Really nice KOA with spacious sites. Very clean and well maintained. The only problem which may not be there fault, might be just New Mexico, sands spurs everywhere, locals call them goat heads. Dogs can’t stand them. Would definitely stay here again

This KOA had nice level, wide spots and wide roads so it was really easy to park. The staff was helpful and accomodating. We ended up extending our stay one day on both ends because of a storm and had no trouble doing so. (It helped that the park was only half full).

We ended up extending our stay one day on both ends because of a storm and had no trouble doing so. (It helped that the park was only half full). They provided a helpful sheet of hints to get through the freezing weather without damaging our RV. The showers were great - good pressure, and the bathrooms were clean. We were able to refill our propane twice while there. It was nice that they had propane on site because there is nothing near them. We had to drive 25 min to the nearest grocery store (to any business actually) Carlsbad caverns are about an hour away. I had only 1 bar for AT&T, but my husband said Verizon was better.

Sewage treatment plant a half mile from the KOA. Smelled bad at night each night. Average KOA. Seems more like a Journey than a Holiday KOA.Really quiet. Staff was nice.

Staff was nice. So, that was good.Clean campground.Wifi is not useful, even for a KOA. Understandable considering location. Just worth noting. Hotspots have strong signals so all good for work.Site is really spacious with fire pit. But, not all that nice. Gravel sites with an average living area.Lots of space behind and between spots. So, that is nice.Nearest place to get food, groceries, and gas is downtown Carlsbad. So, 18 miles away, I believe.Lots of dogs off leash in the long-term resident area and the staff didn't seem to care. That might mean different things to different folks, I think.

The distance from Carlsbad worked to our advantage since we used this campground as our base for visits to Roswell and Ruidoso in addition to the cave. The sites were well spaced.

The sites were well spaced. We were next to a group site which was unoccupied for the last half of our stay.The staff was friendly and efficient. Given the proximity to the playground the campground was very quiet. We had a great stay there in spite of temperatures hitting 108 with wind and dust. We plan on returning.

It didn't look so far out on the map, but it is quite a bit outside of Carlsbad proper and the cave. That was the only real minus, but that wasn't even that bad. WIDE spacious paths and sites. You could get any size RV in this place. My little 20 footer could have parked in any direction in our pull through spot!

Lovely fish pond near the bathrooms. Shower didn't get super hot for me in the afternoon but my daughter had no problems that night. Excellent stopover.

This is a KOA. It's pretty much what we expected. The facilities were clean. There was a great laundry which was the main reason we stopped here. There were some shade trees around most of the sites.

The facilities were clean. There was a great laundry which was the main reason we stopped here. There were some shade trees around most of the sites. The sites and roads were gravel and with the high winds the campground was quite dusty. The campground is about 50 minutes from the Carlsbad Caverns so a bit of a hike, but there weren't too many choices closer. It's also about 20 minutes from Carlsbad if you need groceries or other supplies. The campground is located in a flat unremarkable part of the desert. There was very little view.A couple of evenings one camper was playing tunes which we could hear easily while sitting outside. We called the staff who promised to look in to it, but nothing seemed to change.

We stayed here 3/29 - 4/1/21. Nice spacious pull through sites with full hookups. Very windy, so keep an eye on those awnings, folks. 1st full day there there was a bad grass fire between the park & Lake Brantley. Fortunately the winds were in our favor and the park didn't get smoked out. Very clean and well kept.

Friendly staff. Full hookups. Pull through. Did not use washrooms.Unfortunately, they gave us a site next to the playground so lots of enthusiastic, noisy youngsters. Nice dog park

The staff was wonderful. We had a pull thru with 36ft motorhome and towing. Our site was right by the bathrooms which was wonderful because are newbies and since it got down below freezing at night we didn't want to connect to any water.

Our site was right by the bathrooms which was wonderful because are newbies and since it got down below freezing at night we didn't want to connect to any water. Couldn't hear any noise from the highway at all, and the Wifi was spotty. We went to visit Carlsbad Caverns which were incredible to say the least, it told us about 50 min. We decided to get there early since it was a weekend, we arrived just before they opened at 8am and there was already a line. Took the natural opening way, which you walk down 750 ft (really neat), took about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Enjoyed out stay would stay there again.

This camp ground is a great KOA. The staff/hosts do an excellent job making their campground shine. The cons:The campground is fairly far from the “local attractions”.

The staff/hosts do an excellent job making their campground shine. The cons:The campground is fairly far from the “local attractions”. (This issue is a con for most but others will love it). The bathrooms are not kept stocked and since I never saw the empty toilet paper rolls replace, I’m assuming they check it on some weekly basis. The pros:The majority of the staff is very friendly. The campground itself seems to be maintained fiery nicely. The campground is far enough off the road that the highway noise is minimal. In general, I would be happy to recommend this one to anyone passing through.

This is everything you expect from a KOA, which has its place, but the location was on a busy road in an industrial area. The sites were great, the shop and staff were helpful but it is a trek to get to anywhere from the location.

This is definitely the best option in the area if you need full hookups. It's a little out there - 20 mins to the nearest grocery store, an hour to Carlsbad Caverns, an hour to Roswell - and it's right off a busy highway.

It's a little out there - 20 mins to the nearest grocery store, an hour to Carlsbad Caverns, an hour to Roswell - and it's right off a busy highway. Not the prettiest place in the world but it was a good home base for visiting the caverns and Roswell. It was exactly what you'd expect from a KOA. Big, level sites, easy access, and friendly staff. We went in early February and the place was mostly empty. Important: the water here is very hard and is really off tasting. We use an external dual filter and a brita for our drinking water, and it was still undrinkable. We ended up buying jugs of water to use. Our tank sensors stopped working and only read as full, which started the first day we got there (we're assuming that the mineral buildup caused this). Even after traveling with solution in the tanks, our sensors are still not working one week later. This is the first and only time this has happened. If you stay here, use water softener!! And bring separate drinking water.

Stayed here in September 2019 for two nights. The spaces are large and there is plenty of room for a big unit (in our case, a 44 foot Prevost) and the people are friendly. However, it appears that only the toilets, sinks and mirrors are being cleaned regularly. The showers and floors definitely are not.

The spaces are large and there is plenty of room for a big unit (in our case, a 44 foot Prevost) and the people are friendly. However, it appears that only the toilets, sinks and mirrors are being cleaned regularly. The showers and floors definitely are not. There was a LOT of hair on the floor of the women's restroom and the shower floors had not been thoroughly cleaned in some time. Also, be aware that it will take you nearly an hour to get from this KOA to Carlsbad Caverns.

It's not exactly close, being 18 miles from Carlsbad and another 30-odd miles to the park. The campsite is large and the gravel sites are level, pull through and spaced well apart, which was nice. We visited in April 2019, and due to the oil/gas boom in the Permian Basin nearby, many of the campsites appeared more permanently occupied by oilfield workers and their families. This KOA is located along the now busy Hwy 285, so there is some traffic noise. The location is flat and exposed and therefore very windy/dusty. Camp staff were friendly and welcoming and we did opt for their on-site BBQ one night which was very good. However the tap water, despite multiple filtrations, tasted pretty bad, so don't rely on your in-line filter. Campground Wi-Fi better than most. Check out Milton's Brewing in Carlsbad for friendly locals and good beer.

Great place to camp if you don't mind being a little far from some of the locations. It's out there a ways. They even sell there own BBQ here while I didn't try it, it smelled great! They also had a military discount.

Very nice park. Was quiet. We had a covered sitting area and fire pit. Best part is the BBQ they make and deliver to your rig. Scrumptious. Definitely recommend this park.

Easy access of the main highway, easy check-in with reservations and then we were guided to our site. RV sites and roads are wide making it very easy to maneuver. RV sites are very long and wide. The only negative to mention- this is typical of many RV Parks in the area- is the dust. The entire site is gravel/limestone. After asking, locals let us know that Spring time is known for the windy days. 15-25 mph is not unusual, 50 mph or higher is possible. Windy days make it almost impossible to be outside. Plan on cooking indoors.There are many amenities at this location; typical of a KOA park: pool, bikes, gift shop, large covered outdoor area, etc. We liked this location as we were centrally located between Carlsbad and Roswell.

We really enjoyed our experience at the Carlsbad KOA. There were lots of activities on site including life size checkers, tetherball, basketball, a playground, and well maintained pool. Inside was a large game room with foosball, ping pong, life size Connect 4, a television, and Wii.

There were lots of activities on site including life size checkers, tetherball, basketball, a playground, and well maintained pool. Inside was a large game room with foosball, ping pong, life size Connect 4, a television, and Wii. There was a small cafe on property that would deliver dinner to your campsite. The on-site store had a selection of camping essentials, some food items, souvenirs, as well as local artwork. The essentials were priced higher than outside stores (as expected for most campgrounds). The staff provided a map and travel tips to local attractions. Price included cable and WiFi (coverage and speed was better than most campgrounds). Our price reflected a 10% KOA discount. Sites were gravel, but level and pull through.

The office staff was great and so was the laundry area. The real drawback is the distance to the caverns. It was at least 45 minutes to get to the visitor center. However, the caverns are not to be missed - amazing place!

Great park just 45 minutes north of caverns. In my opinion by far the best park around. Employees very nice and helpful and are ready to help you into your spot.

Sites are gravel and level with lots of room in between. Nice divided dog park with benches. Bathrooms very nice and laundry is by far the best we’ve seen. We have been living full time in just under a year and have stayed in many parks all over country and this is great. Nice pool area, Horse shoe area is very nice. They have a good store with souvenirs, food and camping supplies. They also have bbq, pizza and sides they can deliver at your site with very good prices. WiFi didn’t work at site but works well in game room. Game room has a tv, ping pong table and an area for kids.

This was a nice surprise, an isolated location away from the town with nice tree's, birds and hare's running around so you feel like a campground.

The sites are really nice and level, and are raked after each use, good space between sites. Like most good KOA's this has a nice store, great showers, clean bathrooms. This site has a huge meeting room with TV and a Saltwater tank to relax in. The staff that seems to be working hard all day. They smoke BBQ I think 3 days a week, and offer site food delivery everyday, with Pizza and others, pretty nice! There are tent sites, and cabins too. About a 45 Minute drive from Carlsbad Caverns National Park. We'd surely stay again!

Friendly staff, and you can have a BBQ dinner or pizza delivered to your site (ordered through the front desk). They have events on the weekend and also a tent village for those that aren't RVing. Nice, cheap laundry that is open 24 hours/ day, showers, swimming pool, dog run & dog park, wifi and a general store that has ice cream, snacks, beer & wine. I would definitely stay here again.
