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.

Summary
AI generated
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 However, there are notable concerns regarding the outdated and poorly maintained bathhouses, as well as issues with road conditions and a lack of on-site management.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.
We live only 30 minutes away, but enjoy going over for a few days just to get out of the house for a while. We have camped there for many years. I'm sorry to say that the camp ground and main road in are going to serious disrepair. The road into the camp ground looks like a remnant of WWII. I have been given a reason for the lack of maintenance, and I understand. It would be sad to not be able to use T.P. and enjoy the Cottonwoods and lake any longer.
Thank you, Michael Kluck
I love the campgrounds I think it’s prettier then the other side. I like the lookout a lot. The road going out needs work there are a lot of really bad pot holes in the asphalt. There were four camping spots covered in goat heads. That need to be cleaned up really bad before they overrun other ones. Besides that just really an awesome place.
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.
