Great campground. Close to Santa Fe. Great views. Very quiet! Bathrooms could use some work though. Will go there again.

We had been on the road for a while and pull-through access was welcome after a long day. Additionally, we took advantage of a great laundramat nearby. We also enjoyed easy access to Santa Fe. Campsites are well spaced and other campers were respectful and quiet. We will be back.

Cochiti campground is one of our favorite places to go alone or with our camping group! It's peaceful, clean, and close to Albuquerque. Hats off to Ben and his team for a first rate camping experience!

We stayed in site 49 for two nights. Great site overlooking the lake. Non electric loop, covered picnic table. Shower/bathhouse was close by and clean. Never saw any gate attendant or campground host. Campground was quiet overnight. Perfect location for star gazing! ~30 minute drive to Santa Fe. Would definitely stay again

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.
