Site 57, best site in my opinion, basically by yourself. Site is on a slight slant but very doable. View of the sunset on passenger side of trailer.
Covered cement patio and table. Beautiful views of hills surrounding the park. Shower house nearest to Buffalo Loop was clean, but is shared with at least 2 other loops which is why it needs more TLC. We used the shower house nearest Ringtail Loop nicer less worn. WIFI - T Mobile was slow in the am but picked up speed in the afternoon. 5 bars at 4G. Laundry is less than 2 miles from park in Cochiti Town. Sante Fe is approx 20 miles north and Albuquerque is approx 40 miles south. Convenient store 2 miles away is very limited on items.

The sights were large and very clean with a concrete pad around a covered picnic table. All the sights are paved with ample parking space. Our stay was very quiet and peaceful. The bathhouses could use a little TLC but are functional and fairly clean. As a matter of fact they were cleaner than some private RV places where we have recently stayed.

Beautiful campground. Toilets and showers in good shape and we were able to get level easily in our site.

This is a nice place to stay. The newer section is nicer. We were in the older section, but still had water and electric. Very nice place to stay for the price. Would definitely stay here again. We did kayak in the lake and were amazed at all the wood and trash in the water, not pleasant.

This is a very nice and well maintained campground. The sites are spacious and level. We started in site 23, you will need extension for electrical hookup and 50’ hose for water. Stayed 4 nights.

Campground restrooms were closed in our loop. We were in a self-contained RV but as a tent camper, you may want to consider this in your site selection.

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.
