Granite Flat Campground

Perched between the lush banks of the Truckee River and the steady hum of Highway 89, Granite Flat Campground offers a unique blend of riverside serenity and easy accessibility, making it a compelling choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking both recreation and convenience. Situated just one mile south of Truckee and within a short drive of Lake Tahoe's northern shores, this campground stands out for its prime location, excellent fishing opportunities, and proximity to world-class hiking and biking trails.

The campground features a total of 74 sites, accommodating both tents and RVs, with select walk-in tent-only spots offering extra privacy. Amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, bear-proof food storage lockers, and vault toilets, with drinking water available on-site. While the highway-adjacent setting means some sites are close to the road, the spots near the Truckee River are particularly appealing for their tranquil ambiance and easy access to fishing for rainbow and brown trout. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundance of wildlife viewing opportunities, while more adventurous visitors can enjoy kayaking, rafting, or mountain biking on nearby trails.

Granite Flat’s central location places it within easy reach of several attractions. The town of Truckee, a mere three miles away, offers charming shops, historical sites, and local dining, while Lake Tahoe, just a 15-minute drive south, provides endless options for water sports, hiking, and scenic drives. Additional outdoor destinations, such as the Boca and Stampede Reservoirs and the Donner Memorial State Park, are each within a short drive, making this campground an ideal base for day trips or extended stays in the Tahoe National Forest.
