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.

Number of accommodations: 14

Nice campsite, table and fire pit are on even ground. The site is right next to the camp hosts. You might have difficulty parking a larger SUV or truck because of the tight parking shared with Site 10. I don’t recommend this site if you have a trailer. The site is not on the river, but still close enough. The hosts were very nice and the vault toilets were clean.

Everything actually there was great. Cozy, chill environment. Well-kept sites. Helpful host. Beautiful scenery with walking access to Oak Creek. Pit toilet bathrooms very clean, given what they are. Convenient walking path to Sterling Pass trailhead. Only knocks are acceptable (more so knowing what you're getting into): some road noise, tight entrance/exit via main road, lack of showers. Would recommend/return someday.

Great location. Loved the sites, 5 up high away from people but closer to the road. 5 closer to the creek. Great bird watching and proximity to town and hiking. Also very nice fire pits and grills.
