The campground is in a great location with one exception, its right next to hwy 89. It sits on the river which is beautiful, but the road noise outweighs the beauty of the river. It was clean and easy to get to. Spots are very close togetherI was in spot 61. When my neighbors arrived, I thought they had taken my table because it was right outside my kitchen window. Paving needs to be redone throughout the campground. Its cheap to camp there, but would be a better experience with some upgrades.

It was nice by the river,camp host was helpful but it was too close to hy 89 so noisy
@ClareK6419619 · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #60
Beautiful site right on the river. Campfire allowed- clean restrooms. Would definitely stay again

Dont book here! I wish I could get my $30 back! Got into town late and the address took me to a parking lot with a warehouse. Not a campsite!

We stayed 3 nights in site 59, which is a great site near the river. The only negative about this campground is the proximity to the roadyoull hear a lot of road noise. Luckily the river drowned out some of it, but its still noticeable and does take away from the experience. Site 59 was perfect for our 35-ft fifthwheel, although we did have to squeeze our truck in. The campground is a great location for exploring the areajust minutes from Truckee, Donner Memorial State Park, Donner Lake, and of course Lake Tahoe. The weather during our visit was perfect, and wed return if we were in the area.

Granite flat is a clean and well maintained campground that borders the Truckee river. Easy access to Truckee, 1 mile and Lake Tahoe 13 miles. Very popular on the weekends. Only possible downside is traffic noise as it sits next to the highway.
@RobertK4087757 · Camped on Sep 22, 2025 at Campsite #43
Nice place.

I love this little campground near Lake Tahoe. It is close to town, you can easily ride your bike or walk into town (Truckee, CA). It is about 12 miles from the lake.There are many sites long enough to accomodate big 5th wheels and our 32' trailer plus truck. The other two campgrounds along that part of 89 are nice too, especially if you are in a tent. You can't beat the price! This trip was in September and it was very quiet with very few campers. We were able to be right on the river. We have been here many times, usually in the summer, but this is the time of year to go. The road noise from Hwy 89 can be quite busy, but it does quiet down in the evening and night. I don't usually notice it as I am busy hanging with my friends and family. Happy Trails!

Very nice cite, the road noise did not affect us much, but cites closer to the road, I could see where it would be an issue. Very well maintained. The road could use better pavement. I would stay here again!
@SarahS3283965 · Camped on Sep 6, 2025 at Campsite #65
Camp host allowed the person who had our campsite reserved for the night following our reservation to set up one night early in spot with all his equipment and toys assuming they probably wont show up. We did in fact show up and were then made to feel like we were imposing asking them to move out of the campsite we had reserved and paid for. Camp host clearly knew what was going on and allowed it. Really unacceptable behavior all around. Campsite itself had no issues, but we waited more than an hour after struggling to even find the host and get situation sorted out to get into our site.
@TanyaAB8452263 · Camped on Aug 30, 2025 at Campsite #11
Another tent was set up on our campsite when we arrived, squeezing us to set up on the gravel. No one was at the other tent until late evening when they arrived, parked on the grass and woke us with blinding headlights. They came and went throughout the night. They left early the next morning. Then so did we! The camp host was never seen!
@DianeM6584416 · Camped on Aug 29, 2025 at Campsite #16
The camp host was very nice. He stopped and spoke with us as we were pulling in. He frequently was out maintaining the campground and toilets.
@JornW29F1BD76F · Camped on Aug 24, 2025 at Campsite #65
I have been coming here for 20 years,Great bike trails
@MattS1245099 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #4
The camp host was very friendly but also kept a respectful distance allowing us privacy and peace at the camp site. Bathrooms were the cleanest vault toilets Ive ever used. Being right next to the river was amazing. The only downside is that you can hear the traffic on the road all day and night. Its not so loud that I couldnt sleep but its something youll be aware of while camping. Overall a great campground with lots of river access points in the campground.
@BarbaraR956587 · Camped on Aug 17, 2025 at Campsite #12
My site was large and clean, bathrooms always stocked and clean. All the campers were friendly and respectful
@ChrisA3029244 · Camped on Aug 17, 2025 at Campsite #5
It is a great location, except for being too close to a noisy busy road. There is a lot of deferred maintenance.
@BarryA3600B238 · Camped on Aug 12, 2025 at Campsite #12
Good place to stay, glad it was only for one night though.lots of road noise!
@BarbaraR956587 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #10
Helpful camp host. Right on the river and close to anything you need. Bathrooms and park is very clean. This is my go to spot when I want to get away and do nothing or hike, raft, hop over to Tahoe or shop and eat in Truckee.
@JuliaB5205767 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #19
Cutting straight to it - this site didnt have a parking spot connected, its right next to the highway & bathroom, and its very small. Theres only space for 1 tent.
@RussellR822636 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #23
Road noise is a lot to deal with. Campground was clean and host was nice. recommend ear plugs if you camp close to road here.
@LarryL46A013EE · Camped on Jul 27, 2025 at Campsite #56
I renamed Granite Flats "The 405". That you are so close and have access to the awesome Truckee River, you have to deal with tremendous noise from the 89 Highway. I cannot imagine sleeping in anything but a well built travel trailer although many were braving it out sleeping in tents just yards from vehicles going 60 mph well into the night. Garbage truck comes through very early as well several commuters who after many days we recognized the honking they choose to bother you with about 6:30 am. It's a great and usually available stop over spot when we are passing through, but will not stay more than an overnight in the future. The camp host was kind and helpful.
@PayalT09D642A2 · Camped on Jul 26, 2025 at Campsite #7
The space overall was clean but the location/ site was extremely noisy. We heard cars passing through the highway all night and could barely sleep.
@RosaB5461E0634 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #60
We have reserved this site for the the past few years because we loved it so much but when we showed up we found that they had cut down two trees and left the remaining logs making half the site unusable. We have enjoyed this site so much and unfortunately they took all the shade and views away.
@SaraP2726429 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #27
Great site 027 on the water
@adama70F3148D9 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #56
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 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.

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.
