Great site 027 on the water

The only bad part of Granite Flats is road noise. Other than that its a great campground. Short drive to Donner Lake and and about 30 to 40 minutes to Lake Tahoe.

I am a local repeat visitor of this site. Parking pad was perfect size for my camper van. Disappointed that there was no onsite camp host this year. Had a wonderful time under the Full Buck moon!

Middle row of campsites are medium tolerable. The highway is very noisy, it's hard to feel like you're in the forest. The sites by the highway are the worst. The sites by the river seem pretty nice, and the river sound muffles the freeway sound. All sites are small. There is also a great little lagoon by the river, where a ring of rocks has created a calmer area for wading that's great for kids. There's also a nice dry grassy bank for sitting. If not for the river and grassy bank, then this campsite would definitely be not nice at all compared to every other place we've stayed at. Restrooms were pretty clean for pit toilets. No wood sold here.

Decent clean campsite with easy river access. The road noise was pretty bad throughout the night however. Bring earplugs.

@VictoriaW12824 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #49

Very clean camp. Nice campers. Quiet times were complied by campers. Very nice camp hostess.

I had an awesome time camping at Granite flat. My kids loved how the river was so close to our campsite.Only downfall was the cars on the highway. We heard big trailers passing and the lights of the cars reflected at night.

@RobertF6718628 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #31

Very good campground, great location. Peaceful camping experience.

@JulianTA7EFF03 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #63

Great campsite directly on the river. Vault toilets but the camp host kept them amazingly clean (saw her cleaning 2+ times a day). Huge shout-out to her. No water/electricity at campsite but had potable water fountains spread through-out the campsite that tasted better than our tap-water at home. Some road-noise being so close to the highway but not terrible. Only issue we had was the smell of cannabis each evening from the large group next to us (but since this is California, not sure what we could have done about it). Absolutely would camp here again if we were in the area. Really easy access to Olympic Village to watch the Western States 100 Ultra-marathon.

can be loud next to the highway, but a lovely spot to stay

@BethanyS9428F7 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #65

The site we had had lots of space and was right next to the river- it was lovely!

@DeniseGFB2E464 · Camped on Jun 7, 2025 at Campsite #49

tHE HOST WAS INFORMATIVE, gracious and honorable. The campground was nice.

@EmilyK1749999 · Camped on Jun 4, 2025 at Campsite #34

Loved that the sites were so close to the beautiful Truckee River! Downfall was that the sites were really close together. We didn't mind the traffic sound from the nearby Hwy, still a peaceful campground. Bathrooms were well maintained and clean which is always a plus!

@EdB6452854 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #54

Great little campground alongside the Truckee River. Hes some affection noise from the adjacent highway, but you tune it out pretty quickly.

@KevinG8036592 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #65

Campground was not as clean as previous years. Maybe due to budget cuts. We were there for the opening weekend. Lots of branches and logs on the ground from storms. These should have been cleaned up before opening. On the good side, as always there are lots of hiking and biking trails in the area plus nearby Pallisades for live music and Truckee village for restaurants and breweries.

@ChrissyD7859A7 · Camped on Oct 4, 2024 at Campsite #64

This spot is unlike most of the others. The site is described as a pull through. Your vehicle, Rv, or trailer will be parked parallel to the road. It made it a bit awkward with our trailer as we couldnt put down our camp rug, or enjoy our awning patio due to rocks separating the area from the actual camp site. The site itself is actually quite large and has a length view of the river. Initially I wanted to throw in the towel and say forget it, lets find another place to camp. But Im glad we stayed.One other fair warning if you have a camp trailer, camper, van or RV there will be outhouse restroom facilities just feet from your accommodations. These werent even shown on the map.

@LowreneMCBF54D · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #64

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

Granite Flat is conveniently located a few miles out of Historic Truckee, making it an easy drive or bike ride into town. The campground is situated between Highway 89 and the Truckee River, and several camp sites back up to the river. The campsites are clean and well maintained, with large bear boxes at each site. The pit toilets are also well maintained and odor free. There is significant road noise due to the campground's proximity to the main road, and even in October, traffic on 89 is pretty constant. Trees help to block headlights to some extent. That said, Granite Flats is an extremely relaxing, convenient and economical place to stay in the Lake Tahoe area.

@KeyurHB6136253 · Camped on Sep 14, 2024 at Campsite #29

Clean bathrooms, clearly marked campsite, easy access to the river. Easy access (~2 miles) to multiple stores like grocery, camping gear, gas station, etc.Only downside is a bit of traffic noise which subsides after mid-night.

@GaryK6082379 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #20

The camp was nice, and the site was clean. Being close to the Truckee River is a huge plus.

@BenF7171752 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #21

Nice enough campsite and I was happy to get something in Tahoe on short notice. Do NOT be fooled though. This campground is RIGHT next to a busy state highway where people routinely go 60+ mph. If noise is a problem for you look elsewhere. Period. That said, I hate noise but I did get used to it and actually had a decent time. So there ya go

@TroyR63CE1F084 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #10

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.

@JoanZE943E8A47 · Camped on Aug 21, 2024 at Campsite #59

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.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
