One of the nicest campsites we have used Very clean facility. Good parking pad and covered picnic table. Plenty of space between sites.

@Elizabeth31927 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #57
This is a beautiful and well maintained site. The views are great and the facilities are always clean. All of the areas are paved and provided easy access in and out. I always look forward to my visits.

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 They are outdated and inadequate for all patrons using the ACOE's. Someone in that Department needs to request funding to update these facilities.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.

Very nice place. Kind of tight backing into my site 60 with 39 5th wheel. But that was all. Great views!!!

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!

Best campground in New Mexico
@Frederick7BEFC · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #2
This was our first time renting an RV and camping. We had no issues with the campground and enjoyed our stay at Cochiti Lake.
@GeorgeB9630400 · Camped on Oct 7, 2025 at Campsite #15
Perfect, wish we wouldve had time to enjoy the lake. It was just a stop over on our way to Florida.
@SusannahDC060C · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #77
Decent sites. Not too close together.
@RobertP6375002 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #73

@AndrewS4701634 · Camped on Sep 30, 2025 at Campsite #80
Very nice campground. Wide level and long. Water is convenient, we stayed in Ringtail cat loop. Very nice to have showers and flush toilets.
@MichaelR189137 · Camped on Sep 29, 2025 at Campsite #21
Large very well maintained area. Restrooms and showers plentiful and again well maintained. Close to many great places to visit. Sante Fe, Los Alamos, Bandelier National park,Madrid.

Beautiful location.
@NancyB3949689 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #54
Nice clean camp spot with rain/shade cover over the picnic table. My tent fit perfectly on the tent pad and I was able to park right next to my spot. Bathrooms were clean and shower water was hot.
@PeterH7075759 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #12
Paved sites. Quiet. TWO dump sites
@BarbaraB381397 · Camped on Sep 24, 2025 at Campsite #7
Clean safe more shade lol
@DonaldD9914764 · Camped on Sep 22, 2025 at Campsite #66
General maintenance and cleanliness.
@RafaelSE0A84E2 · Camped on Sep 22, 2025 at Campsite #78
It is a well-maintained place. It does have hot water and showers. The area for the tent is also well prepared ( it has fine stone which is very comfortable. September is probably the best time of the year to visit. But April and May could be pleasant too.
@AntonioVFE9029 · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #20
The new campgrounds are nice. That being said we had to stay in the old area and it had so many tumble weeds that we couldn't even walk around our campsite or even use the uncovered table. Weeds were two feet high. Our pets had walk on road so the wouldn't get full of stickers. I would not book this place unless you're in the newer sites. Very sad for my first time. We enjoyed our boat at the lake though.
@MattF1509261 · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #31
Nice campgrounds by a lake fed by the Rio Grande. Theres a few hiking trails and you can walk or ride a bike across the dam 5 miles and see the Rio Grande and Santa Fe rivers and some beautiful views. 30 minutes from Santa Fe.
@TinaP2234928 · Camped on Sep 17, 2025 at Campsite #45
Beautiful campground! Spacious. Good bathrooms as well
@PatriciaI4ADF5 · Camped on Sep 16, 2025 at Campsite #73
Do your research ahead of time. There is no Camp Host presence to answer any questions, or help with annual passes, or answer any onsite questions. The bathrooms suffer from a lack of attention, but there always seems to be toilet paper and paper towels :) ... and someone regularly walks the grounds picking up after others. Thank you for that. Otherwise, the surrounding areas offer some beautiful daytime vistas and dark night skies.
@VivianS5627075 · Camped on Sep 16, 2025 at Campsite #56
We could only stay for 1 night, but we will be back! We liked the cleanliness, the level camp spot, the view and it was easy to get in and out. We have a 38 ft Super C with toad.
@ThomasM5317C15 · Camped on Sep 14, 2025 at Campsite #34
The best sights are hard to get and the others are a bit run down. View was spectacular and the price was great. Bathrooms were clean and walking area was nice.

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.

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!!!
