Very nice quiet campground. Great view. Pet owners should be aware of goat heads when walking their pets! We liked it very much!

Cochiti lake has spectacular views, nice hiking. Access to the lake, and clean Shower house.

Great location for day-trip proximity to National Parks and Monuments.
@PennyV5837193 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #15
Juniper loop site #15 pull through. Very level with water across the road. We filled before we set up. Nice park for walking and Mountain Views were great. About 30 minutes to Santa Fe.
@BruceC8051679 · Camped on Mar 31, 2025 at Campsite #62
This campground feels very remote. Quiet; no road noise at all. Loved the rolling terrain. Beautiful sunrise/sunset. Reasonable amount of trails for a lake-themed campground. Stayed in the Buffalo loop. The showerheads could use some attention, as they only provided a mist, not really a shower. But would definitely come back here. Tent Rocks NM is within 2 miles, but be sure to book your access reservation way in advance. We stayed for two weeks, but could not get into Tent Rocks.

We had an amazing hike at nearby Kasha-Katuwee Tent Rocks and enjoyed kayaking on the no-wake lake. Beautiful location and campsite. Level pad and covered picnic shelter were great. Bathrooms were a bit overused by the day boaters, as the bathrooms in the boat launching area were closed with instructions to go to the campground. Other than the bathrooms being a bit run down, we had a very positive experience and would come back again.

Beautiful shower/bathroom units on lovely Juniper loop were unfortunately locked up after the 2nd day of our 7 day stay. No idea why. Trash bins were conveniently located. It is a beautiful, quiet peaceful place, but had expected access to running water closer to our camp loop.

Quiet campground with large spaces and views of the lake

@SheilaM8334852 · Camped on Mar 13, 2025 at Campsite #63
Great campground! Nice sites and views.
@TracyK3596958 · Camped on Mar 12, 2025 at Campsite #54
Beautiful location. Did not have shade as the website stated, with the exception of a covered picnic table. Water pressure was strong and had a good taste. The site was not level but because it was asphalt, it was stable.
@MarkR9967928 · Camped on Mar 6, 2025 at Campsite #66
We were so very pleased with our stay here. They didn't have their full staff yet because they had opened early but the staff we interacted with were super nice. Highly recommended
@SherriB28374D5 · Camped on Mar 6, 2025 at Campsite #51
The weather was windy, rainy, then snowy, on our first 2 days, the weather became beautiful and sunny, lake is stunning
@DieterM30D8258 · Camped on Nov 28, 2024 at Campsite #66

@RobertR8191303 · Camped on Nov 11, 2024 at Campsite #73

@LincolnEDA8748 · Camped on Nov 8, 2024 at Campsite #52
Nice open skies
@AlexS6004061 · Camped on Nov 8, 2024 at Campsite #66
Trip was cancelled due to weather and power outages.
@TomJ6621357560 · Camped on Nov 6, 2024 at Campsite #62
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.
@StephenE775892 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #62
Great campground. Spacious sites, amazing view, well-maintained, with friendly staff & volunteers. Sites with electricity were booked well in advance.
@NancyN1030728 · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #60
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

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!!!
