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!!!

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

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 couldn’t 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.

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 you’ll 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!
