Love Manzanita. Camp there every year and been in this area for 20+ years so we know it well. This is one of the best campsites because excellent creek access and is tent only. Only downside of this location is that it is downstream of Slide Rock. Typical extended camp for us, but well usually stay around oak creek for 7-10 days at a time with several day trips per year.The downside this year was that the camp host was unfriendly and had an attitude with us. Thankfully we didnt have to deal with them much so we dont let those things spoil our camp. Wed just never experienced a rude and condescending camp host before. Im unsure if we received an attitude because we know the area and are locals. The district has outsourced camp host (and ticketing agent locations such as West Fork) these past few years. Theyre usually okay, but this time was unlucky. They seem to treat you worse if they sense youre local. Our best experience has been with park rangers as hosts. We miss them, bring the park rangers back please.

It's just wonderful, close to bathrooms ,water, and hiking.

@ToddL4603084 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #14

Clean, right by the creek and very organized. Only thing that doesnt make it even better is the camp sites are right on top of each other. Very family friendly and the staff ensured that all campers were aware of quiet hours. Restrooms were clean and stocked.

@DerekP5D19387F · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #7

The campground in nice, but it's located right next to a busy road. Thankfully traffic is very low from 10PM to 5AM.

Great spot to get away from the crowd

@JeneMEC1629FFD · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #18

Camping by the stream is amazing! Hearing the sound of the babbling brook is the greatest appeal of this campground. Keep your stuff packed away. Unfortunately we had to remind kids not to take other campers wood.

@DanielW1CBAB3F · Camped on Apr 22, 2025 at Campsite #18

This campground was delightful! We enjoyed the songbirds, the creek, and the Sterling Pass hike across the street is spectacular. This campground was the perfect way to start our Arizona Vacation.

@LouisM63AFA904 · Camped on Apr 21, 2025 at Campsite #9

Initially, we had reserved Site # 9 for our 3 night stay. It turned out to be right next to the highway, so our first night was not restful. The next day we asked the Camp Host if we could move to a site that had opened up, away from the road and next to the creek. She was able to make this happen, and the next 2 nights were much quieter! The campground was lovely. There is a short walk along the creek to a watering hole that was so peaceful, home to a beautiful Great Blue Heron that flew back and forth from the treetops to a rock in the creek! We look forward to coming back to the Manzanita Campground in the near future.

@BrianD6953183 · Camped on Apr 16, 2025 at Campsite #16

Clean campground and bathrooms. Wonderful host.

@DanenDF07E933D · Camped on Apr 8, 2025 at Campsite #15

Good location , excellent hiking nearby. Close to roadway, so a little noisy. Fresh running stream. I guess tents only also means small camper vans as half the lot was filled with them. Nice large sites clean and well kept.

@JamesM9879118 · Camped on Apr 7, 2025 at Campsite #9

Beautiful setting. Camp host was wonderful. Facilities very clean. Cant wait to visit again soon. Site 11 is excellent.

@MarioRD4CD07E9 · Camped on Mar 14, 2025 at Campsite #7

The campground were nice and bathrooms were clean. Plenty of space in-between campsites but only one parking spot available which isn't the best but there's not much room. The road to get to the campsite was closed due to snow so the first night we couldn't even stay there and it was march.

@EileenD59B270F · Camped on Mar 2, 2025 at Campsite #10

There is a person who stays at the base in a camper and actively checks people in! Nice for security purposes. Bathroom was clean and theres hand sanitizer, no sinks. The river close by is very beautiful! This specific spot (#10): you can pull in and then there is maybe a 15 foot walk to the circle campground spot. Had bench, grill, and fire pit. Well maintained.

@SauloR568EA0EB · Camped on Feb 28, 2025 at Campsite #5

The place was amazing. Ultra clean. The restrooms were super clean as well. Everything was peaceful and the nature is beautiful. We will definitely be here again and invite friends.

@SteveK1630665 · Camped on Feb 21, 2025 at Campsite #5

Great camp area. A little noisy if you are on the road side of the loop; the river side might be more nature quiet with the stream.

@QuentinPE63F63 · Camped on Feb 17, 2025 at Campsite #13

Nice location near Oak Creek. Smaller sites and limited parking with quiet, peaceful campsite within drive to popular sites.

@PhilL86ED49919 · Camped on Feb 14, 2025 at Campsite #7

We absolutely love this campground. Its far enough out of the hustle of town, but close enough to get right back into hiking the next day. The creek flowing through adds to the ambiance of the tree coverage, and red rock background.

@HarryT2A20BD96 · Camped on Feb 9, 2025 at Campsite #14

Camp host was very friendly and allowed us to switch campsite. Nice and woodsy. There is traffic noise during the day as is close to the hwy, but at night was quiet. Bathrooms were really clean.

@NanL15C03F6885 · Camped on Jan 31, 2025 at Campsite #19

Stayed at site 19. Love this place, good size and youll get a fire pit and a bbq grill. Closed to Sedona.

@JenniferB63832 · Camped on Jan 24, 2025 at Campsite #15

Great small campground. Quiet and peaceful . The camp hosts were friendly and helpful too!

@CindyG2775357 · Camped on Jan 10, 2025 at Campsite #19

All campsites a little close together, but overall beautiful place. Great hike trailhead right across the road. Nice creek sounds to sleep to. Super clean toilets. Camp hosts friendly and with firewood to vend. Also very close to Slide Rock State Park and downtown Sedona. Great picnic tables!

@BrianD6953183 · Camped on Jan 6, 2025 at Campsite #12

Excellent location between Flagstaff and Sedona. Beautiful views along the river. Small campsites with not much privacy. Drinking water and pit toilets on site. Close to the road, but quiet at night.

@MelissaY35DD82 · Camped on Jan 3, 2025 at Campsite #12

The staff at the campsite was helpful and nice.

@CorinaD6AFC0D8 · Camped on Dec 26, 2024 at Campsite #18

Easy to find! Level ground for tent camping and short walks to the bathroom! River front area and lively river sound to lull you to sleep!

@NikoleF5CABDF0 · Camped on Dec 25, 2024 at Campsite #10

Manzanita had clean bathrooms, respectful neighbors, and a great camp host. Idid make a mistake, though. While the campground is tent-only, I did not realize that site 10 was more like a walk-in site. We have a rooftop tent, and we had to walk past site 9 every time we went from our site to our car and tent.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
