Codorniz Campground is very safe. The Army Rangers patrol the area many times during the day and they are friendly. There is also a host on duty who is very helpful answering questions. I enjoyed my 14-day visit and had extended my stay to the maxium days.
This is a very quiet campground with actual campers who enjoy Iake sports and camping. There were no loud parties while I was there, even on the busy weekends.
AT&T cell service did not work even with a truck/RV Weboost. However, I was close enough to the host's office wifi to get 3 of 4 arcs. Would recommend a wifi extender and camping near the host area if you want internet.
I stayed in April at a shaded area in a camper van close to the host's office. The weather was nice around 70 degrees and hit 80 degrees a few times. While many of the picnic tables are shaded, there are only a few RV spots that are shaded. Campsite 12 was very nice, shaded, near the lake, but probably too far from the host's office to get wifi. I heard this campground can get very hot in July and August even with a/c. I plan to visit again in May before it gets too hot.

Great place to get away from the Bay Area and relax for a weekend. Campground is well maintained and generally very quiet.

35 years and still a great spot. Water is low, but camping was nice.

This is a very nice and quiet camp ground with great views. However we were concerned about a few things.
The #2 bathroom...mens side shower door doesn't have a secure lock on the shower door. No hand soap in the bathrooms, just hand sanitizer outside.
On our second stay, the trash cans were full and never emptied the whole weekend. It was the handicap site (23) I think...at the #2 bathroom facility.
Also wifi is very weak, even at site # 2. This is not that important, but if you offer it, boost it. A little maintenance is needed.
Other then the few things we mentioned, this campground is the perfect little get away.
