Great location just outside of Sedona. Only negative was that roadwork was being done and due to one way traffic u can be trapped from getting out from time to time.

This is a gem of a campground right by Oak Creek with multiple places to swim or sit by the Creek - the main swimming hole does get busy, but mostly it's peaceful and there are a lot of places up the creek to sit. The campground is very well maintained, with pit toilets which are incredibly clean and showers up the road to use at a neighbouring campsite if needed for a small fee. The evenings are quiet and this place is such a treat near Sedona - it's also up the road from Slide Rock Provincial Park but the creek at the campground is just as fun and lovely and way less people!

Great, clean campground. Friendly camp host who you can get affordable firewood from. Most sites have a direct view of the creek, which is beautiful. Manzanita is also very conveniently located for most of the great hiking in the area
