I did not even get to stay here because I got a call that my reservation was cancelled three hours before I was supposed to check in for weather, and they didn't even call me. Recreation.gov did. I called Manzanita to confirm and they said I was still good to check in- they didn't even know Recreation cancelled it. I called again and a different person answered and said it was cancelled. I was told I would get a refund but they did not even give me the full refund back when they were the ones who cancelled on me. Cheap prices, but seems like a mess behind the scenes. I should have been notified by the campground at least a day prior so I could find accommodations. There is spotty service in Sedona and it was difficult to find another place to stay under $200.

They cancelled my reservation a day before it would begin due to flood threat, I have never gotten the money back even though it was promised.

The weather is just nature…which severely impacted our trip and couldn’t access campground half of our trip. Obviously not the grounds issue, but had to leave our gear behind, find a hotel 😭 Camp host was gone the first (nice weather) day we checked in with a full campground. Campers were all trying to find out how to reach someone about weather warnings. Tried to contact and reached out to ranger station but obviously lots of bad flooding and weather that week.
I do love this place and have camped here several times. Will definitely be back and is one of my favorites anywhere I’ve been on travels.
