This would be a great campground if it were not directly off the road. Traffic did reduce to a minimum after 10pm but picked up again early in the morning. Trailhead is across and up the road a bit. The facilities were clean and well maintained.

It was the perfect spot right out of Sedona. Close to all hikes. Cathedral rock is a must at sunset.

Camp site 5 is the best site,IMO its more private and you can actually see whats going on around you and it is close to the water points and bathrooms ,the higher site is not that bad ..

Nice campsite, beautiful location. I would definitely stay there again. I can see why it is so popular.

Ive been going to Manzanita for many years now and it was always a good experience until this last time. We got there and we couldnt find the host, also the trash cans were full and trash was all over the ground, that caused a really bad smell in most of the area. I hope they fix this issue in the future.

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.

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.

The site is beautiful, well kept and the camp host was an absolute delight. This has been my favorite site for many years. You hear the creek all night….. so very relaxing.

Lovely camp site! The camp hosts, Erin and her partner (whose name I did not get), take great care of the campground, and we're both very helpful and kind. Solid, hardworking and kind camp hosts make a great campground! Site #5 is the only site that is slightly up on its own ledge overlooking the campsite, which was very pleasant. I also stayed at site #16 which was next to the creek and nice as well. The campground is a short drive to Sedona and I was able to do full days of hiking and return to the campground without it feeling out of the way. Flagstaff is a longer drive from the campground, but the drive to/from Flagstaff offers gorgeous views of the mountains and red rocks.

Our experience was fenomenal, the hosts were very attentive and helpful. They have fire wood on site for purchase. Really close to Sedonas downtown. The restrooms clean and equipped. Overall 10/10. Def heading back!

It is a cute campground, because it is in the canyon, it is next to the highway. Otherwise it is beautiful and kept up very well.
@MariaM4161283 · Camped on Oct 12, 2022 at Campsite #5
Perfect little campground, host are friendly and restrooms are kept clean. Its next to oak creek you can go swimming or fishing.

I enjoyed the relaxing sound of the flowing little river next to the campsite. It quite reduce the highway noise. Really nice stay
@TakeshiN259059 · Camped on Mar 13, 2022 at Campsite #5
Good location. Quiet camper (no generator). Traffic noise is not issue for me.One issue drinking water. Water color changed clear to yellowish over night (12hours) and later(24 hours or more).

#5 site is located a little bit high ground from the parking space so you need to move your stuff up.

Convenient campsite for the Sedona area. Very crowded but most everyone was respectful of quite time after 10pm. Did have one character chopping wood at 11:00 that night. Glad I brought my earplugs.
@BrendaP8892898 · Camped on Nov 26, 2021 at Campsite #5
My go to place for me and my husband relax full peaceful to get away
@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Nov 7, 2021 at Campsite #5
Some road noise throughout the night but could also hear the Oak creek in the background. The camp host keep the place nice and clean. Water has a metallic task because of a large iron content. Bring your own fresh water if you prefer tasteless water. Had a big tent on spot 5. No cell signal with AT&T.
