are done. The vegetation is overgrown and hard to spot the site if you arrive at night.

We love staying at Granite Flats. The campground/bathrooms are always clean. There is access to the river. Due to fire conditions this year, there was no charcoal cooking or wood camp fires allowed. We have been wanting a propane fire ring for a while now, I guess we just need to get one. The sites are good sized, provide a picnic table and bear box for your goods.

Noisy due to the proximity of the highway. The bathrooms are pretty smelly. Otherwise it's beautiful and clean, running water and the river right there.
