Perched on a peak above Cochiti Lake, this Army Corps of Engineers campground offers elevated camping with views extending across the Rio Grande valley. Most sites feature covered picnic areas and overlook either the lake or river below, with a mix of gravel and dirt surfaces throughout the facility.

The campground provides electric and water hookups for RVs, plus standard amenities including restrooms, showers, and a dump station. Sites accommodate both drive-in and walk-in camping, with reservations available for planning ahead. Bathroom facilities lack interior lighting during daytime hours, remaining dark until evening. Campers can access fishing and water activities directly from the lake, while hiking and biking trails extend into the surrounding terrain. For broader regional options, places to camp around Cochiti Lake include several other Corps-managed facilities along the reservoir.

Tetilla Peak campground

This campground has mix of gravel dirt on awesome peak overlooking Cochiti Lake! Most of the campsites have shelter ( a cover) and a picnic table. Will note that the bathroom/showers have no light until sundown, and it remains dark in there during the day.

I love beautiful views!

Most of the sites on the outside overlook the Rio Grande or the Cochiti Lake. The views are amazing! Bathrooms and showers are available.
