Tetilla Peak Campground offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a great spot for those seeking tranquility in nature. Many visitors appreciated the spacious and well-maintained campsites, as well as the good water supply. However, there are notable concerns regarding the outdated and poorly maintained bathhouses, as well as issues with road conditions and a lack of on-site management. Despite these drawbacks, many campers expressed a willingness to return, valuing the campground's serene environment and affordability.

There was no water for the hook up and no water in the bathrooms. The showers were locked. There was no park ranger at the station and no host at the campground. There were other campers that were ignoring campground rules, the had their dog off leash, they were drinking alcohol, and they played loud music until 2:0 in the morning. We left a day early, not worth staying. You might as well close this campground since it has no services at all.

Really enjoyed my short stay. The campground roads are a wonderful walk with all kinds of birds.

Advertised as having a water hookup. There was indeed a spigot at the site, but it didn’t produce any water. Also, there were signs around stating that the water was non potable. The campground appeared to be neglected as infrastructure was aging and some areas blocked off. Electric did work, but there was only 30 amp. Dump station was okay. Might be nice if you’re into water activities (but not swimming). Road into the campground was rough.

This facility should have a great big yellow alert sign on it for rec.gov as if you look at campsites they say they have electric and water but you have to go into the facility information where it's mentioned in same type letters and font that there is no water at the campground currently but it's my understanding it's been that way for some time.
Out of all the coe Parks I've stayed at from North Carolina to Texas,Arizona, Oklahoma and Ohio,Missouri, Kansas and Kentucky this is by far the worst corps of engineers campground period hands down.

This place has a ton of potential but fell far short of expectations especially with a 4.4 star review out of 400 reviews. When you pull off of NM 16 onto Tetilla Peak Rd. there are huge potholes everywhere. We arrived at Tetilla Peak Campground to find that the water was non-potable, with very little water pressure (the pressure was so low it didn’t push the check valve on the trailer so no water into the trailer), but the bathrooms were open, and you could was your dishes in a tub outside.
There were no employees at the park, recreation.gov answered the phone but couldn’t provide a refund or change reservations in any way. The gave a phone number for the manager of the campground but nobody answered the phone. The first night we saw an employee arrive and we thought they were cleaning the bathrooms but they just locked them and left. On the second day the water went out everywhere and still nobody answered the phone.
The campground has nice covers over the picnic tables, the views at sunrise and sunset were amazing though this place looked like it was abandoned years ago. Until they decide to take some pride in the campground I would stay away from this place. The Cochita campground is on the other side of the lake and looks way nicer I would recommend you go there instead.

To start the road in needs major repairs and the entrance area and then up to the park.
Signage into the park needs to be better.
Not sure why the park closes mid October.

No water was bad enough but then as soon as I pulled into space, entire campground electricity went out & park ranger was very condescending ... And the site was supposed to be for my 40' rig & it was so small that I was forced to pull in on an angle & still sticking out in street ... He said call recreation.gov & when I called recreation.gov they said I'd have to talk to park ranger since their system didn't even say there was an issue ... and of course this happened after park ranger left the location ... NO ONE ONSITE TO TALK TO ! Electricity didn't come back on until next day but was still charged rate of a site with WATER & ELECTRICITY ... Asked for a credit & was denied ... First time at a USACE location & will never go to another one !!!

From Albuquerque, New Mexico, take I-25 north to exit 264. Travel west on State Road 16 to the Tetilla Peak Recreation Area/La Bajada Village turnoff and follow the paved road into the recreation area.
Tetilla Peak is accessible via I-25, with exit 264 leading to State Road 16, which continues to the recreation area.
