Ringtail cat and Juniper campgrounds should be open long before mid April.Restrooms and Showers at Buffalo Grove campground in desperate need of renovation, only one of two toilets and showers have been in decent working condition. Beautiful Recent built restrooms / showers inaccessible until Mid April, default to understand the reasoning behind later season opening of Juniper campground.New Mexico Residents Should have priority first Choice of Campsites.Otherwise Cochiti Lake is #1 on My list of campground / sites in New Mexico.Thankful to have it close to Home.

Cochiti Lake Campground is a great camping location. It is well maintained, overall. However, check the shower facilities in the restrooms nearest to your site. The ones nearest to us were not working at all.

Camp sites are very clean. The campground is quiet and the views were wonderful!

Decent campground although more frequent restroom / shower cleaning would be in order, most of these facilities are in need of renovation.

Cochiti is typical CoE campground in that it is very well maintained. It also has the benefit of being in a beautiful location and close to Santa Fe. We enjoyed our time there and would certainly consider staying there again.

This is one of our favorite campgrounds! Quiet and very scenic, although no evidence of a campground host. The half price for senior pass holders is a plus!

Restrooms need renovation, and be cleaned more frequently.Use by Unregistered indiduals more closely monitored.Otherwise Cochiti is one of the best Campgrounds in the State.

We thought the camp sites were good. However since there were no Full hookups for RV's, we had to use the Bathroom/ shower facilities. Ever since we started using the ACOS camping facilities, we have been disappointed in the bathroom/shower facilities. They are outdated and inadequate for all patrons using the ACOE's. Someone in that Department needs to request funding to update these facilities. But to be specific as to the campground we stayed at, the men's toilet facilities were not kept clean for the four days we stayed there. No one swept or cleaned the floors, the only thing they did was to replace the toilet paper. We will not go back to this campground in the future to camp.

Whoever designed this facility should be in charge of designing every campground everywhere! Very easy to access, concrete level sites, sheltered, picnic areas, a boat launch, and swimming beach just down the road a piece, electric and nine electric seats available, central water, dump station, free hot showers, and flush toilets. Even being very shorthanded with staff, they are keeping the place in impeccable condition!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@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!!!
