Very well kept campground. Stayed in the Buffalo loop site 57. Paved pad for RV and a concrete pad with a shelter over it. Grill and picnic table included. No fires! Quiet place and off of Interstate at least 15 minutes. Would go back again but I live over a thousand miles away. Give it a try!!!

Very beautiful setting and especially quiet. Close to either Santa Fe or Albuquerque and lower altitude than close campgrounds.

Spent two nights in the Ringtail Cat section of the campground. The sight had a nice, level concrete pad with a covered picnic bench area. While there were no hookups there, there were two community water spigots to fill up water. Dump station was near by and easy access. The sight had a nice view of Lake Cochiti and was super quite and tranquil. Location is about 12 miles off I-40 between Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

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.
