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.

First time here and it was a great vibe from the start. Being a tent only, its so nice to not have generators running at all. Super chill vibe spot and bathrooms were clean too.

One of the campground hosts was just not a pleasant person. The other one that did the cleaning was very kind.The creek was sensational and fantastic to swim in and the camp sites were clean and spacious. The location to town and slide rock and grasshopper were convenient.The downsides: No hiking trails out of the camp. The sites we were in were across from the trash that was overflowing and stunk horribly when the wind blew. The outhouse wasnt as stinky as the garbage.

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

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.

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.

Very disappointing. We were in campsite #7 and the bathroom smell was so strong that we didn't even want to hang out at the campsite. Being close I figured that we'd smell it from time to time, but it was constant and made even s'mores unappetizing. It's probably not always like that, but the whole campground is so small that most people probably had a similar pungent experience. The spot for the tent had a BOULDER in the MIDDLE of it. It was mostly underground, but it still took up 3 feet of unusable space in the center of the small, slanted area. Unbelievable and unacceptable. When they say no oversized vehicles, they mean it. My minivan barely inched into the parking spot.The table was a nice solid cement and the fire pit was good. The trees made the area beautiful and even though we were close to the road the trees and decline of the camp made it more private and quiet than I expected.Campsite #7 was is not large or flat, but removing the giant rock from the tent spot, flattening out the campsite, and emptying out the toilets way more frequently would have made it much more enjoyable. As is, I'll never camp at Manzanita again, even if that means missing out on amazing Sedona.

My site was site number 7 and it was directly in front of the restrooms and the garbage bins. It smelled horrible. Manzanita is a nice campground, and it was great to be near the creek. It was also near the highway, but the car noise did not bother me. Also, there are very few sites, so if you would like to get a site, you probably need to make your reservation very early. Definitely stay away from site number seven though because there was a constant disgusting smell. Manzanita is nice because it is so closely located to the town of Sedona. While we were in Sedona, we went hiking to Chicken Point. The campsite had a nice fire ring and a picnic table.

Wish there were sinks in the restrooms

Es un lugar muy tranquilo, me gust bastante
@JoshuaC4915082 · Camped on Feb 17, 2024 at Campsite #7
Excellent campground. Site 7 is close to the road and bathrooms, so traffic disrupts the sound of the creek on the other side. But, campground has groves of poison oak. New fire ring and charcoal grill. Clean, well stocked pit toilets with hand sanitizer. Camp hosts are friendly. Sufficient firewood sold on site, $8 per bundle.Conveniently located walking distance to trail that goes into canyon across road. Would return for another trip.
@AllegraA5B9F23 · Camped on Dec 23, 2023 at Campsite #7
Nice quiet campground. Camp hosts were great and nicely enforced policies - no trailers, no generators, etc. campsites are close but its still ok. Creek is wonderful. Cant beat the location.
@WadeA578DB9144 · Camped on Sep 21, 2023 at Campsite #7
Nice quiet little campground, very shady and a nice swimming/fishing hole is nearby. Bathrooms were clean. The camp host was great as well!
@IsabellaKB39B4 · Camped on Mar 14, 2023 at Campsite #7
I did not even get to stay here because I got a call that my reservation was cancelled three hours before I was supposed to check in for weather, and they didn't even call me. Recreation.gov did. I called Manzanita to confirm and they said I was still good to check in- they didn't even know Recreation cancelled it. I called again and a different person answered and said it was cancelled. I was told I would get a refund but they did not even give me the full refund back when they were the ones who cancelled on me. Cheap prices, but seems like a mess behind the scenes. I should have been notified by the campground at least a day prior so I could find accommodations. There is spotty service in Sedona and it was difficult to find another place to stay under $200.
@MalvisC8A88EAF · Camped on Dec 24, 2022 at Campsite #7
Perfect location. Its right next to the river and only 20 minutes from Sedona!!
@GURUCHANDA6E29 · Camped on Nov 8, 2022 at Campsite #7
Great hosts and wonderful space
@HeidiF59737EE2 · Camped on Oct 25, 2022 at Campsite #7
There was a seemingly well established camper located in a non designated site in front of my spot. It obstructed my views as well as affected my privacy. I also wondered about possible environmental impacts since the area was non designated for camping and had a water spigot and drain.
@WilliamW688008 · Camped on Oct 10, 2022 at Campsite #7
The campground was great. Only 18 sites total so I was lucky to get a spot for our Sedona trip. Campground does not allow music so you dont have to worry about loud music going all hours of the night, which is nice. The highway is right next to the campground but it just becomes background noise once youre settled in. There is a very nice creek that runs next to the campground as well so be sure to check that out and get some photos.

I was really impressed with the care the hosts put into this place! Ms. Becky, Jennifer, and Frank were all amazing! It's obvious they care about their job and love what they do. Their passion for this gem was as beautiful as the site itself!The restrooms were always clean, Jennifer booked me another night as soon as she learned of a cancelation the next day, and Frank saved me and my dog from a snake (you know, bc nature happens in these kinds of places!) They were so helpful and attentive! And definitely didn't hesitate to address the annoying campers who were too loud or didn't pay attention to their dogs who kept wandering into your camp. (There are so many trees, please respect the space of others and the safety of your own doggo by keeping them leashed, I used a 20 ft lead and my puppy had plenty of room without bothering anyone else.)Did I mention. The restrooms were always clean? The creek was very accessible for me and my doggo to jump in. Beautiful trails within walking distance, many more very close. Not a lot of cell service but my dog and I just jumped in the car and drove and found so many things to get into!! (I was happy to keep my phone on airplane mode for three days!)Notes for future campers: bring your hammocks and citronella candles. The campground provides an insane amount of shade, I wish I had another pair of pants with me. And also be prepared for the temperature to be higher anywhere else you adventure to.Honestly the best trip of my life, can't wait to do it again!! And Jovi and I will definitely be back!! Thank yall so much for the best vacation ever!!(Did I mention the clean restrooms and awesome hosts!!?)

Very nice campground, but the toilet area stinks. The actual toilets were clean and OK inside, but we were in site #7 and there was a horrible stench. Fortunately our friends had a nice site at the end of the park so were relocated there.
@LISAS7216541 · Camped on Apr 26, 2022 at Campsite #7
Really nice to be down in the cool canyon after hiking in the hot sun all day. Campsites are really close together and well maintained. The entrance is not well marked, other than the huge FULL sign. Our biggest complaint was that we were camped close to the outhouse and it really STUNK! Come on, it was only April and those toilets were disgusting. Would really hate to be there when it really gets hot.
@ScottL9124908 · Camped on Apr 21, 2022 at Campsite #7
Nice campground. Clean restroom. Cant sites next to the road are tight. Nice swimming hole.
@SuzanE7B24D124 · Camped on Apr 11, 2022 at Campsite #7
The camp is well cared for, clean and maintained. Beautiful location by the creek.
@RobertR9363682 · Camped on Mar 12, 2022 at Campsite #7
Probably one of the worst experiences in the last 5 years. The host was extremely hostile, very unhelpful, and definitely not the right role for the host. He got into a yelling match with another guest and was extremely rude to them. I dont think Ill be choosing to go back to these campgrounds in the future. I've gone here twice a year for the last 8 years and definitely wont go back anymore.

Super nice and friendly camphost that looked out for all the people staying there
