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.

The positive aspect of electric power issues and water shut off is that it was quiet with few campers most of the time. Restrooms are closed as well until power is restored for water operation. Restrooms have been replaced with portapotties. Bring extra toilet paper since portapotties are used by everyone, ie, runs out of paper quickly. Bring all the water you will need. There is water available outside of the campground at one of the day use areas. Cell service was very bad, even with the Weboost, ie, had to keep rebooting my phone. We had a peaceful visit.

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.

There’s no water (or electric) in the entire campground. We had a non-electric site, so we were prepared to not have electric, but we were never informed that the water had been shut off for weeks. A heads up for planning purposes would have been appreciated. Beautiful campground and very well kept. Park ranger was extremely friendly and apologetic about the water situation. We will be back… with water in tow next time!

Exceeded our expectations in terms of location, site spacing, and even cell coverage with Verizon.
Unfortunately, water hookups were not available in any of the sites while we were there, but we were able to access water in the day use area a short drive away from our site. We had electric--which is a plus in a park like this! Park rangers/camp host were FANTASTIC, very friendly and available! We would definitely return!
