We enjoyed our stay at Manzanita campground. We were fortunate to be able to stay additional days. It's located close to the highway, so access can be a bit challenging, especially for large rig. Ours was a Sprinter, which handled it fine. The campground is clean and well-maintained. Jerome, the caretaker, was welcoming and helpful.

Great small campground right in the heart of all that Sedona has to offer! A short drive from all the main attractions. Perfect spot, really enjoyed my stay there!

The campsite is very neatly maintained. Check in was easy. Firewood available on site. Very Peaceful. Some road noise from the 89 highway but settled down at night and likely won't bother most people. Entrance to campsite of 89 could be better marked. Comes up on you very quickly. A bit of a challenge getting back onto the highway if traffic is busy. Beautifully rustic atmosphere with the sounds of the creek flowing by completing the experience. Very well located between Sedona and Flagstaff. Exellent base for exploring that area. Will definitely us it again i I travel in that area.

Beautiful, clean and convenient campground. Creek and swimming/fishing holes. Every time we go, my only complaints are the proximity to the highway (I dont love hearing traffic while Im putting my kids to sleep) and the small size of most of the campsites. That being said, we love it here and will continue to visit!

Very nice and had plenty of space to set up. I only wish they had more of a hiking trail.

The river was nice. The location is very close to Sedona so that made it convenient to get anything we needed. The driveway is a bit hidden and comes up suddenly so be on the look out.
No Service

This Campground is small! Way smaller than I expected. I originally was going to stay in site 17, but thankfully moved to 15 as 17 is really small. It's a bit crowded, not a lot of privacy. Campground is between a beautiful creek and a busy road. It was clean, hostess was very nice, bathrooms were as clean as they can be for outhouses. Overall, a decent experience. I prefer more privacy when camping, so I probably won't come back.

Its a beautiful place and my second time there. However this time around led me to decide to never come back. First of all the rating for level 2 was instated the day we arrived. So we had no pre warning and came with firewood. Also the official rule for level 2 does not apply to a campground that has all of the standard facilities. So that was frustrating. To make matters worse it rained the whole night. But what really made our experience forgettable was the Karen that harassed us two days in a row about playing live music. When we checked in they told us no amplified music but live music ( guitar, jimbai,tambourine, singing ) is ok. The lady working there had a very unfriendly attitude and clearly showed she didnt like us. Not the right people who should be running a campground

Great location. Loved the sites, 5 up high away from people but closer to the road. 5 closer to the creek. Great bird watching and proximity to town and hiking. Also very nice fire pits and grills.

I loved this campground. It's small, and the campsites are close and without much privacy, but it's a beautiful area. The creek runs right next to it which was great to listen to while sleeping at night. There's a really cool swimming hole just down a short hike, which my two young kids really enjoyed playing in. We then hiked up the creek and had a blast. The camp hosts were very nice and kept the bathrooms very clean and well maintained.

Site 17 was great for us. Plenty of room for our two tents. It didn't have a view of the water but you could hear it, which was nice. We look forward to staying here again in the future. I can see why Manzanita campground gets fully booked quickly.

Wonderful campsite. The creek made the best sounds that were awesome to sleep to and it’s such a great location for Sedona and hiking. Our family loved it and will definitely be back.

This is a nice campsite close to uptown Sedona. This makes the site pretty centrally located, however, it also means that there are frequent cars and trucks driving past on the road directly above the site. The bathroom is only a pit toilet (no sink), but it was very clean throughout our stay with plenty of toilet paper. The biggest negative for us was when we arrived at the campsite, the host did not have any firewood for purchase nor did she help us identify a place that sold it nearby. We camped in November when the temperatures dipped below freezing, so firewood was non-negotiable. We ended up finding some at a gas station but would have appreciated at least a recommendation from the host of where to go.

The lady was really rude and racist. She don't like Hispanics. Never in my life have I ever had this trouble. This lady is just ruthless. Since we got there she was nothing but Hate on us. Then more Hispanics showed up and oh gosh she even called the police. Bring back our old man friend.

Beautiful campsite right along oak creek! The canyon is much cooler than surrounding areas. The campsite was very clean and very well maintained.

Simple tent only campground. In wooded valley area. It was quiet when we were there in mid March but cold at night. Peaceful getaway.
