Granite Flat

Granite Flat is a Forest Service campground in the Truckee Ranger District of Tahoe National Forest in California, about 0.3 miles from the town of Truckee. It offers 70 single-family sites, some of which are accessible, and seven sites set aside for tent-camping only. All sites sit a short walk from the Truckee River, with several overlooking it and others next to Highway 89. Each site has a picnic table, campfire ring, grill and bear box, and firewood is available at the host site. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided, and roads within the campground are paved. Highway 89 road noise can be heard. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 82°F with lows near 44°F and only about two wet days, while winter highs stay in the low 40s. Most single-family sites and group campgrounds can be reserved at recreation.gov or (877) 444-6777. No camping or campfires are allowed outside of developed campgrounds. Nearby, the Crosscut Trail and Timber Cruise Trail are both within a mile. Climbers can head to Coldstream Canyon, about 1.6 miles away, and Goose Meadow campground is about 3 miles off.
