Lovely small campground on Oak Creek! Just six miles from Slide Rock park and a short 20 minute drive to Sedona.

Camp grounds are way too close to the road and the campsite are very close to each other. Not sure why this site is so popular. It’s clean though

We loved this campsite! It was so fun with our kids to be right by the river and also close easy access to Sedona! I would love if they had a shower here to stay longer but we paid for two nights came early day one to have the entire day and camped one night. It was so fun! Amenities are clean - lady who runs the camp is super nice and helpful.

This Campground is small! Way smaller than I expected. I originally was going to stay in site 17, but thankfully moved to 15 as 17 is really small. It's a bit crowded, not a lot of privacy. Campground is between a beautiful creek and a busy road. It was clean, hostess was very nice, bathrooms were as clean as they can be for outhouses. Overall, a decent experience. I prefer more privacy when camping, so I probably won't come back.

Very disappointing. We were in campsite #7 and the bathroom smell was so strong that we didn't even want to hang out at the campsite. Being close I figured that we'd smell it from time to time, but it was constant and made even s'mores unappetizing. It's probably not always like that, but the whole campground is so small that most people probably had a similar pungent experience.
The spot for the tent had a BOULDER in the MIDDLE of it. It was mostly underground, but it still took up 3 feet of unusable space in the center of the small, slanted area. Unbelievable and unacceptable.
When they say no oversized vehicles, they mean it. My minivan barely inched into the parking spot.
The table was a nice solid cement and the fire pit was good. The trees made the area beautiful and even though we were close to the road the trees and decline of the camp made it more private and quiet than I expected.

Campsite #7 was is not large or flat, but removing the giant rock from the tent spot, flattening out the campsite, and emptying out the toilets way more frequently would have made it much more enjoyable. As is, I'll never camp at Manzanita again, even if that means missing out on amazing Sedona.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Camp host was friendly and welcoming. Site 18 is spacious and has great views. Also backs right up to the creek pathway. Had enough room for 2 tents and extra space. Fire restrictions were lifted so we were able to enjoy a campfire. The creek is a 2 minute walk away with a great little swimming hole super close by. Campground itself was clean and well maintained. Only complaint was loud neighbors but they quieted down just after midnight. We were able to fish, there were great close by trails, and overall a really great family experience.

This campground is a great spot. It is quiet, next to water stream and relaxing. Close enough to the city center to grab supplies when needed and explore.

Had a good time, but the host was a little unaged and grumpy but other than that everything went well.
