Cochiti Lake

We stayed at the campground only one night because of its convenient location to nearby Tent Rocks National Monument. Didn't do too much other than shower and hunker down in the van for a very stormy night. The campground is well maintained and easy to navigate. The ability to take a hot shower was a bonus after 4 days on the road

Easy to find. Beautiful view.

The water stained our white clothes due to its iron content. We forgot to use our filter.

This is a great campground with beautiful views of the lake. This campground provides showers/toilet facilities. I really enjoyed the area, but would recommend some attention to cleaning the grounds.

This has been the best view of all of our travels. The NM mountains are beautiful and this campground gives you a nice chance to just sit and look at them. The campground is beautiful and peaceful. There is a large gravel area outside your paved campsite. There is a covered concrete pad with a very nice picnic table overlooking the mountains. Actually, our campsite had two. I only have two complaints: 1 -- the shower was horrible; it was semi-clean, but the water temperature was lukewarm and the sprayer was a fan of water that couldn't be adjusted (there was no choice as to whether our hair was getting wet or not). My husband wasn't a fan of the men's shower either. 2 -- we were there for three nights, and we never saw anyone on duty. Other than that, this place was great. I would absolutely return. Next time we will have one of those little pull behind tanks that you can dump, and the shower won't be an issue. We also enjoyed the visitor center. There is a nice exhibit about the river that we enjoyed. If you plan to stay at the lake and not drive back down to any of the towns, make sure to bring all of your supplies. We did not see a grocery store nearby.

Beautiful place and beautiful campsites! I think the sites are the nicest I’ve seen in NM! I stayed in the no hookups area overlooking the lake. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the poorly attended condition of the comfort station along with the trash scattered EVERYWHERE near the dumpsters. Including very numerous alcohol containers! No alcohol allowed?? REALLY??
