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.

There was a seemingly well established camper located in a non designated site in front of my spot. It obstructed my views as well as affected my privacy. I also wondered about possible environmental impacts since the area was non designated for camping and had a water spigot and drain.

This campground is in a nice spot if you want to be in oak creek canyon, and the site host is very sweet, however each site is tiny and you literally have not one bit of privacy whatsoever. The spot was so small that the person next to us had their tent set up two feet away from our fire pit. We ended up not staying there once we checked in and saw how tiny the spot was and realized we wouldn’t have been able to even have a fire. I can’t even believe they have the audacity to charge $30 for that! Don’t waste your money here unless you enjoy camping on top of one another

Nothing beats sleeping to the sound of a creek. Well, maybe drinking your morning coffee alongside the creek as the sun starts to hit the rocks above the forest canopy. It is a beautiful location and not far from uptown Sedona.

Awesome campground with great hosts! This is the cleanest campground I’ve ever stayed in! Each site is thoroughly cleaned between campers, even the tables are scrubbed. Bathrooms are cleaned several times daily. Becky, Frank and Jennifer are friendly and welcoming, and keep the campground quiet and safe. Beautiful and shaded. Highly recommend!
