Initially, we had reserved Site # 9 for our 3 night stay. It turned out to be right next to the highway, so our first night was not restful. The next day we asked the Camp Host if we could move to a site that had opened up, away from the road and next to the creek. She was able to make this happen, and the next 2 nights were much quieter! The campground was lovely. There is a short walk along the creek to a watering hole that was so peaceful, home to a beautiful Great Blue Heron that flew back and forth from the treetops to a rock in the creek! We look forward to coming back to the Manzanita Campground in the near future.

Good location , excellent hiking nearby. Close to roadway, so a little noisy. Fresh running stream. I guess tents only also means small camper vans as half the lot was filled with them. Nice large sites clean and well kept.
