Good sites, nice campground and great scenery. Camp host and park rangers are useless. Generator going at 10:00pm; loud music all day and starting at 4:30am; dogs running loose; we stayed Thursday thru Sunday and by Sunday the bathrooms were trashed.

Many sites on good pavement. Most have excellent concrete table with nice roof covering. Beautifully maintained facility.

Very nice well maintained campground. The lake was too high to enjoy but the camping was nice, beautiful views. I gave it a 4 because one if the two showers available on Buffalo Grove loop was broken.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Cochiti campground, we enjoyed view overlooking Rio Grande. Our site had nice covered structure over our picnic table patio area. Nice hot showers close by, and our water & electric site hook ups worked great. Convenient area for day trips to Sante fe, Los Alamos and Bandelier. We enjoyed Downtown Los Alamos/ Manhattan Project National Park and Bandelier National park in the same day. We recommend and will return again.

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.
