We camp here frequently and never had any problems. There was NO water the whole time we were there. Not a big deal we still made the best of it. However there was 1 female park ranger who was very rude and went out of her way to be rude. We paid for water/electric we were not refunded anything for not having water. Nor did we expect a refund, but we did not appreciate her bad attitude.

Codorniz Recreation Area Campground was a truly wonderful campground that my wife Cathy and I totally enjoyed. The sounds of coyotes, cattle, owl’s, eagles, hawks, woodpeckers just made this a wild place. To think that just 23-miles away is the busy, smoggy route 99 with the fast pace of city activity, this place is a gem in the wild. J and Terry camp hosts were always ready to answer and question and share knowledge of the area.

One of the best campgrounds! We were in site #5 we a great view to the lake! The only little issue: the description said there was water service at this site, which is not quite correct. It’s a shared faucet about 50 yards away.

The campsite is a little out of the way but it served our needs of celebrating Thanksgiving at an out of the way location. The sites are well maintained, clean, and water sources are not far from the non-electric sites. Bathroom was clean and operating and available at no cost. Wood is available from the volunteer rangers at their site for $5 a bundle. Trailer site with electricity appeared to be also to be well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed spending our first Thanksgiving camping trip there. There are trails available for hiking, and fishing in the reservoir. Finally, with a Senior pass it only cost us (party of three) $30 for a three night stay. In my opinion, a bargain. Give it a try and see what you think.
