Description

At this creekside campground you'll have a fishing hole for your back yard, and that's not all. Add spectacular scenery, clear water swimming holes, picturesque hiking trails and excellent wildlife watching (in other words the standard amenities of Oak Creek Canyon) and it should come as no surprise that these pieces of recreational real estate are in high demand. Now comes the bad news. This campground is small, so small that trailers and RV's are prohibited. So small that to get a campsite here you've got to be more than early, you've got to be lucky.The decor at Manzanita Campground is Arizona ash and box elders, gravel beaches and stream-bed boulders. The creek is regularly stocked with trout. Colorful songbirds add a flash of brilliance to the trees. Access is easy. The campground is just a few yards off US 89A and the pull-throughs are paved.

Our group camped here in March or April. It was very nice, but just off the road and we could hear traffic all day and night. I thought the camp sites on the outside edge were spaced much better than in the center of the loop.

This place sucks for the price. The host for the campsite was like Jackyl and Hyde. She was down right nasty!! There are only a few parking spaces, most people have to park on the main road and pay $5 for a daily pass in addition to the $20 per person. All the tents are crammed in, you will be able to hear several people snoring and it will keep you awake. You have to be as quiet as a mouse, in fear of the host. I would recommend Lo Lo Mai Springs which is just outside Sedona.

Lovely campground alongside Oak Creek. There's only one problem... Its right on the road! I'd give this place a 5 if there was some distance between the campsites and the road. The sites near the creek are better than the ones in the back, right below the highway. Sites fill up fast on summer weekends. This place is typical of all camping in and near Sedona- Crowded and full. I do, however, like this campground the best of all in the Sedona area.
