The facility is clean, offers bathrooms with showers, picnic tables, grills. Choice of water/electric or just elect and price is so very reasonable. Great views, very quiet.

Great campground. Spacious sites, amazing view, well-maintained, with friendly staff & volunteers. Sites with electricity were booked well in advance.

What a great campground. There is not a bad site in this place.
@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Oct 18, 2024 at Campsite #15
Late fall before the campground closes is ideal. No crowds and perfect weather
@JackM3712712 · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #49
Very clean and nice campground that has beautiful views of mountains and reservoir. Felt very safe and campground was regularly patrolled by park rangers. Enjoyed our stay there and would return if in area.

Quiet, clean, great views

Its a beautiful campground but there is no Camphost or volunteer on site. Anyone can come into the campground at any time of the day. The guy next to us never had his dog on a leash and it was popping everywhere and he never picked it up, he also let his two cat run loose.

We were in Juni campground and the bathroom was VERY old and needed a lot of work. The other bathrooms had run out of TP one day and should be maintained more often. In general the campground is very nice and a wonderful quiet place to camp and enjoy the water.

Great campground
@TammyB8618652 · Camped on Oct 9, 2024 at Campsite #32
Was a beautiful campground. Very clean. Nice campground workers. We had a great time. Loved walking the dogs around the lake. Close to both Santa Fe and Albuquerque which we was there for the ballon fiesta

Night sky was beautiful!Rates were reasonable.Location was great. Sites were spaced out well.
@SylviaFD3C95B8 · Camped on Oct 7, 2024 at Campsite #50
The moment I arrived at this campground, I felt a sense of relief. It was a very wonderful experience to say the least. I felt safe here. The bathrooms and showers were very clean. The reserved space was very spacious and free from excessive debris, which allowed me to set up my tent very comfortably. The lean to structure provided ample space to set up my cooking gear, which I couldnt use because I wasnt successful lighting up my stove or the grill. Needless to say I would return to this lovely campground in a heartbeat.
@BillH7338117 · Camped on Oct 6, 2024 at Campsite #47
Great campsite! Tent site gravel and soft. Covered concrete table. Shower was okay and free. Luke warm and shower head bad. I'll be back! Great value!
@christina40933 · Camped on Oct 6, 2024 at Campsite #74
Love the views, nice space for camping, everyone respected noise hours
@CindyH1403151 · Camped on Oct 1, 2024 at Campsite #70
Very nice sites, quiet and private. Bathrooms are what you would expect for a state rec area, adequate and relatively clean. Very few people in our section when we were there. We stayed in Ringtail Cat.
@LauraT9858616 · Camped on Sep 29, 2024 at Campsite #62
Bathrooms were in poor condition, toilet stall door broken. One shower had a curtain but did not have a wall mounted shower head, the other shower had no curtain.
@RonD3009778 · Camped on Sep 18, 2024 at Campsite #67
GREAT CAMPING GROUND, CLEAN, SAFE, AND VIEWS OF THE LAKE IN MOST. THEY HAVE ELEC. SITES AND NON.WE GO 2 OR 3 TIMES A YEAR.
@RayR3672529 · Camped on Sep 16, 2024 at Campsite #55
Always a great time here. Beautiful view of the lake. Nice and clean camp area.
@RubenGF8CFD851 · Camped on Sep 14, 2024 at Campsite #58
Excellent, level site. Peaceful, relaxing environment. Will return in the future.
@CandisH9803547 · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #73
Wonderfully quite location. I have camped there many times.
@EllenA6BCEE42B · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #63
Camp is very nice with pretty views. Great place for quiet weekend. Not much to do anywhere near but golf tho.
@EvelynCCD29FC2 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #72
I LOVE Cochiti Lake!I had the most relaxing and peaceful time with the BEST views. The bathrooms were clean, camping spot for RV immaculate, offering 5/6 water stations to fill up, and not too far off (on the right side exiting camp, across from Ringtail Cat Loop) is the dump station and FREE. For $12 a night, it is worth every penny and then some.To Note: If you plan on going paddle boarding or kayaking (any water sports), it might behoove you to have an additional vehicle, as it is not in walking distance to carry/transport them. You will not regret staying here!
@RaulA008837710 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #23
Very nice camp sites.
@KeithC8792158 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #61
Disappointed. Have stayed here many time but this visit the bathrooms/ showers at Buffalo were very dirty, no toilet paper, paper towels or soap. One bathroom at boat dock closed other one dirty. When leaving found the dump station very full and unable to dump. Tried the upper station and it was locked. For it being a long holiday weekend expected things to be in better condition.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
