The campsite had three big bins of refuse that appears to have been there for quite some time. Additionally, the vegetation made it difficult for a 9foot high sprinter to navigate. We also noted that the sites were shallow for parking and the amount of space for turning around was quite limited and accessing the highway was not done easily from a safety point of view.

No shower, it was very bad

@WilroseF360D94 · Camped on Nov 3, 2024 at Campsite #6

We enjoyed the camp; however, we wished that it has multiple baths rooms in different places and longer or wider parking space for a vehicle.

Nice stay at Manzanita campground in Oak Creek canyon. About 15 minutes drive from site to the center of Sedona (many hikes are available between campground and Sedona). Sterling pass hike is right next to the campground. Our site 11 was next to the creek which was quite nice. Fire pit is excellent and sites have a charocl grill as well. Good space at each site and sites were kept clean. Bathrooms are toilet only. Fresh water available. Campground located next to the road that runs thru canyon so some traffic noice but this largely ceases at night.

great camp hosts. loved the location. clean. basic. pit toilets not running water. would stay again and planning on it already. creek is right there and sedonas village is right down the road.

@TannerN4483965 · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #15

Camp host was amazing. Clean bathrooms and Sedona was a blast.

@ErikJ285432213 · Camped on Sep 23, 2024 at Campsite #18

The camp host was friendly and inviting. The location next the stream and near Sedona was great. The sites are a little close together and near the road (traffic noise and light pollution was moderate.) Vault toilets were clean and better than expected. Overall a good experience.

Lovely small campground on Oak Creek! Just six miles from Slide Rock park and a short 20 minute drive to Sedona.

@JeinaG560C362E · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #16

We loved this campsite! It was so fun with our kids to be right by the river and also close easy access to Sedona! I would love if they had a shower here to stay longer but we paid for two nights came early day one to have the entire day and camped one night. It was so fun! Amenities are clean - lady who runs the camp is super nice and helpful.

@RobertD9538610 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #9

Camp grounds are way too close to the road and the campsite are very close to each other. Not sure why this site is so popular. Its clean though

@SylviaM8D157E8 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #14

I love this place! Plenty of shade, small campground, no mega-rvs allowed, quiet and lovely

@CarolynB215464 · Camped on Aug 29, 2024 at Campsite #17

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.

@NicholasS29081 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #4

My 3rd time here and have reservations in the next coming weeks. Very nice campground.

@EvelynnMB4E9E1 · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #7

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.

@Elizabeth20437 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #18

Really enjoyed our stay here. Camp host was friendly and welcoming. Site 18 is spacious and has great views. Also backs right up to the creek pathway. Had enough room for 2 tents and extra space. Fire restrictions were lifted so we were able to enjoy a campfire. The creek is a 2 minute walk away with a great little swimming hole super close by. Campground itself was clean and well maintained. Only complaint was loud neighbors but they quieted down just after midnight. We were able to fish, there were great close by trails, and overall a really great family experience.

@LizethF3D9DA56 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #6

Manzanita is great camp site near the river youll have the advantage of walking distance with great spots to relax and have some fun. I wont recommend space 6 or 7 since they are very close to the restrooms.Its very Close to slide rock ( 5 min drive) and to town ( 15 min drive ) Staff was helpful and friendly, we would have like to be able to listen to some music ( not an amplified) but just as a background but is not allowed.

@DevinB03857094 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #17

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

@CatherineF9963 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #7

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.

@RhondaR14BB8B2 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #15

The camp host did not clean the restrooms daily. They were not kept up the way they used to be.

@LindaM3264387 · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #12

Camp Hosts, Korey, his wife Anna and Kim, another camp host made my first experience camping in Manzanita a pleasure My rental car needed a jump start, Korey came to the rescue even when he was "off duty" ! I stayed in #12 . Oak Creek was right next to my campsite. Bathrooms were always clean Follow the "Creek trail" to a pool area. Bring your floaties! It's refreshing, the pool. 6/16-20/24 was my stay. I'm going to return ASAP!!!

@GabrielR23C836 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #19

Had a good time, but the host was a little unaged and grumpy but other than that everything went well.

@LeventB5F7C009 · Camped on May 30, 2024 at Campsite #14

This campground is a great spot. It is quiet, next to water stream and relaxing. Close enough to the city center to grab supplies when needed and explore.

@DeborahR772108 · Camped on May 16, 2024 at Campsite #9

Manzanita campground is a small, well-maintained campground. The surrounding area is absolutely stunning with many access points to Oak Creek, which is well stocked with fish. The primary negative is the small campsites and very limited parking space and the campsite borders on some sites were not obvious. Camp hosts were always available and resolved issues in a timely manner.

@ELSVCCF1F0290A · Camped on May 6, 2024 at Campsite #12

We loved our camping spot. We had a quiet camping spot among the trees and next to the river. Our two toddlers were able to play well there. Friendly camping host. No showers but there were toilets and we could take drinking water.

@Elizabeth96325 · Camped on May 5, 2024 at Campsite #15

I know this was a tent campground, but I expected the parking spot to be part of the tent site. We had a camper van and were basically given a parking spot that was so small we couldnt even open the back doors. We ended up leaving and going to a nearby dispersed campsite because we couldnt stay at Manzanita. Some of the sites were good - just not 12-15.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
