About Manzanita.

Manzanita Campground is a small, year-round, tent-only facility with campsites that fill up very quickly. Visitors enjoy the campground for its fishing and swimming holes along Oak Creek, beautiful scenery and excellent wildlife watching. Oak Creek Canyon is very crowded, especially on weekends; to get a campsite, it is best to reserve a weekday.

Beautiful, clean and convenient campground. Creek and swimming/fishing holes. Every time we go, my only complaints are the proximity to the highway (I dont love hearing traffic while Im putting my kids to sleep) and the small size of most of the campsites. That being said, we love it here and will continue to visit!

Beautiful scenic campground in the canyon north of Sedona. Tents only, so prepare accordingly. Great swimming spots nearby for those hot Arizona summers. Campground host was friendly and maintained a tidy camp. Pretty small so reservations are essential. No bathrooms, showers or sinks, just pit toilets. Calm and quiet. Very relaxing under the beautiful canopy of trees.

Great camping site, even with the heavy rain it all looked great. Avoid spot 13 thru 17 if you have sensitive nose as bathroom smells can be overwhelming some times.

Very nice and had plenty of space to set up. I only wish they had more of a hiking trail.
