Beautiful campsite, exactly what i needed, easy check-in, nice river and hiking nearby, tree covered, right off the highway. I parked my Eurovan, and it was all i could ask for.

My girlfriend and I have been here twice now. Brought both of our dogs the first time and we all had a blast. This time we met friends there and the experience was the same...great! The camp hosts are really friendly and helpful as well and we always appreciate that. If you're thinking about going, do it!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Manzanita campsite. Our site was spacious and we had a great view of the creek. The bathrooms were nice for being pit toilets. The camp host was very helpful and friendly. We will stay here again next time we visit.

Great Small Campground. Loved my time there. It's definitely on my short list. The entrance is small and pops up on you real quick. Keep a sharp eye out for the entrance and be prepared to break quick. It is at the bottom of a canyon so it does get cold in the mornings. Bring a Buddy Heater. Also, as said, it is small and that includes the parking spots and there are lots of boulders to watch out for. Don't be afraid to get out often and make sure you are lined up properly. They do have firewood for sale. I think it was $7 a bundle when I was there. There is a ruin to the north. I never did get the story on that. I think it might have been an old school house. Also for those wanting to checkout the Sterling Pass Trail, you can reach the tail head by taking a path by the ruins. You don't need to walk along the road. I think that is all my advise. Enjoy!

Beautiful setting, very clean pit toilets. Charcoal grills with lids were about to be installed at each campsite.
