Hidden in the most often overlooked sierranational forest, this campground is a gem! There’s a beautiful creek that was full in August, which flows alongside the grounds. The water creates a great sound dampening - perfect for midnight snore charades around the campfire. Lots of drivable trailheads including jackass lake, Fresno dome, Yosemite, mammoth, and ansel Adams wilderness

There are few gems along the Hwy 99 route between Sacramento and Bakersfield but this is definitely one of them! Located a short 20 miles east of 99, just north of Fresno, this Army Corps of Engineers campground is stunning. Situated among rolling hills that are luscious green in the spring, this campsite is quiet and packed full of things to do. Whether you want to bike, hike, fish, boat or just sit and enjoy the peace and quiet, this is the site for you!

We're dry camping at the Wildcat site which the ranger said is rarely used. There is no one else in the whole campground!

Coyotes howled in the distance last night and it was dead quiet. Going to take the road bike out today and explore some of the roads around the Lake. Lake is full after the 2023 season.

The name says it all. This campsite was a majestic experience for being surrounded by huge pines and sunsets you have to experience- photos do them no justice. Campers were very respectful and nighttime brought a soothing silence with very little noise and partying. Everyone gathers to see the sunset and it gave a sense of community and a true appreciation of nature. Drives and hikes to nearby tree parks made it easy to visit some of the largest trees in the U.S. There’s a Grant Grove market and visitors center just across from the campground entrance. There’s also a cafe that you can grab cooked food in case you arrive late and just want to relax. Restrooms were clean. Showers were out at the time of our visit, but it wasn’t a big deal. Large boulders and huge fallen trees provided plenty of places to sit or bask in the sun and also stargaze. You can see the lights of Fresno wayyy in the distance at night depending on which side of the campground you are on. Definitely saving this for an annual attempt to nab a campsite.

We have stayed at this campground many times and recently revisited in September’24. This COE is on a small lake that is used for irrigation during the summer resulting in a much lower water level than in the spring. Fishing is good. The Corps have added more electric sites over the years and there were 5-6 that fit our 43’ Blue Bird. We marked this as “big rig” friendly. Springtime has the grasses green with abundant wild flowers in late Feb through early March. Summer can be hot as the elevation is low in the California Central Valley and the grasses are brown. Sites are asphalt. Many sites may take some time to level. Back in and pull through are available. A nice dump stations is available within the COE park. Fall has a Tarantula migration and you will definitely see them. Coyote, Bobcat, and deer are frequently seen. Codorniz is 21 miles from Chowchilla. One way in and one way out cuts down on traffic.

This is a decent campsite. Nothing amazing but the lake is nice. The bathrooms aren’t particularly clean so I chose not to shower. The sites are very wide open so you won’t have much privacy.

We had a shared space, good thing they were really friendly. It was a very well shaded area that we got! It was a beautiful day, very peaceful too . My family and I enjoyed our day!

Plenty of sites, we arrived after 8 pm and were able to find a spot and book it on Recreation.gov easily.

Sparse and open foothills very beautiful in late winter.

Clean Campground and site. The site we stayed at had a nice fire ring, was flat, had a picnic table and it was close to running water. We tent camped, but it looked like there were plenty of RV spots too. Nice and quiet too.

Use your national park pass for 50% off such a quiet place.

This is a great campsite but there are a few things campers must know. Not all sites are drive up. Some have a “thrombosis hill and stairs” to get to. If you book sites B 16, 17 or 18 bring a sherper or pack horse with you to get your tent and stuff to the top of the hill. Male bathroom has a toilet and shower and was clean. Female bathroom has the same but was disgusting! Not what we expected from a Gov. Park. As we were only staying night, we slept in Jabulani #Jabulaniadventures.

Even with all the rain, the lake isn’t very full. The campground, including the bathroom, was clean. It was difficult to figure out what to do when we reached the campground, because there is no one at the entrance. A ranger came around at some point, who was able to answer our questions. The sites are small, but there are some with great views of the lake.

…IF you get the right spot. We were there during Easter weekend and it was a bit crowded but not too bad. The sites are too close together and we had a nosy neighbor that seemed to take pleasure in watching our every move til I told her to mind her own business  The rate is reasonable and the grounds are clean and well kept with lantern posts, fire rings and sturdy table. Some even have nice verandas. Rangers on  site are friendly and accommodating and will even deliver fire wood to you.

Family camp. If you not offended by noisy kids, you can stay here. The river is a plus !

We stayed for a few days while we explored a couple of the national parks. The campground was so pretty with the most beautiful views of the lake. We fished a lot but didn’t catch anything.
