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!

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!

My biggest complaint is that the sewer connections at the full hook ups are too high, they need to be lowered.

While staying in space 54, I was unable to use the sewer clean-out because it was too high above the ground, as is all of the others that have sewer clean-outs. This I know because over the years I have camped in each of them more than once as well as my friends and this is the biggest compliant, we all have.

Nice year round campground when you need a quick camping fix. Clean and quiet. The flies can be a bit challenging in the restrooms

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.
