We loved our camping spot. We had a quiet camping spot among the trees and next to the river. Our two toddlers were able to play well there. Friendly camping host. No showers but there were toilets and we could take drinking water.

Very good camp ground, easy to find. As it's close to the river, it's actually quite cold and shaded, so this can be both a pro and a con, depending on your season.

Manzanita campground is a small, well-maintained campground. The surrounding area is absolutely stunning with many access points to Oak Creek, which is well stocked with fish. The primary negative is the small campsites and very limited parking space and the campsite borders on some sites were not obvious. Camp hosts were always available and resolved issues in a timely manner.

I know this was a tent campground, but I expected the parking spot to be part of the tent site. We had a camper van and were basically given a parking spot that was so small we couldn’t even open the back doors. We ended up leaving and going to a nearby dispersed campsite because we couldn’t stay at Manzanita. Some of the sites were good - just not 12-15.

Cody and Anna (the hosts) were super friendly, took care of wood delivery, and kept the bathrooms immaculate! The campsite is small and the sites are on top of each other, but that's what you get for creekside campsite. The fishing was excellent. It was stocked on Thursday. The road is close, but traffic dies down around 10. I didn't enjoy the guy who set up his tent literally 2 feet from mine then snored all night. (They did have 3 giant tents, and 2 cars for 3 guys and 5 boys for a little tiny site.) I like this campground for its lovely creek access but the FS is trying to squeeze out as much money as they can by putting the sites so close together.
