Chavez Crossing

Beautiful spot. Full. Totally quiet at night. Can hear car traffic after 6 am, but quiet. Stream 20 yards from campsite. Pleasant host. Best to have reservation.caught wiffs of toilet a few times while walking grounds.

Beautiful spot.

Wonderful camping location, it’s not large but I enjoy that the camp ground wasn’t over crowded. The river ran behind our campsite. Our site was only able to fit a smaller size tent, large tents would be difficult. It’s right off of the main road, I didn’t hear a lot of road noise where my campsite was located near the river. 

Manzanita Campground 

After seeing pics and reading reviews of this campground, I was under the impression it was further out from main roads than it really is. But it is RIGHT off the main road in Sedona. It’s also smaller than what pictures make it to look like (i think site 19 in the corner is the best) so you’re near the dumpsters and camp host no matter what site you have. So, if quiet, hidden away, woodsy is your jam and is what you’re seeking, this isn’t the place to find it. 
However, the camp hosts are awesome. The campground is well kept. And even just right close by there are some cool woodsy areas along the creek to check out. 
It’s also a decent base camp for going off to explore other areas in and around Sedona. So overall, it is quite decent. Just don’t be misled by the pictures that make it look out there off the beaten path, or that it’s a big campground; in reality is it one relatively small loop.
