I stayed at Granite Flat Campground from 7/22/2020 to 7/26/2020 and had an amazing time. Scott, who runs the campground, was an incredible host. Although the site was full when I got there, he found a place for me for the first night and then worked with me to find a new site the next day after people left. He also checked on me every day to ask how my stay was and if there was anything I needed. I’ve never had such an amazing campground host! He keeps the campsites and bathrooms super clean. I’m definitely coming back to camp there for my next trip. Thanks Scott!
