Granite Flat Campground

We camped here for 4 days in June with a big rig. As everyone says, road noise takes some getting used to and is less than ideal. Views of the river are 🤩 and it’s easy to access - a little beach area of sorts we found near site 38. Some sites were very unlevel - our site, #40 being one of them. We managed okay but the asphalt was very lumpy and uneven. Our friends had site #39 and it was very flat and easy for a big rig. Both sites were good spots for Starlink. Every site is spacious, provides large picnic tables and a bear locker for food storage if needed. Water spigots are throughout camp but we ended up having to dump our tanks 4-5 miles away at a Chevron for $7 with the purchase of fuel. As for location, it was 40 minutes to the beautiful Sand Harbor Beach area and 45-50 minutes down to Tallac Historic Point and Inspiration Point areas… for the price of this stay, we didn’t mind that at all!! We’d stay again 😊

Easy in and out of the campsites with all of the pads that we could see paved. Potable water spigots and (clean) vault toilets scattered throughout. Waste receptacles are regularly serviced and near all the vault toilets. The park is very clean but there is some significant highway noise that persists all day and night which eliminates the sounds of the river. The trees are trimmed sufficiently to prevent RV scraping but it’s still a good idea to maintain awareness. Site 59 sloped toward the river by 6” and to the right by 2”. You might need to back your tires onto lift pads to help achieve level. Several of the sites we checked are similar to various degrees. Our 38’ coach fit fine with room to spare and no side scuffing. I’d stay here again just for the river view and wonderful pine smell. No sightings of bears but no reason they wouldn’t come here either….

We loved it! We stayed at site 31 and we could hear the hum of traffic from it but it wasnt bad, just sounded like white noise. I think it would have been really hard to be closer to the highway as there are cars on the road all night. We were right by the river which was lovely. We didn’t realize there wasnt a shower here, which fortunately was not an issue for our one night stay but it would be hard if we were tent camping for a longer period of time.

This can be a great camping spot if you get a good site along the Truckee river as opposed to sites along Hwy 89. Close to town of Truckee and Olympic Valley and right on the river this is a chill spot to enjoy the river and this part of Tahoe.

Beautiful camp ground. My grandson’s first camping trip. Car noise is a factor. Not terrible. The sounds of the river are wonderful❤️🏕️
