This campground worked well for me for 2 nights with electrical hookups, showers and dump station. There is not much privacy between campsites in Buffalo Grove. I was able to visit Bandelier National Monument, but I was not able to get tickets to the Tent Rocks.

Ringtail cat and Juniper campgrounds should be open long before mid April.
Restrooms and Showers at Buffalo Grove campground in desperate need of renovation, only one of two toilets and showers have been in decent working condition.
Beautiful Recent built restrooms / showers inaccessible until Mid April, default to understand the reasoning behind later season opening of Juniper campground.
New Mexico Residents Should have priority first Choice of Campsites.
Otherwise Cochiti Lake is #1 on My list of campground / sites in New Mexico.
Thankful to have it close to Home.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- 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.
