Nice backpacking camp next to the Manzana Creek, which had a nice flow. We used this as a base camp to hike the Hurricane Deck (no water on the Portrero trail). Only downfall is the amount of dead trees in the area and around the camp. Be careful and don't place your tent in the direction of a tree that could collapse.
Amazing remote wilderness camp on the Manzana Trail. Swimming holes are close by the river. There are basically no facilities. Only a fire ring and a picknick table
When I went there there was water and it was nice.
