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.

Nice stay at Manzanita campground in Oak Creek canyon. About 15 minutes drive from site to the center of Sedona (many hikes are available between campground and Sedona). Sterling pass hike is right next to the campground. Our site 11 was next to the creek which was quite nice. Fire pit is excellent and sites have a charocl grill as well. Good space at each site and sites were kept clean. Bathrooms are toilet only. Fresh water available. Campground located next to the road that runs thru canyon so some traffic noice but this largely ceases at night.

We enjoyed the camp; however, we wished that it has multiple baths rooms in different places and longer or wider parking space for a vehicle.

Beautiful fall days in a lovely, friendly setting. The camp host was away while we were there, but substitute camp hosts kept us well stocked with firewood and had everything nice and tidy. Cory does an amazing job with upkeep of the actual campsites, raking around the tables and fire pits after people check out.

We did have a fluffy skunk visit our campsite a couple times while we were there. Thankfully, neighboring dogs did not spook the skunk, and we left with a cute story to tell. Would return again. Since we had quite chilly mornings (even one with snow), we enjoyed our early mornings with lovely breakfasts at Indian Gardens Cafe just a couple minutes up the road.
