Just about every site has lots of open sky for great solar and satellite. The lake is low and quite a walk from the CG so we didn't hike down to it. The restrooms work, good pressure and temperature on the showers. But they're not well cleaned. You can see where when they are mopped and the dirt just gets pushed to the walls. Trash on the floor. Plumbing leaks and they're showing their age. Graffiti etched into walls and dividers. Park is very unsafe, no police presence or enforcement rangers. Hosts were nice, they came around and gave us our parking pass when we arrived. Check in office was closed. Park road is one way, come in and go to the right for all sites. Watch for signs telling you where to turn as the signs are small. There is a visitors center back down the road as you come in. The sign says open 9-4 but it was never open when we were here. There are some trails but they are poorly marked, if at all. There was a hike to a bridge that started in the group area, but it was 8 miles round trip so we only went part way.

One of my favorites! Beautiful and peaceful, great walking and hiking trails.

Stayed 4 days. The bathroom and showers were well kept. The rangers were great. Walked a nice trail. The lake was very low and had algae warnings which worried me as I had my dog with me. Reception was garbage there and the surrounding areas, but I guess thats not why you go. Not many services nearby, so bring everything. I would definitely go back though.

we always like going to lake Eastman nice and quite.
@Alexv7794422 · Camped on Oct 17, 2025 at Campsite #46
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.
@SarahV4477511 · Camped on Oct 16, 2025 at Campsite #GAS
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
@MagaliGEEB7AAE · Camped on Sep 5, 2025 at Campsite #59
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
@TarunKumE702B9 · Camped on Aug 30, 2025 at Campsite #34
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!
@TeresaM2076490 · Camped on Aug 29, 2025 at Campsite #12
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

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.
