Great campground with extensive amenities! We paid $12 for tent camping, which came with a grill, shelter and picnic table. They also have pristine bathrooms and showers. You do have to make a reservation in advance. Our site was 74, the views were beautiful and even had views of the tent rocks!

I am astrophotographer in C. Lake. Not the most fun thing to do w/camera, which is why I spend daytime at the lake, run by our illustrious Corps of Eng. The only reason I wont go 5star is because the lake has become less and less accessible over the 22 years ive been here. Back then the town held assembley meetings there each month -- the building's interior has interesting displays about local fauna. They are still polite, but distant, now. The overlook has been closed for months -- we in town hope that, well, they are ok. Maybejust spring cleaning??

Lovely COE campground on Cochiti Lake. Water and electric sites in Buffalo Grove loop. Dry camping in other loops. Big rig friendly. Level sites with nice covered picnic table. Very quiet and peaceful. Close to Tent Rocks, which is fascinating, especially the box canyon hike. 30 min drive to Santa Fe. Cochiti COE is great campground for the price, especially if you have the senior pass. Water & electric sites for $20 ($10 with senior pass).

We camp here every year. We stay in the non- electricity area, Ringtail Cat Loop. It's usually quiet when we are here, and there's some nice hiking trails.

This is the nicest campsite I have ever had the pleasure of staying. The architecture is beautiful, landscape serene, and the range leading was so friendly and helpful. I recommend this place for anyone. Dog friendly, wag bags provided, nice warm shower, swimming area, check out the scenic overlook or the picnic areas! So much to enjoy for such a small cost. Very safe!
