Great spot to get away from the crowd

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.

Very helpful and kind staff, thank you!

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.

Nice and shady with a stream for ambience.

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.

What a beautiful campsite near the creek! Really enjoyed the heavy duty fire pit ring (can get very windy through the canyon) and sturdy concrete picnic table.

The camp hosts, Lydia and Dennis are two of the greatest people in AZ. They were very helpful and a pleasure to be around. They keep the campground very clean, and it's a beautiful campground along Oak Creek.

This campground is beautiful! The sites are small, and they truly fit only one car, but they’re flat and tidy. There are 4 vault toilets for the 18 sites, and they were cleaned and stocked daily. The camp steward was very sweet and helpful. The highlight of our experience was the location - very near the creek and within walking distance to a gorgeous swimming/fishing hole. Heaven on earth, in my opinion!
@AlanS494 · Camped on Feb 21, 2021 at Campsite #17
Beautiful setting, very clean pit toilets. Charcoal grills with lids were about to be installed at each campsite.
@CaseyC446 · Camped on Jan 31, 2021 at Campsite #17
Wonderful views and the campsite was close to some beautiful trails!
@EvanB304 · Camped on Jan 9, 2021 at Campsite #17
Quick access off of the highway. We stayed in the winter (January) so the canyon was extra cold during this time. I imagine it is ideal during the winter. Staff is very friendly. The bathroom is a basic toile over a hole in the ground. No sink available. Staff keeps the grounds maintained. Short distance from town.
