About Tetilla Peak

Tetilla Peak Recreation Area is located in Sandoval County, New Mexico, within the boundaries of the Pueblo de Cochiti Indian Reservation. The lake offers two public recreation areas: Cochiti on the west side of the lake and Tetilla Peak on the east side. Both sides offer spectacular scenic views of the water and surrounding mountains. The Cochiti Dam is one of the ten largest earth-fill dams in the United States, and also one of the largest in the world. The lake derives its name from the Indian Pueblo on the Cochiti Reservation.

Campground has an open layout with just a few small trees but overall pleasant. There were only a very few other campers there during our stay in late July so the close sites were not a problem for us. A very quite area several miles from other activity though still relatively close to Santa Fe for day trips. The booking site and descriptions say there are showers available but the showers look like they had been closed for some time and the maintenance man did not know when they would be opened again. Otherwise the restrooms were very clean and well maintained. No showers were a big disappointment as that is the primary reason we chose this campground.

The family and I really enjoyed this spot. Easy access to swimming and boat launch. The road didn't seem as bad as others who posted made it out to be or they've done some repairs. Nice views and quite. We will be going again.

Check in was easy, friendly and helpful camp host. The park is well kept and the bathrooms were clean. We enjoyed our stay and if in the area again would make a point to revisit.

Only stayed from late night until early morning when another arrangement fell through. Beautiful to wake up there. Didn't get to explore but would another time.

This was a wonderful little campground. The views are exceptional and it was so wonderfully quiet out there, which is one of the things I love. The only downside at all was there were lots of goat head stickers but that’s the only problem. Showers were decent and lots of hot water and all together a great experience.
