For starters the RV park was under construction! Nothing about this huge make over on the website!! The spaces were really narrow. The soil outside your front door was a mixture of gravel,rocks,clay & dirt. Trash was seen stuck in the trees and bushes. The camp host was off duty for the 3 days we were there. (Sun-Tue). The playground was closed and this was a bummer because we had our 3 year old granddaughter with us. The lower larger primitive sites were closed with out reason (locked gates). On a positive note--the sites were fairly level well marked & I did see a local law enforcement officer in a marked police unit make a round through the park. The dam site road was closed. A loud alarm at the project building went off at night for about 1/2 hour or so maybe longer I never observed any one respond to the building that was very well lit up. There is a store about 3 mins away that has everything you would need to get by. It looks like the place is going to be very nice once it is complete. The no wake lake is boring. Let the jet skis and motor boats in. More large family parking areas would be nice. Not everyone travels alone. I believe this lake is directed toward sail boats. but..........I did not see not a one on the lake hmmmmmmmmmm. Oh yeah, the park was very empty that was cool because it was just us and a couple of others. These are just my observations & opinions on this particular trip. I am sure some one will disagree w/ me. thats cool to, its America speak out......live laugh & love. By the way,,,,will be back to see the new changes. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is pleasing campground located on a large COE reservoir between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. The RV sites are in "A Loop" on high ground overlooking the lake and the surrounding area but only a few sites have good lake views. Most are back-ins but there are some pull-throughs parallel with the road. Sites on the inside of the loop have water and electric hookups. Sites on the outside have electric only. There is a central dump station and a cinder block restroom/shower building. The restrooms and showers looked clean but were marred by peeling paint. Some of the sites are on a reservation system and others are first come, first served. Nearby recreation includes two pueblos and the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument. We enjoyed our stay and will go there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved the location, but the campground has some flaws. The restrooms are old, and they show it - they need work, new fixtures, and fresh paint. More showers, and some *hot water* would be nice. Next, the outer ring of pull through sites don't have water. Luckily a back-in site became available and we relocated to it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an Army Corps Of Engineers Campground. Cholla Campground (aka Loop A) is comprised of nine acres. Facilities in this campground include 34 individual campsites, each with an electric hook-up, a concrete table, and a grill. Twenty two sites have shelters. Water spigots are located throughout the campground. The entrance road is paved. This campground has one sanitary dump station and large water borne restroom/shower building. That said, the campsites are missed marked with the reservation system. Site numbered stakes that have an R on them are designated as a reservation campsite. We pulled into a site without an R on the stake and found that it was on the reservation system. Very confusing mess. Some sites we found with an R were first come first serve sites. Hopefully they will get this mess straightened out. Nice sites, water at each site with the exception of site # 20. Tetillia Peak Recreation Area is on the west side of Cochiti Lake and less crowed. The reservation system information says Tetillia Peak Cholla CG has 50 amp service. It does NOT, it does have 20/30 amp. On the east side of the lake is Cotchiti Recreation Area and they have 50 Amp service. Some sites overlook the lake and valley. We enjoyed our stay and would go back. FYI. Next to Cholla Campground is Coyote Campground (aka Loop B): A partially paved road extends throughout this area. There are 10 camping spaces, each with a table and grill. There are no electric hook-ups. Water spigots are scattered throughout the loop. The restroom/shower building is centrally located for easy access. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had reservations for 5 nights and only stayed 2. When we decided to leave there wasn't anyone around to let know we were vacating our site. We parked on an outside pull through and discovered it didn't have hookups so had to move to a site with less view. No view of the lake. Far view of the mountains. Very windy with no vegetation of any kind to break the wind. We would definitely not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

$12 for electric sites and $8 without, half price for golden age pass. Water hookups are pretty far away, we filled tank and used that, need a minimum of 50', 100' is better. Not all sites have electric. A very nice Corps of Engineers Park, big roomy sites with plenty of room between them. We camped here in a Motorhome.
