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.

On day 1 we hiked Soldier Pass to the 7 Sacred Pools via the Brin Mesa trail (found it on All Trails), which had lots of parking when the Soldier Pass parking was full. On day 2 we did the loop around Courthouse Butte (Bell Rock, Rector and Big Park Loop on All Trails). Both hikes were amazing.

Staff at the campground were super nice.

Has well water and pit toilets. Seems like there is some hiking that can be accessed from the campground although I didn't attempt. It's a good base camp for Sedona & Flagstaff.

This is a lovely campground and we had a wonderful time, will certainly be trying to book again. One issue, a one off which is why I’m still giving 5 stars, the hosts quit or were being replaced the day we arrived and we couldn’t get any firewood.
