Cochiti Lake COE Park, Cochiti NM

Stay Date:  May 2014
Our Rating:  Bad – 4
Cochiti Lake 3We were looking forward to this park; it had high ratings, looked scenic, and had a great price for 50A and water.  On arrival though, we were disappointed by our site.  Although a long back in with parking area and sheltered patio/table, the site looked like a ski-ball ramp. Cochiti Lake1 Sloping downward and towards the driver’s side, it was impossible to get close to being level, even using blocks.  Everything was covered with pea gravel, including the patio and table, and there was trash stuck in the weeds around the site.  We also found that being high above the lake meant incessant winds.  Cochiti Lake2On the plus side, the scenery was wonderful and it was quiet and dark at night.  Verizon cell/data worked well even though we were 15 miles off the main road.  We decided to leave early, and told the host couple, who acted like we were bothering them.  So we left early, disappointed in our experience.  Since you have to reserve the site on line it’s difficult to determine if your site is level, and there are a few that were.  Rate with Golden Access pass was $10/night.
