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.

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.

Not many people, probably from the time of year but the spot was great. Only about 15 min away from the town of Sedona, had its own trails, little river, etc. the rangers were nice and helpful.

I didn't realized it's a very tent oriented campsites. They indicated this in their website, but i was planning all along to sleep in my Van. My vehicle and my campsite #10 is quite far from each other, unlike most campsites where you usually park your car at your campsite. This means carrying all your gears all the way to the campsite. (Approx 30 yds). Other than that, and not all campsites have the same issues, this place is beautiful. We camped in Nov, so it was a but cold.

Staff very friendly and right there on the spot if I needed anything.

I have been going to this campsite for many years . Usually the hosts are great . Always there for assistance, bathrooms stocked and clean. At their site to sell fire wood or just talk this time the camp host didn’t come by to see how things were they were hard to find , bathrooms were filthy and low on tp. No one welcomed us or even checked us in until 3rd day. This seams to be an issue at other camp sites as well as some friends of mine had same experience at sitgraves national forest . Not sure what’s going on but this year was lowest quality experience with hosts…. Otherwise great trip as I love camping.

What a beautiful campsite! We loved being able to hear the running water from the creek nearby. I didn't use the bathroom facilities but all the other common spaces were very tidy. I would not hesitate to camp here again.

Don't count on privacy, the sites are packed in there pretty well, and tents or small vans is the way to go here. Great swimming hole on the creek.
@OscarB495 · Camped on Dec 12, 2021 at Campsite #10
Beautiful natural scenery and a polite host. The campground is easy to find and close to town and hikes.
@SonjaL762 · Camped on Dec 10, 2021 at Campsite #10
The place is beautiful, and Jean is very accommodating.
@DavidF496 · Camped on Sep 23, 2021 at Campsite #10
Absolutely gorgeous campsite right next to Oak Creek with a little pool a short walk down the river! a short drive to beautiful Sedona, this campsite is a must-go.
@RodneyD358 · Camped on Sep 13, 2021 at Campsite #10
Manzanita Campground is a beautiful place surrounded by very tall trees & a lovely creek running alongside most of the tent spaces. It is very clean & the campground host is a very special lady. Her name is Lydia & she makes you feel so special from the time you arrive till you depart. The campground is only 6 miles from Sedona, Arizona which is also very beautiful.
@MelissaC759 · Camped on Sep 9, 2021 at Campsite #10
Great park, easy to access and pretty nice sites. The only downside is the road noise but the river is so nice that you can drown out the road noise. Would definitely stay again!
@BrittneyS861 · Camped on Aug 27, 2021 at Campsite #10
Camp host was great, right along the creek, beautiful swimming hole, campsites kinda close to hiking trails so lot of foot traffic from others not staying at the campground
@AsamiT122 · Camped on Aug 14, 2021 at Campsite #10
We love there. We've already been back for more.
@JoseR416 · Camped on Jul 11, 2021 at Campsite #10
Excellent location for river access. Intimate setting.
@BernardoC423 · Camped on Jun 20, 2021 at Campsite #10
I gave it a poor overall rating because of the emergency evacuation orders we had to go through. We were unable to enjoy but one night of a 7 day camping trip. Not much fun was had and were very disappointed. The other point is that I am having problems getting a refund for the 6 nights that I paid for which this has contributed to the unsatisfactory rating.
@ClaudiaM123 · Camped on May 31, 2021 at Campsite #10
Overall it was a great trip. Been to this campground many times. I do have a couple issues this time around. There aren’t supposed to campers/trailers allowed and rules clearly state a tent must be onsite yet there was a Winnebago and had the generator running so the noise was very annoying. Our group had 3 sites reserved and this caused us to have 2 extra cars. We had to park them up top which we expected and had no issue with until the hosts allowed another camper and car to park in the bathroom area which isn’t even a campsite.
Aside from this we love this place and it is our favorite place to camp so it’s unfortunate we had to deal with the noise and car issue. I would still recommend this place to others and we will be back for sure. Hopefully next time the hosts follow the rules as we are expected to.

Loved this campground! Everyone was really respectful of each other, both the camp hosts (husband and wife) were SO nice and helpful, it was so clean and the toilet was a 10 out of 10. You get kind of excited when camping and you can put your clothes on the floor of the bathroom and not feel like it's going to get dirty! They also sell firewood if you need it, and the camp hosts were always around and available for questions. The creek is incredible. Not a bad spot at this campground and even though it's somewhat near the road it doesn't bother you at all (surprisingly).
@RachelR366 · Camped on Apr 25, 2021 at Campsite #10
Beautiful camping spot by creek. A little bit close to the highway, but for us it’s worth the convenience to be near town.
@AnnalyseS949 · Camped on Apr 15, 2021 at Campsite #10
This is a 5 out of 5 campground and I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone. Lydia and Dennis, the campground hosts, go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and safe. They make friends with everyone in the campground and every time I saw them, they were chatting with someone and laughing with a new customer. They are the kindest, sweetest people and I would go back to Manzanita just to spend time with Lydia and Dennis. They are truly angels.

The campground itself is a hidden gem in Oak Creek Canyon, just minutes from downtown Sedona. It's right on Oak Creek and people literally hike DOWN to the campground to spend the day there along the creek because it's such a beautiful, magical spot along the river! The river literally flows through the campground and at night you can hear the river and dunk during the day. Manzanita is a magical place and I will be back!! A HUGE thank you to Lydia and Dennis.
@TrinityC775 · Camped on Mar 10, 2021 at Campsite #10
Great campsite right by the creek! Loved our stay there even with snow!
@AynK713 · Camped on Mar 8, 2021 at Campsite #10
It was a beautiful spot and the host was great! It’s very close to the highway so traffic noise at night was a bit loud. Other than that, a great site.

Clean bathrooms due to the awesome park staff, beautiful scenery, affordable stay.
