This KOA is quiet, clean and friendly. Great laundry facilities and good proximity to Carlsbad Caverns.

Great facility, clean cabin and many washer and dryers. Stayed in a deluxe cabin. Bed a little soft and cable was out. All in all it’s a very good KOA.

This KOA is very well maintained everything from the bathrooms and showers to the parking areas proper. The staff is super helpful so all in all this is a top tier KOA.

Nice roomy pull- throughs with full utilities. My only complaint is we didn’t have kids or pets and we were placed right by the dog run and kids playground and the couple next to us kept leaving their dog so it barked non- stop. Still this is the roomiest KOA we’ve stayed at yet. Excellent customer service too.

Considering the surroundings of the desert and the very high heat, this place was kind of neat. We were able to see lots of things in the area and had a great time in this park. The pool was outstanding and the bats flying around the entrance lights at night eating the bug flying in the lights was the best free show we could ask for. Our Granddaughters loved staying here as well as my wife and I!

The shower area was clean. The campground was well maintained. The staff was helpful. Good location for us as we like to check out the history of the areas we visit

Probably the most disappointing KOA we have stayed at. Satellite bathrooms were pretty disgusting, and main one not much better!! Campsite not well maintained. Very disappointing for a KOA.

We loved our stay at Carlsbad KOA! It was clean, quiet, lots of room between sites, really nice K9 park, a nature walk and super location to the Caverns, Sitting Bull Falls, Living Desert, Downtown Carlsbad and Artesia. It’s well maintained, on site propane and friendly staff. Everything you need in a campground!

Beautiful Koa. We’ve stayed here a few times and I’m always impressed with the cleanliness and amenities. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!!

Huge sites, extra wide roads, so easy for our 44 ft 5th wheel to navigate. The staff were great. We were late leaving and they were great about it.

Very nice folks. Close to the lake and to Carlsbad Caverns. The water has a peculiar taste that didn’t agree with me, so make sure to try it before filling up your tank.

Great campground and friendly office staff (Tara was great) and far enough off the highway for peace and quiet! Will definitely return! Do not pass it up!����

Positives: Clean Heat and a/c work great Never ran out of hot water Check out super easy Good privacy and quiet Cons: Wifi shaky at best Advertise as pet friendly (why I choose there) selected on their site I was bringing mine, yet seemed surprised when I brought mine and charged me a second time? Was strange. Overall was a good experience and they left me alone with all their rules.

The signage on the highway is very hard to see at night coming from Artresia. The office staff in the morning could not have been less interested in us when we stopped in to ask a question before we left. Would never stay again.

The facility was very clean and the staff friendly. The location is not the most attractive and I was surprised how far it was from the town of Carlsbad and a long way from the caverns.

I only stayed one night. I liked the gift shop and the showers were clean. Staff was friendly. Site was level. Wifi was slow, but it worked.

The bathrooms, particularly the showers need to be cleaned. There was hair on the shower floor and on the mats in the shower. The laundry room was very clean.

Passing through the area to visit Carlsbad Caverns. Nice facilities and dog park.

Nice campground everything we needed

We only stayed one night because we were heading home but it is very nice and clean with large spaces. We were very comfortable and I loved the fenced in dog park. Its hard to travel with dogs but we don't want to put them in a kennel so a fenced in area for them to get exercise is wonderful. A dog park is one of the things we look for when we choose our campgrounds for the night.

Great stay. Nice grounds, well kept and staff was very friendly. Bathrooms and Laundry rooms were spotless and well kept.

Very clean but too expensive for what you get in January

This should be categorized as a Journey, not a Holiday. Nice level sites but the bathrooms are only cleaned 11a-1p daily and by evening the bathhouse bathrooms were gross. There is a sewer smell but that is not their fault. Another KOA that needs a recycling bin, not just a dumpster. It’s 2024 can’t we all pitch in just a little?!? GET A RECYCLING BIN!

Dirty, dusty, not nice. Pool was a mud pit (cover it if you’re not using it) laundry room used by staff for rental cottages. Office was sparse with overpriced supplies. So disappointed with this facility. It should not be a KOA; not what expected for KOA. Bathrooms not clean, shower had mold in corners. Restaurant not open. So disappointed.

Extremely friendly staff, very spacious sites and very clean and well maintained. A little ways out of Carlsbad (20+ minutes to get into town to shop) so it's "secluded" but we liked that. We only had 2 issues: 1. there was an occasional smell like sewer? We thought it was our RV but it's not & there are other reviews about this. 2. VERY hard water, its okay for a few days but leaves stains.

Great campground, and play areas. Would definitely stay here again. Due to lack of help the camp store was never open when we were there but that was the only negative

We have always like this park but won't be back. Paid for full hookups but didn't have water because the faucet didn't work. My husband had to hookup to another site. He reported the problem but no one showed up to check it out. My husband fixed it the best he could do we could have water. I sweep the laundry room floor because it was very dirty.

The sites are large and level. It was easy for us to maneuver our 40ft rig. The girl that checked us in was wonderful! The fellow travelers were great to converse with. NOT close to Carlsbad or the caverns but quiet and clean.

Wonderful place! Self registration was easy. The bathrooms, showers and laundry areas were SPOTLESS! The grounds were tidy and we barely had to level our trailer. Super convenient location and signage to get here. Added bonus was a breakfast cafe!!

We would not recommend this location. This was rated a KOA Holiday, but there were no amenities that I associate with a KOA Holiday. The bathrooms were dirty; considering there were few other campers, I don't think they'd been cleaned in a while. The women's showers were gross with hair all over the floor. A better option would have been boondocking on BLM land closer to the National Park.

It was a great place to stay clean and quiet and the staff was very friendly �

Great RV spots. Very spacious! Well kept, very clean. About 45 mins from Carlsbad Caverns. They do make pizzas on site, but the nearest restaurant or store is about 30mins. Still really great KOA

Showers were wonderful, staff was friendly. Liked the activity room and games. Price was reasonable. If anything was not right, I would say that shower curtains need cleaned routinely, they had mildew on the bottom
