The lake was so inviting... Saw a lot of RVers over the memorial weekend. Not much shade around so come with your canopies

Beautiful campground on the lake. The grounds were clean and well maintained and the camp hosts were knowledgeable and welcoming.

Had very great time even got to meet the park volunteers which are very kind and told us some other sites will be back we had a wild turkey and its babys walk through the camp

Really good camping ground. Overlooks the lake. The only downside is that it is the only path that goes down to the lake from that area so youll have multiple random people walking through your campsite to go down the path.

This was our first time to Eastman Lake and Cordoniz, but it won't be our last.We were impressed by many things. the campground is in beautiful condition. Everything (hot water, showers, tables, water near the campsites, lights) worked properly. the hosts, J and Terry, were friendly and well-informed, and are doing a great job. We were in Campsite #4, and were blown away by the view of the lake and surrounding hills. There were lots of birds, who got used to us in a few hours, and were busy around our camp. Our only complaint is a minor one: the signage directing you to the exits is random and hard to follow. This camp isn't very big, but it is confusing, especially because many of the roads are marked as one way, that that seemed to never by the way we wanted to go! However, we figured it out, and really enjoyed our stay at Cordoniz!

Space 31 is great. We visited in April. It has ample flat ground for comfortable tent sleeping. Our party of 6 was able to fit two 6 person tents with plenty of room leftover. The trees provided some shade but especially on hot months an EZ UP is recommended. The restrooms found within walking distance were clean and stocked. We spent 2 nights and couldnt have been happier. The campsite keepers were so friendly and very helpful with any questions we had. We hiked the trail, we fished, swam in the lake and enjoyed the nature. We highly recommended codorniz.

We had site 49. Water, 50 amp, firepit and picnic table. Sand and asphalt. Ranger met us as we were setting up. Very polite.

Great time with great people.Enjoyed the program at the amphitheater for the kids
@RedS7E6C7EC44B · Camped on Feb 20, 2025 at Campsite #10
Good place for solo camp, no music, few yotes tiptoeing around you but other than that pretty peaceful, nobody bothers you, you can always holler at the rangers or just call the park phone if anything
@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Feb 18, 2025 at Campsite #42
A beautiful camp ground. One of our favorites.
@CharlotteFEFF2 · Camped on Feb 10, 2025 at Campsite #49
Feburary is the perfect time to visit. The weather was cool. The summer is very hot. There was no camphost onsite most of the time and ranger presence was extremely light. Didn't feel safe.
@PHILIPW1366595 · Camped on Feb 9, 2025 at Campsite #37
A hidden gem in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains... not too far, with a scenic drive, to Yosemite NP!Grounds were well maintained, site were exceptional and we couldn't get over the views.Stargazing was a gift with dark clear skys!!!
@AideeG90D7D45C · Camped on Jan 31, 2025 at Campsite #9
So peaceful!!! So clean! Terry and J are AMAZING! Very hospitable and make you feel comfortable. I'd be there every weekend if I could.
@AnthonyB906983 · Camped on Jan 20, 2025 at Campsite #13
This spot can't pull your car up, probably says it in the description so my fault. It's a campsite. So great. Good shade and clean.
@JamesP3218459 · Camped on Dec 31, 2024 at Campsite #56
The site was clean, however it's a little hard to back into. Also the water and clean out station is down along with the WFI for far too long. And there was no camp host. and has been for far too long . And there is no camp host.
@UriL010B63C9B6 · Camped on Dec 22, 2024 at Campsite #43

@LisaH3162185 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #9
This is a wonderful campground! We reserved a spot by the lake and saw the sunset. The camp hosts were so nice and welcoming!! We will definitely be back!
@ThomasM8282631 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #10
Beautiful, clean.
@JohannLA3DED65 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #53
Paid for electric, water and sewer hookup but got none of those services since power was out. It had already been out for months. I had same situation a few months ago and assumed it would be fixed by now. Without power their water and sewer system are not usable. Left after one night. Had planned to be at Cordoniz again in a few weeks but I will not be coming back until this is fixed. Stop advertising full hookups until this is fixed.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
