Website is not very user friendly. We canceled our reservation and have yet to receive our $10 credit.

We shopped and dined in Santa Fe which is 35 minute drive. After reading reviews we were afraid of using the Juniper loop but if you have water on board and a bathroom, the views were amazing. Site 7, 10 and 15. Those were large enough for our 35’ class A and tow with room to spare. 50 amp. Bathroom is closed but they say plans to tear down and rebuild are in the works. Temperatures were perfect for sitting out in the morning and in the evening. Very nice.

Has a lot of potential. Be nice if someone actually took care of the grounds. Seldom anyone in the entrance booth.

Our site was filled with goat heads, the bathrooms/showers were in disrepair, there were weeds all over. We never saw a camp host or Corps worker in 5 days.
This is opposite of how Cochiti was in 2019, it is very sad to see it going downhill.

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.
