Feburary is the perfect time to visit. The weather was cool. The summer is very hot. There was no camphost onsite most of the time and ranger presence was extremely light. Didn't feel safe.

This spot can't pull your car up, probably says it in the description so my fault. It's a campsite. So great. Good shade and clean.

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.

This is a wonderful campground! We reserved a spot by the lake and saw the sunset. The camp hosts were so nice and welcoming!! We will definitely be back!

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.
