Using Speedtest by Ookla app, AT&T coverage was 1.28 down/ 0.24 up. T-Mobile coverage was 8.96 down/ 0.17 up. As for work, I was hotspotting off my phones. I was able to join MS Teams calls. I don’t know why but AT&T coverage was better in the morning and T-Mobile in the afternoon.

We stayed at Cochiti while visiting Santa Fe. It’s a very large, clean campground - as most ACOE are. We stayed on the Buffalo loop with a nice view over the lake. I did not realize how far from town it is. Plan accordingly. While we were there many of the monuments and visit spots were still closed due to COVID which was a surprise to us. The tribes are being extremely careful and have close much of the reservation off. Be sure to check if you plan to visit. One thing I would mention is that the water, though potable, isn’t the best. Bring drinking water.

Very clean place. Level sites. We got in late at night and left in the morning so didn’t get to see much of what’s here, but had a pleasant sleep!

Starlink works ok at site 61-official Starlink website has this as a ‘future service site’. Download was normally enough to stream, but upload often lacking. Verizon was strong T-Mobile was a non-event at my site
Did not use facilities. Walked into some of the older loops-and those facilities could use a complete makeover
A few dump stations here. Newer ones have a serious lip, so using a honey-cart could put your back out
Overall. Loved the campground. Great staff. Nice walks Always a breeze during the day, low relative humidity- so comfortable

Loved the views. Good unobstructed views for our starlink as well. They are rebuilding some of the restrooms/showers. We used the one at the start of the campground near the campground host space. Very clean and updated. We were in the juniper loop, space 27. The restroom up here is not working. Also there are no covers over the picnic table area in this loop. Careful when you choose a space that you have the water and electric hookups you need. I had to edit mine a couple times. Oops! Otherwise we liked our visit. The little village Peña Blanca has a laundromat that is very convenient. The super Walmart on Herrera dr. In Santa Fe Is really nice. Has everything we wanted. We would come back here again without hesitation.

Women’s shower not a 5 star. Curtain torn and a little grungy. Push button showers not great but ok. Everything else was super. Site 51. Might be the best site in the camp overlooking the lake. Used mostly as a base camp to explore Santa Fe area. But a super nice campground with great views.

Didn’t get to explore much as it was cool and rainy. Don’t think there’s really any hiking trails or much to do. Potential for fishing and lake access during warmer weather?
**Important to note that while the cell service appears strong, we had issues connecting and accessing anything data related. My wife and I both planned to work remotely from this location with AT&T hotspots for the day but wee totally unable to get good service. Had to drive into Santa Fe and work from a coffee shop instead

This was an unexpectedly nice stop on our adventures. It has easy access from 25 and some pretty big and level RV sites with little pebble tent/chair sites adjoining and casitas with picnic tables and a grill. We stayed in Ringtail Cat Loop, without power, but a water spigot was right next to our site. We had a great lake view and privacy from our neighbors. The office was closed, so pick a spot then drop off the permit envelope within an hour. The showers were a bit overkill with spray pressure and could have been warmer, but did the job. Bathrooms were clean. There was a laundromat just down the road that was large, extremely clean, and very reasonably priced. We went to Santa Fe (40 minute drive) multiple times and our belongings were untouched. There were some closures still, such as Tent Rocks NM and Done Road, but a great inexpensive stop at a nice NM state park. We would definitely recommend and return.
