Love Manzanita. Camp there every year and been in this area for 20+ years so we know it well. This is one of the best campsites because excellent creek access and is tent only. Only downside of this location is that it is downstream of Slide Rock.
Typical extended camp for us, but we’ll usually stay around oak creek for 7-10 days at a time with several day trips per year.
The downside this year was that the camp host was unfriendly and had an attitude with us. Thankfully we didn’t have to deal with them much so we don’t let those things spoil our camp. We’d just never experienced a rude and condescending camp host before. I’m unsure if we received an attitude because we know the area and are locals. The district has outsourced camp host (and ticketing agent locations such as West Fork) these past few years. They’re usually okay, but this time was unlucky. They seem to treat you worse if they sense you’re local. Our best experience has been with park rangers as hosts. We miss them, bring the park rangers back please.

Clean, right by the creek and very organized. Only thing that doesn’t make it even better is the camp sites are right on top of each other. Very family friendly and the staff ensured that all campers were aware of quiet hours. Restrooms were clean and stocked.

The campground in nice, but it's located right next to a busy road. Thankfully traffic is very low from 10PM to 5AM.

Camping by the stream is amazing! Hearing the sound of the babbling brook is the greatest appeal of this campground. Keep your stuff packed away. Unfortunately we had to remind kids not to take other campers wood.
