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 campground, only negative is that it's right next to the highway so pretty noisy, even in late night/early morning. Choose the campgrounds the closest to the river, the sound of the river helps drowning out the sound of the highway. I was in lot 64 which seemed like one of better ones: Very spacious, I could have picked 5 tents if I needed to, and right on the river. There was a small gravel path right next to this lot leading to a mini beach where you can get in the water, it was very nice. Lot is right next to the toilets, which were very clean and didn't smell. Close to a ton of mountain biking trails.

I had an amazing time with my friends at this campsite. I loved the Truckee river that was nearby and enjoyed my morning tea during my stays. However, this campsite is more of an RV campsite than tent set ups, and it was not relaxing with the highway right next to the campsite. I got used to the sound, but if you want something more quiet in a tent set up (which is what I used), this might not be the campsite for you.

Great campground and very nice host! Perfect location on the Truckee River and close to Tahoe!

The camp host wasn’t pleasant at all.
The campground, while beautiful-right on the Truckee River- is right on hwy 89, so quite noisy.

This campsite is terrible. Even though I had one of the better spots (closest to the Truckee River), the entire campground is way too close to Highway 88.
The passing car lights and the sound of louder vehicles really diminishes the outdoor experience. In my opinion, this site is only good for camping in an RV. I usually tent camp, but car camped here... and the headlights beaming into my car all night was obnoxious.
Also, the camp host never said anything about the family next door who pitched their tent 5 feet away from our fire pit... obviously encroaching by quite a bit into our site. I hope they enjoyed breathing our campfire smoke and listening to our discussions all night LOL.
Overall, this campground is good as a last resort... but it certainly wouldn't be my #1, 2, 3, 4, or even 5th choice.
