Manzanita Campground is a small, year-round tent-only facility with 18 campsites situated directly on Oak Creek in Oak Creek Canyon, offering direct access to the creek for fishing, swimming, and wading.

Each site includes a picnic table, fire pit, and grill with shade from Arizona ash and box elder trees; reservations are highly recommended as sites book months in advance with a 7-day stay limit.

RVs and trailers are strictly prohibited due to narrow access and small site sizes; only tents and small sleep-in vehicles are permitted, and the campground is located just south of Slide Rock State Park with paved pull-throughs for easy access.
