Cochiti Lake Campground Ringtail Loop provides a beautiful and peaceful outlook in every direction. The facility is very well maintained and attended to. We enjoyed our brief stay there very much.

This was a beautiful campground. We needed a longer hose for our water hook-up but the website warned us and we were prepared. The park is beautiful as well.

We love this campground and have gone at least 3 times per year for the past 10 years (except for the Covid closure). Ringtail Loop has some of the best views in the park, but is usually mostly empty because there are no electrical hookups. You could easily charge $30 per night (an extra $22 per night), there is already electricity in the bathhouse, and the payback for this improvement would only be a few years. Ringtail Loop could easily be the most popular part of the park, and it would be nice not to have all the noise from the generators.

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.
