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.

This campsite with a creek view was easy to access. The campsite attendant was friendly and made check in and buying wood a breeze. The sites are close together and it’s right off the highway but the sounds of the creek drown out the sounds. Clean bathrooms! It’s .8 mi from slide rock making it an ideal location. Still snow in February, very lovely! We would come back year round

Lovely camp site! The camp hosts, Erin and her partner (whose name I did not get), take great care of the campground, and we're both very helpful and kind. Solid, hardworking and kind camp hosts make a great campground! Site #5 is the only site that is slightly up on its own ledge overlooking the campsite, which was very pleasant. I also stayed at site #16 which was next to the creek and nice as well. The campground is a short drive to Sedona and I was able to do full days of hiking and return to the campground without it feeling out of the way. Flagstaff is a longer drive from the campground, but the drive to/from Flagstaff offers gorgeous views of the mountains and red rocks.
