Cochiti Lake is great! Very nice campgrounds- many with views of the lake. I stayed in Elk Run - which is a modern campground but with no hookups. My trailer is fully equipped for off-grid camping so that's perfect for me. There was even a water spigot nearby that I could use to fill my fresh water tank. The dump station is conveniently located near the entrance to all of the campgrounds as well. The bathrooms are modern with showers- but the showers are the push button type where you can't control the temperature and could be updated/maintained a bit more. But they get the job done. Each site has a very nice shelter with picnic table. The rangers are very personable and helpful as well - take some time to check out the visitor center to learn about this history and ecology of the area. When I was there, late March, the Ringtail Cat loop was still closed for the season. If you can get a spot in that loop that is, in my opinion, the best area as most of the sites have excellent views overlooking the lake and are a bit more private. Be sure to get out and hike or bike up on the Cochiti Lake dam. There isn't much in town- really just a gas station plaza that has (when I was there) the cheapest gas around as well as some convenience store staples and a pizza/sandwich shop. There is also a very nice and very well equipped laundromat in the same plaza. Santa Fe is an easy 30 minute drive.
