Great time with great people.Enjoyed the program at the amphitheater for the kids

@RedS7E6C7EC44B · Camped on Feb 20, 2025 at Campsite #10

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

@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Feb 18, 2025 at Campsite #42

A beautiful camp ground. One of our favorites.

@CharlotteFEFF2 · Camped on Feb 10, 2025 at Campsite #49

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.

@PHILIPW1366595 · Camped on Feb 9, 2025 at Campsite #37

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!!!

@AideeG90D7D45C · Camped on Jan 31, 2025 at Campsite #9

So peaceful!!! So clean! Terry and J are AMAZING! Very hospitable and make you feel comfortable. I'd be there every weekend if I could.

@AnthonyB906983 · Camped on Jan 20, 2025 at Campsite #13

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.

@JamesP3218459 · Camped on Dec 31, 2024 at Campsite #56

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.

@UriL010B63C9B6 · Camped on Dec 22, 2024 at Campsite #43

Was the place most quiet I have ever been. Incredible view and placeWe hadnt water at all

@LisaH3162185 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #9

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!

@ThomasM8282631 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #10

Beautiful, clean.

@JohannLA3DED65 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #53

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.

@JamesP3218459 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #52

No Water, no power, no dump station, and no bathrooms

@CharlotteFEFF2 · Camped on Oct 30, 2024 at Campsite #44

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.

@WilliamB132333 · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #9

Theres no water (or electric) in the entire campground. We had a non-electric site, so we were prepared to not have electric, but we were never informed that the water had been shut off for weeks. A heads up for planning purposes would have been appreciated. Beautiful campground and very well kept. Park ranger was extremely friendly and apologetic about the water situation. We will be back with water in tow next time!

@BetsyME17A0A5E · Camped on Oct 20, 2024 at Campsite #9

Exceeded our expectations in terms of location, site spacing, and even cell coverage with Verizon.Unfortunately, water hookups were not available in any of the sites while we were there, but we were able to access water in the day use area a short drive away from our site. We had electric--which is a plus in a park like this! Park rangers/camp host were FANTASTIC, very friendly and available! We would definitely return!

@KimberlyH57940 · Camped on Oct 19, 2024 at Campsite #4

It was hard to find the campground, but the area was beautiful. Fabulous, quiet place. Would definitely go back.

@VIVEKS47D4B789 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #9

All bathrooms were under maintenance:( Very disappointed as there were no arrangements to take shower !The campsite 9 hardly has level place to put couple of tents.

@MichelleL80751 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #W08

Rude ranger that complained about our cars not on the pavement and we had 2 tires on the payment, she said they need to be moved. When we spoke to a different ranger he said we are parked correctly. She complained about our electric bikes and said we could not ride them. When we walked to the other side of the camping area. Same bikes had been used from different campers. When we told her the next day she said she did not see them. But she was flirting with a guy in a truck and was not paying attention or she was discriminating against us.

@MichelleL80751 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #W10

We have camped here for years. This was the worst experience we have ever had. We were told that we had to have 2 tires on the payment. We had 2 tires and said next time it would be a warning.. then same ranger complained we could not ride our electric bikes. When others had the same bikes and was not told anything. And we know this because she was flirting with a guy in the truck right across as the kids rode the bikes. We got woken up 3 mornings in a row at 8 am. Could not even enjoy our weekend. We felt harassed the entire time we were camping. Same ranger every morning.

@DavidD5028320 · Camped on May 9, 2024 at Campsite #53

One of the nicest campgrounds we have ever stayed in. Well spaced sites, lovely views and full facilities. Quiet and peaceful.

@MichaelS838841 · Camped on May 1, 2024 at Campsite #44

Many issues at this campground. Bathrooms are often out of order (no hot water, showers offline, stalls closed down, no TP, etc). The camp host has a noisy dog that barks constantly. The campground is very popular with local homeless and is frequently populated with unhoused people. Generally an unsafe vibe now. It is noisy at this campground and rangers wont do anything about aggressive dogs brought by the unhoused. Lots of creepy people in old rundown vans camping the full two weeks. The campground is also a mess. Lots of trash on the trails and in camp. Avoid this campground if you have an alternative.

@OmarA1F2C91CD4 · Camped on Apr 26, 2024 at Campsite #20

Very clean

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
