About Manzanita.

Manzanita Campground is a small, year-round, tent-only facility with campsites that fill up very quickly.

Oak Creek Canyon is very crowded, especially on weekends; to get a campsite, it is best to reserve a weekday.

This camp site is beautiful with good access to the oak creek and hiking trails that lead to it as well. The site is well maintained and very convenient with clean bathrooms, access to drinking water, and fire wood available to buy on site. The camp site host was also very kind and had a great sense of humor. The only downside to this particular camp site we had on the grounds was it was slightly small for our vehicle and a 6 person tent it was manageable but would be nice to have it slightly bigger it looked like other sites on the ground may have been bigger so we will look into those the next time we visit manzanita which we definitely will.

It is near the load so during days it is little bit noisy but in the night I could fully enjoy nature, quietness, and only the sound of water flowing down.

This campground is amazing. Right along the creek, lots of shade, toilets, and big spaces. Unfortunately we were evacuated due to the fire, but our camp host let us know right away. She was very kind and made sure we all got out safely. We will definitely come back again!!

Had a wonderful time staying at #19. We had a 10 person tent which this site accommodated no problem. The site is elevated to where the creek is. My little guy loved to hike down and play in the creek. You could also hear the creek during the night. The road is elevated right off the campground so you will get traffic noise, which at night is minimal and then gets heavier starting about 6 - 6:30am. We visited slide rock, which is only about 5 mins north of here. There are also 4 vault toilets for all of the campsites. Everyone there was kind and respectful about noise levels. We would stay here again.
