Cochiti is my go to place when I’m camping in the Albuquerque/ Santa Fe area. It’s fairly well maintained and the lake is pretty awesome.
A peaceful and beautiful lake! Didn't catch any fish but it was still fun! The day use area is closed until further notice due to construction starting soon so we reserved a spot in the camp ground to hang out and use the grill most of the bathrooms were locked too I noticed
Amazing experience for two nights with our campervan - we stayed in Elk Run one night and then moved closer to the lake in Ringtail Cat loop the second night. Such kind and helpful park attendants, beautiful views, and a steal for the price. Free showers included and clean restrooms! We will be back!
Great spaces that are levelish. Wonderful views and the picnic space is top notch, we have never had such a luxurious picnic area. Full hookups, no sewer and primitive camp areas to choose from. The showers have long benches and lots of hooks for all your stuff with room for towels. One of the best shower setups we have seen. We stayed 6 nights enjoying all the area had to offer with Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Pecos National Historical Park, Bandolier National Monument and lots of mission churches to visit.
Hated it! Blocked roads all over the campground. I went to town for food, came back and we were locked out of the campground. The day use area has a sign that said "Closes at 7pm. But they closed the gates at 4:30. I don't know what club you have to be in to camp at this place. Obviously we're not in it.
