Granite Flat (california)

Beautiful river you can go into the river, gorgeous bike trail along the river, shopping close by.

Gracious camp host. Pit toilets didn’t stink too much, and the river was fun to play in. Truckee is really close by.

The location is close to Truckee and Tahoe and I80. The traffic noise of the campground is not for everyone. I found it relaxing, being that it reminded me of when I was a child sleeping near a busy road. Ear plugs and a sleep mask may help.

The Truckee river flowing next to camp is awesome. A refreshing stop after a nice day of hiking.

Bathrooms were clean and water at the spigot was cold.

The campground has plenty of rocks for those who tent camp.

Bear boxes were very spacious. Much larger than others we have used in Yellowstone, or the Yosemite area.

The camp host, Don, was super accommodating and friendly. The river front campsite was stunningly beautiful and the whole camp was very clean and tidy.

Granite Flat was a pleasant experience. We camped in our trailer. This is dry camping, so come prepared with water, and solar or a generator. You can dump your RV sewage down the highway at a nearby fuel station.

The camp ground sites are fairly smallish, my family member reserved the site next door (#4) and the sites spot for a tent wasn’t level nor big enough to accommodate their tent. It had to go on our site. Pay close attention to photos.

Located on the Truckee River, the sound of the river is soothing. We watched a beaver build up his small dam. Little chipmunks scurry about.

Campground has water spigots and vault toilets for ammenities.

Campsite was clean as were pit toilets. Lots of road noise from HWY 89 up until midnight and starting again at about 5. Not much privacy between sites but fellow campers were generally pretty considerate.

The kids love the river. It would’ve been nice to have flush toilets, but other than that, it was great our favorite.

Very beautiful here and campsites are right on the river.

The space was very close to the road. A nice Forest Service employee advised me on how to parallel park for safety along the campsite.

The camp host was not the most friendly. As a woman camping alone, I felt that he was very abrupt when asking for my 'documents' to prove that I was registered for the space. I had the documents printed, which he should have had from the computer system. If I had not had copies I feel that he would have escalated the situation. I think I was treated rudely by that person due to the 'causes' that I support which were on a sign in the rear of my vehicle's window. He made me feel unsafe.

We had site 60 two nights and again the next week for one night but moved next door for a second night. Enjoyed the river view and just relaxing and having a camp fire.
