The place is very nice but as sun went down we couldn’t go outside. There were scorpions running all over are campsite . We did not even stay both nights . We were in rv the whole time because we couldn’t get down with kids and left in the morning. But it looks nice

Brand new facilities. Awesome view of the lake at higher elevation. Great swimming, kayaking and fishing opportunities.
You can jog the rio grande dam wall if you want. Or just go for a walk on it.

Lots of spots, was glad to be able to reserve online; however, we pulled in late and someone was in our reserved spot and we didn't realize not all of them had water, so it was late and we were trying to find a decent spot and then ended up in one without water, too tired to move again, and we couldn't update our reservation online to the new spot we moved to because it was after midnight so it would only let us reserve a new spot for the next night.

This was our 3rd visit to Cochiti, we really do love it there….we arrived after a holiday weekend and things were a little messy but it was soon all cleaned up.
It’s quiet, the lake is beautiful for boating, fishing & swimming.

Always a great stay! Bathrooms and showers are clean (for being a camp ground). Campsites are well kept. Lake is always fun! Staff are friendly. Overview is amazing during sunset 😍

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.
