About
Granite Flat Campground occupies a scenic forest of Jeffrey and lodgepole pine trees along the Truckee River in Tahoe National Forest. Located just 1.5 miles south of Truckee on Highway 89, the campground provides easy access to both the mountain town of Truckee and Lake Tahoe, which is about 15 minutes south. The 70 single-family sites vary from heavily shaded to open, with some offering views of the Truckee River. All sites are a short walk to the river. Seven additional tent-only sites require a short walk-in from the parking area. Fly-fishing for rainbow trout on the Truckee River draws many visitors, along with swimming and tubing in the river during warmer months. The surrounding area offers access to numerous trails including the Western States Trail, Five Lakes Trail, and Pacific Crest Trail. Nearby attractions include Donner Camp Interpretive Trail, Prosser, Boca, and Stampede reservoirs to the north, and Lake Tahoe's boating, kayaking, and scenic driving opportunities to the south. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table, campfire ring, grill, and bear-proof storage locker. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided throughout the campground. Roads within the campground are paved. Highway 89 road noise is audible at some sites. Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., with a 14-day stay limit.
Directions
From Truckee, drive 1.5 miles south on Highway 89 to the campground entrance.
