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.

One of the most gorgeous campsites. Went in November and there were fall leaves everywhere. Site 4 is one of the more private sites, behind it is a small walking trail with access to the creek. Very quiet, bathrooms were clean. I had heard the drinking water is a little funky but I didn’t test it, but it’s easy to just filter the creek water. Not much service for T-Mobile. Will be back!

My only concern was the traffic noise given how it’s smack dab next to highway 89A.
Besides that, I very much agree enjoyed my stay!
The campground and toilets were pristine.
Camp hosts Jerome and Anne (sorry if I get the name wrong) were very friendly, helpful and attentive.
I look forward to re-visit soon. 😌

Stayed in site 10. Had a spectacular time. Went with a couple buddies for the weekend to unwind and it did not disappoint. The bathrooms were very clean and the view beautiful. I will go again.

This campground was absolutely amazing, and I would go back any time. Our public lands are one of the most important assets, identities, and resources that we have in our great nation, both culturally, historically, and naturally. They are one of the most important assets.

Keep fascist ideals out of America, and protect our public lands, including this campground.

The site we reserved had a rock in the tent area and our tent didn't fit. A helpful volunteer moved us to a better site.

Great little campground with well maintained sites just north of Sedona going up SR 89A. Camp hosts were great. Sites run parallel to Oak Creek, and it was awesome hearing the water run all night! Definitely a tent only campground and if you want the best spot, my money is on site 19. It's tucked into the corner of the campground, has unobstructed access to the creek and offers the best dispersion from adjacent sites. Enjoy!
