A forested campground near trout fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.
Tetilla Peak Recreation Area sits on the east side of Cochiti Lake, about halfway between Santa Fe and Albuquerque on the Rio Grande, and lies within the boundaries of the Pueblo de Cochiti Indian Reservation visitors must observe Pueblo regulations and avoid any lands closed to the public. The lake itself is formed by one of the largest earth-fill dams in the country, and the recreation area occupies high-desert foothills of the Jemez Mountains at roughly 5,343 feet elevation.
Length limits vary by campsite.
Some sites have no hookups.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (5,502 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
