Loved the wildlife. Saw some wild turkeys, quail, and a doe. The water was a little low but still managed to land 3 bass. Catch and release, of course. Would recommend going in the spring, when everything is green and beautiful.

We had a good time. The site is large with plenty of room for tents and rvs. We appreciated the many trash cans and water faucets, although it would have been nice to have a water faucet near the picnic shelter. The bathroom was close by and shared by the 3 group sites, the womens shower drain was backed up. The weather was great. The lake water level was very low.

This was our second time at Codorniz. We like the campground and plan to return. I'll start with the negatives:1) Got there Friday afternoon. No one there to check us in. No firewood. 2) Campground seemed to be at about 50% capacity. They do a good job of marking the campsites. We saw that there was no one next to us the weekend we were there which was nice. Then someone showed up and just took over one of the empty campsites. The Ranger just shrugged her shoulders when we asked about it. So many empty sites and they had to take the one right next to us with no apparent accountability.Other than that, we had a fun trip and the weather as great! Eventually the wood got replenished and we had a campfire. The campgrounds are nice and clean and most of them are pretty spacious. Bathrooms are decent. I've been in cleaner restrooms but I've definitely been in dirtier restrooms. It's a convenient location as well.

Nice year round campground when you need a quick camping fix. Clean and quiet. The flies can be a bit challenging in the restrooms
@JamesP3218459 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #54
My biggest complaint is that the sewer connections at the full hook ups are too high, they need to be lowered.
@PalaviR7536D95 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #10
Only site 11 is good for tent has plenty of shade and view
@DonB9851872 · Camped on Sep 25, 2025 at Campsite #56
More sewer hook ups would be nice

My family and I enjoy this campground very much.. the fact that it has electric hookups fur RVs is wonderful.. and is not expensive like other campgrounds.. I recommend this campground

Great campground with different amenities such as canopies, electric hook ups(not all campsites) and good amount of trees. Each campsite is provided with trash bins. Has a volley ball court, small play park for kids and an amphi-theatre as well. Firewood is available at the entrance guard for a small fee, thanks to the scouts who provide them. Bathrooms were tidy enough. Overall good experience. We were told there are coyotes and snakes but they haven't spotted one in some time, however on our last day of stay we did spot a rattle snake!

We had an wonderful time at this camp. So close to the lake. Loved all the space for the cost. We appreciated all the security all hours of the day!
@JoshA6489384 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #4
My first time solo camping. The camp ground is super clean and the ranger was really nice.
@GregP7824948 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #42
Great place, great camp host J and Terri. Wild life around, turkeys, rabbits, mountain lion and fish jumping. Fun kayaking around lake, did it in two days at a slow pace. Will be back for sure
@MajkenBr5C94C2 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #36
Great location, lovely place and beautiful surroundings. Very peaceful.
@ClarissaW62556 · Camped on Jul 4, 2025 at Campsite #W18
We had an amazing trip here. Staff were great! Loved our site it was very spacious. I would have given it 5/5 stars however our site was the only one that had cold running water and not the greatest shower pressure.
@Christian35339 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #NGA
Site was clean water worked showers worked bathroom was clean. Lake was warm kids had a great time
@MarkW2201412 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #NGB
Tons of space, nice views and nice amenities
@AngelaH869D51B · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #44
Small pretty campground. The dumpsite is before you enter the campground to the left. They have bathrooms with 1 shower in each. The lake was really low but you were able to still get to it. They lowered the ramp some for boats. Sites were level. W&E hookups. There is nothing out there, the closest store is about 35 mins away so make sure to get gas and stock up before heading out there.
@SandeepYC2EA6D · Camped on Jun 7, 2025 at Campsite #9
Good quite site with access to the necessary amenities. Water was great to swim as well.
@AnitaE2F106E67 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #40
The camp sites were very clean, trash was pickup regularly. The camp hosts were very attentive and even called us when they had not seen our vehicle in a couple of days.We worried about snakes since we had two little ones and a dog, but we never saw any.I would recommend this site
@CliffordACCB2A · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #31
My go to spot, had a quite weekend, will always go back.
@ANAAB344F8416C · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #46
I really enjoy spending time at Codorniz Campground. I go at least once a month. It is a beautiful place to relax and be in connection with nature. Just be careful with the snakes, in my last visit I saw a snake moving across by the ground right in my campsite. I recommend this place, just be respectful of nature.
@SamB6988985 · Camped on Jun 3, 2025 at Campsite #41
Love this place
@EmelGEC994B608 · Camped on May 25, 2025 at Campsite #12

@SarinC60557F69 · Camped on May 24, 2025 at Campsite #24
The lake was so inviting... Saw a lot of RVers over the memorial weekend. Not much shade around so come with your canopies

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
