This is a great campground quite close to Santa Fe. The camp site were well spaced and each had a roof over the table. The sites were blacktop and sized sufficiently for large rigs.
Bath houses we did not use.
The negative was that the sites are not level and without ramps for the wheels, you are most likely to lift some wheels off the ground, as we saw another motor home do.

Nice campground! Pretty views.
Not far from Santa Fe! Full hook ups and showers available.
Looked like they had a horseshoe pit or sandbox at one time. Paved roads.

We were in the Juniper loop. Big, level sites, but the electric and water hookups were all in really bad locations to try to reach (up steep hills, too far from camper). One bathroom was closed, and the bathhouse that was open was so old, disgusting, stinky and filthy that it was unusable. Definitely the worst ACE experience ever. The lower loop in the park seemed newer and better. We drove down to use the bathrooms there.

Cochiti is a delightful quiet campground, close enough to Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and other attractions, but quiet!
An overlooked essential feature is the laundromat on the outskirts of the campground. Clean, inexpensive, and with ample working machines.

The campground was very clean. nice hot showers. Campsites are big and easy to get into. Took a nice bike ride across the dam. This is a nice staging campground for doing things in the Santa Fe area, including Bandelier NP.

Very nice campground with paved sites and sheltered picnic tables. Most sites are level and well spaced. Bathroom clean and plenty of hot water although shower is on timer and must be turned back on when hot water suddenly stops! Nice reservoir for kayaks, SUP, canoes.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
