Located a pleasant distance from the bustle of nearby Santa Fe and Albuquerque, Cochiti Campground is a quiet retreat a reasonably quick drive off the interstate, and offers a nice array of spacious sites with ample amenities to boot. Great views of the lake, covered picnic areas, and water / electric available at many sites. Unfortunately, we stayed only one night in April, with no extra time to explore the lake and area. Would come back in a heartbeat though, and recommend it as a stop along the path or as a destination to get out of town.

I love staying at Cochiti. Only suggestions I have are fill the doggy waste stations with bags. They seem to always be empty when I stay there. Bathrooms need to be cleaned better.

Bathrooms need some attention. No TP, paper towels or soap. Lost power for a few minutes in the middle of the night, but resumed and didn't repeat. There doesn't appear to be anyone there to attend to problems that may arise. Nice hikes.

Clean enough facility, but water was barely warm for shower. Spaces are paved and mostly level.

Close to Santa Fe. Tent Rocks is closed. Large beautiful campsites with W/E. Boat ramp. Wonderful sunsets. Did not use restrooms so I cannot advise. Nice covered patio's and tables. Has a lamp post light but as far as I can tell none in the campground were working.
Overall rating is 5 /5...love COE's

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.
