Manzana Narrows Campground

Manzana Narrows is a popular backcountry trail camp located 7 miles upstream from Nira Campground via the Manzana Trail in the San Rafael Wilderness, featuring multiple picnic tables, fire rings, and a pit toilet.

The camp sits on a large flat next to Manzana Creek with reliable water sources and deep pools suitable for swimming, making it an ideal overnight destination or first night stop for backpackers.

Access requires hiking the Manzana Trail from Nira Campground; the camp is typically less crowded on weekdays and offers excellent shade from oak and bay trees.
