Set on the banks of Oak Creek, Manzanita Campground provides is a relaxing respite after an action-packed day. As the southernmost campground in Oak Creek Canyon, it’s six miles from Sedona and an excellent basecamp for your hiking and biking adventures.
Each campsite has a fire pit, grill, and picnic table, along with ample shade from box elders and Arizona ash trees. Trailers and RVs are not allowed (tents and small sleep-in vehicles only).
The campground is a tight squeeze and fills up quickly (especially on the weekends). You can make reservations up to six months in advance.
