This campground is beautiful, set in the redwoods, with a creek and nature trails. It has all the amenities: flush toilets, showers, fire pits, running water, and grills. The only drawback is the sites are small and close together, affording very little privacy. The campground can be pretty loud at night too. If you're looking for peace, quiet, and seclusion, this might not be the campground for you. We really enjoyed it though because we have a three year old, and with all the other noise in the campground, I didn't have to feel bad when she was being loud. Also, watch out for the raccoons! They stole my bread that I stupidly left out, and then tried to get into our ice chest. There are lockers provided at each campsite. Use them!

The bumpy six mile drive up a dirt road to reach this campground is well worth it. The campground has garbage cans and pit toilets. There were water spouts around the campground, but they were all turned off. Each site has a table and a fire pit. Hike up to the fire lookout for great views. The Pacific Crest Trail is another three mile drive up past the campground, but you'll be rewarded with more great views along the way. We had a blast exploring the area, including the nearby town of Idyllwild and Lake Filmor.

Granite Creek Campground is primitive. There are pit toilets, but they are located only on the upper loop, so the sites in the lower loop are quite far away, so be prepared to dig a hole. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table, but that's it for amenities. There are a few small bear lockers scattered around the campground, but again, they're far apart and aren't very convenient. All that being said, I love Granite Creek CG. It's generally quiet, the sites are fairly far apart and private. It's a great "get away from it all" campground.
