Date:	04-09-2024
Surveyor Name:	Daniel O'Shea
Camp Description:	I decided to trust alltrails after a long day and camped just short of the campsite as there was a small flat and a tiny stone campfire ring built up. Was very tired so stayed the night here with no fire and had good enough sleep. The next morning I walked 5 minutes up the trail and low and behold found Manzana Narrows! Moral of the story is to not always trust a downloaded map from AllTrails and make sure to look around a little more :P Beautiful campsite though with plenty of room and water!

Water Source Details:	Even the waterfall is flowing with all the rain! Plenty of water

Surveyor Name:	Tyler Schelling
Camp Description:	Very nice, large, and clean campsite. Majority of the creek is dried up as you hike up. As we got closer to the Manzano Narrows camp, there was small areas of water, but most was stagnant. At the camp there is no small waterfall like some pictures show and it is now a stagnant pool. However, below this pool, there is a slight trickle of water, but I'm honestly not sure if it will last through summer. We were the only group at the camp on a Saturday night and didn't see anyone else on the entire trail.
Water Source:	Trickle
Water Source Details:	Likely soon to be stagnant.
Weather Conditions:	Sunny - High 80's/Low 90's

Camp Description:	The campsite is great. There are about 6 or so individual campsites in it allowing a couple tents in each one. There’s also a toilet up the hill at the far end end of the campsite. Right by the entrance to camp from the Nira side, there is a big pool with a little waterfall, and I saw some steelhead trout swimming in it. It’s also a great campsite for a hot day because it is shaded by the hills on either side and there are a lot of trees.
Water Source:	Flowing
Water Source Details:	Lots of water in pools, and quite a few locations to pump water

Camp Description:	The camp is in good condition, but had a fair amount of trash. I did my best to pack out the wet wipes and stuff I found. There were ~10 trout in the main pool, and one that looked to be about 10in, definitely the largest I've ever seen there. The pit toilet is about to be maxed out, the levels didn't drop significantly during the closure. One will need to be dug soon, otherwise people will continue using it causing a giant mess.

Camp Description:	Day hiked to Manzana Narrows to see "what's the haps." The camp is dark and cold this time of year, so I recommend bagging as much water as you can and continuing up the hill to the Alcove or somewhere you can get some Sun exposure. I arrived at 12:30 PM and it felt like sunset was imminent. Chilly, as well, but then again the temp at Nira was in the low 20's.

Camp Description:	May 24-25, 2014 Large campsite was clean and quiet with AMPLE water flowing through. Started at Nira with Lunch at Ray's camp. Incredible array of native plants in bloom with subtle, yet spectacular wildflowers showing. Very exciting! Fire restrictions are in effect in the back country area. Fly's were present, but not a problem. No mosquitos. Fair amount of Poison Oak. Ticks present, but not overwhelming. I encountered 4 Wilderness Rangers/Volunteers along the way. All were very helpful and I was presented with a Los Padres Ranger business card each time. "use it or lose it" says "The Beeman" Border Collie was happy with the available water to splash in, as was I. Waterfall swimming hole was icing on the cake.
Water Source:	Flowing
Water Source Details:	Clear water flowing at Manzana Narrow, several deep pools were a welcoming sight. Easy to filter, and ample from Ray's Camp to Manzana Narrows
