Cochiti Recreation Area is located in Sandoval County, New Mexico, within the boundaries of the Pueblo de Cochiti Indian Reservation.
The lake offers two public recreation areas: Cochiti on the west side of the lake and Tetilla Peak on the east side. Both sides offer spectacular scenic views of the water and surrounding mountains.
The Cochiti Dam is one of the ten largest earth-fill dams in the United States, and also one of the largest in the world. The lake derives its name from the Indian Pueblo on the Cochiti Reservation.

Summary

Cochiti Campground offers beautiful views, clean facilities, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a great destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Many visitors enjoyed activities like tubing on Cochiti Lake and appreciated the cleanliness of the campground and restrooms. However, some noted issues with water access, maintenance of facilities, and occasional lack of supervision from staff. Overall, most campers had positive experiences and expressed a desire to return.
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.
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.

From Albuquerque, New Mexico, take Interstate 25 north to exit 259. Turn west on State Route 22 and proceed through Pena Blanca to the park office and recreation area.
Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
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.
Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
