No water, no showers and they locked the bathrooms and recreation.gov was zero help in letting me change campgrounds. Top 5 worst developed campgrounds ever.and I camp alot.

Advertised as having a water hookup. There was indeed a spigot at the site, but it didnt produce any water. Also, there were signs around stating that the water was non potable. The campground appeared to be neglected as infrastructure was aging and some areas blocked off. Electric did work, but there was only 30 amp. Dump station was okay. Might be nice if youre into water activities (but not swimming). Road into the campground was rough.

Really enjoyed my short stay. The campground roads are a wonderful walk with all kinds of birds.
@JosianneF79D21 · Camped on May 24, 2025 at Campsite #15
There was no water for the hook up and no water in the bathrooms. The showers were locked. There was no park ranger at the station and no host at the campground. There were other campers that were ignoring campground rules, the had their dog off leash, they were drinking alcohol, and they played loud music until 2:0 in the morning. We left a day early, not worth staying. You might as well close this campground since it has no services at all.

No water available, restrooms and showers locked.

This facility should have a great big yellow alert sign on it for rec.gov as if you look at campsites they say they have electric and water but you have to go into the facility information where it's mentioned in same type letters and font that there is no water at the campground currently but it's my understanding it's been that way for some time. Out of all the coe Parks I've stayed at from North Carolina to Texas,Arizona, Oklahoma and Ohio,Missouri, Kansas and Kentucky this is by far the worst corps of engineers campground period hands down.

This place has a ton of potential but fell far short of expectations especially with a 4.4 star review out of 400 reviews. When you pull off of NM 16 onto Tetilla Peak Rd. there are huge potholes everywhere. We arrived at Tetilla Peak Campground to find that the water was non-potable, with very little water pressure (the pressure was so low it didnt push the check valve on the trailer so no water into the trailer), but the bathrooms were open, and you could was your dishes in a tub outside. There were no employees at the park, recreation.gov answered the phone but couldnt provide a refund or change reservations in any way. The gave a phone number for the manager of the campground but nobody answered the phone. The first night we saw an employee arrive and we thought they were cleaning the bathrooms but they just locked them and left. On the second day the water went out everywhere and still nobody answered the phone. The campground has nice covers over the picnic tables, the views at sunrise and sunset were amazing though this place looked like it was abandoned years ago. Until they decide to take some pride in the campground I would stay away from this place. The Cochita campground is on the other side of the lake and looks way nicer I would recommend you go there instead.

No water was bad enough but then as soon as I pulled into space, entire campground electricity went out & park ranger was very condescending ... And the site was supposed to be for my 40' rig & it was so small that I was forced to pull in on an angle & still sticking out in street ... He said call recreation.gov & when I called recreation.gov they said I'd have to talk to park ranger since their system didn't even say there was an issue ... and of course this happened after park ranger left the location ... NO ONE ONSITE TO TALK TO ! Electricity didn't come back on until next day but was still charged rate of a site with WATER & ELECTRICITY ... Asked for a credit & was denied ... First time at a USACE location & will never go to another one !!!
@SusanC3925585 · Camped on Oct 6, 2024 at Campsite #3
CONS: dirty restrooms (didn't use, had my camper), no potable water, road into campground had HUGE potholes so drive very slowly/carefullyPROS: camped in October and only a few other people there, very quiet, campsites were very level and fairly well spaced out, only $10 a night for my electric!
@VickieW6ACC7A3 · Camped on Oct 5, 2024 at Campsite #4
To start the road in needs major repairs and the entrance area and then up to the park. Signage into the park needs to be better.Not sure why the park closes mid October.
@AndrewF3500044 · Camped on Oct 4, 2024 at Campsite #48
This review is solely for the campground. The tent loop (Coyo) is all street parking, no driveways. The sites are well spaced and have beautiful views, but most of them are so unmaintained that youd have a tough time finding anywhere to pitch your tent at all. Its worth the extra few bucks to stay in the loop with hookups just to have a good tent pad. The bathrooms are serviceable, but theyre also long since forgotten about. Its beautiful, but I dont think anybody has maintained the grounds in decades. The BIA road coming in is all paved and isnt horrendous, but be very careful as there are some large (avoidable) pot holes that could easily ruin your day. Recommend you come before sunset for this reason.
@Elizabeth38460 · Camped on Oct 2, 2024 at Campsite #31
Beautiful. It's older compared to the sites on the other side of the lake.There is H2O at one pump at the entrance after the dump station. H20 in the toilet house and sinks in the toilet house only. The night sky is amazing. The sites are big but they need a little racking for your own benefit.
@WilliamF458474 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #13
Showed up for reservation to showers being locked and no water at camp site. This was our rest stop and we left a day early. Plus no host.
@MichaelR189137 · Camped on Oct 12, 2022 at Campsite #37
Nice place to camp, not fancy.
@LindaJB8981397 · Camped on Oct 5, 2022 at Campsite #9
This was a wonderful little campground. The views are exceptional and it was so wonderfully quiet out there, which is one of the things I love. The only downside at all was there were lots of goat head stickers but that’s the only problem. Showers were decent and lots of hot water and all together a great experience.
@AmyE3367893 · Camped on Oct 1, 2022 at Campsite #51
Only stayed from late night until early morning when another arrangement fell through. Beautiful to wake up there. Didn't get to explore but would another time.
@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Oct 1, 2022 at Campsite #29
Check in was easy, friendly and helpful camp host. The park is well kept and the bathrooms were clean. We enjoyed our stay and if in the area again would make a point to revisit.
@CarolK7612349 · Camped on Oct 1, 2022 at Campsite #7
We had to groom our site: Pull knee high weeds; cut down small tree from under picnic table so it could be used; mark two very large ant hills in order to avoid them. Very hard for women to shave legs when there's no light in the shower room
@johnc3063297 · Camped on Sep 9, 2022 at Campsite #13
The family and I really enjoyed this spot. Easy access to swimming and boat launch. The road didn't seem as bad as others who posted made it out to be or they've done some repairs. Nice views and quite. We will be going again.
@KristyB5137791 · Camped on Sep 2, 2022 at Campsite #3
It’s a great little campground.
@AaronA6106490 · Camped on Aug 13, 2022 at Campsite #36
Beautiful area, no bugs UNTIL the sun went down. You have been warned. lol
@LarryG4149139 · Camped on Jul 27, 2022 at Campsite #2
Campground has an open layout with just a few small trees but overall pleasant. There were only a very few other campers there during our stay in late July so the close sites were not a problem for us. A very quite area several miles from other activity though still relatively close to Santa Fe for day trips. The booking site and descriptions say there are showers available but the showers look like they had been closed for some time and the maintenance man did not know when they would be opened again. Otherwise the restrooms were very clean and well maintained. No showers were a big disappointment as that is the primary reason we chose this campground.
@johnh172 · Camped on Oct 11, 2019 at Campsite #17
The road to the campground is horrible, other than that it is a clean and quiet .
@rogerb855 · Camped on Oct 5, 2019 at Campsite #4
Beautiful site, very clean.
@LloydD659 · Camped on Oct 4, 2019 at Campsite #26
I love the campgrounds I think it’s prettier then the other side. I like the lookout a lot. The road going out needs work there are a lot of really bad pot holes in the asphalt. There were four camping spots covered in goat heads. That need to be cleaned up really bad before they overrun other ones. Besides that just really an awesome place.

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.
