We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at Cochiti! The campground is impeccable, the hosts were personable and helpful and the view from our campsite (Ringtail Cat #71) overlooking the lake was just beautiful.

Carrier download speeds are in usable. Was planning on staying longer but unable to get basic calls let alone use 2 different cellular data plans…

Well spaced sites in Buffalo Grove with water and electric. Gate personnel excellent as are hosts. Beautiful views. Clean and orderly. Campers there thus far are quiet and pleasant. Those with dogs are well behaved. Go often.

The kayaking was fun but the debris in the water was heavy, the algae was also everywhere. The campgrounds were very nice, the showers were super and clean. This was the 3rd week of August , monsoon season. Quiet during mid week.

while we were there may concern is that they lock the gates into the camp grounds at 10 pm if you go some where and can't make it back by 10 pm your locked out, also if there is an emergency as maybe a camper catches on fire or some has a heart attack or any type of emergency that requires paramedic . this concerns me very much since I an a senior of 73 year old . we have been going to Cochiti for 15 years and never had any problems with people. please look into this . when people are camping the gate should be open unless the camp grounds are closed for the season.

- 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.
