We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Cochiti Lake campground. Our space was large, had power and water and a covered picnic table. The camp spaces were far apart affording everyone some privacy. The restrooms were clean and included showers.
The one thing that was a little annoying was a person mowing grass near our site. With the breeze, the dust came right into our campsite.

We love this campground. This was our first time here. We stayed on site #5 in the Pedernal Loop. We had 3 nice pine trees on the west side of our motorhome, which helped with the hot sun on our RV. Each site in this loop has elec. and water hookups. They also have a small shelter with picnic table, fire ring (NO campfires allowed anywhere in NM right now due to wildfire risk)! There is a dump station in the park. We stayed 4 nights. (mid-week) There were others spots open, but they were starting to fill up by Friday. I was disappointed in the women's shower house. Only 2 showers and one was out of order. Only one sink in a small space. Bathroom needs updating a bit. Husband said his was very clean and looked like it had been updated. (two working showers in mens) We fished two mornings while there and I caught a 14" Walleye. 😁 Abiquiu Lake is a nice size and a fun recreation lake. Speed boats, fishing boats, kayakers and canoers. There is a new playground for kids. Also, if you like photographing scenery, take a ride going North on Hwy 84. It is gorgeous!

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.

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.

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.
