Tent Reviews

May 30, 2023
This was our first time staying at a KOA campground. We had an awesome time tent camping in the area with the electricity and water. The staff were very nice and helpful. The facility/restroom were very clean. The kitchen has some challenges, so we didn’t get to try the BBQ (no big deal). The overall experience was great! We will for sure visit again if we are in the area.

Great stay! Clean facilities and very quiet!

The "tent village" site 4 was dirty, full of cobwebs, weeds knee high. Shame on KOA for not preparing for it for our stay. When we asked that they at least weed wack it, they couldn't be bothered. Be aware the tent village is like an echo chamber. You'll hear everything amplified--Your neighbors will sound like they're in your tent with you. Beware Saturday night-party night! Not a peaceful stay.

Overall great - they were willing to move my dog and I to a tent spot that had some shade. I did notice a large amount of foxtails/grass awns in the dog play areas - would suggest a warning sign for pet owners (these can wreak havoc if they embed into the ears, mouth, nose, paws, long fur, etc).

The receptionist was friendly & helpful & we enjoyed the display out front. The store had a good variety of offerings, too. We didn't realize how close the other tenters would be under the pavilion, but were glad of the wind break! The dog parks were tidy & spacious. We liked the covered game and table area; it was still too windy to use our stove at our site. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

What a great place to tent camp. Able to have a fire. The dog park is so nice to have to give our little dog a place off leash.

The team at Carlsbad HOA Holiday is fantastic. We have traveled to hang out there twice within a month from another state and would do it again if time allowed.

Your facility was a wonderful place for both our scouts and their families. Everything was just a short drive away. Thanks for the great hospitality. Scoutmaster Larry Nikolaus

No question this KOA is in a desert gem environment. What a retreat!

Carlsbad KOA has an amazing setup, even with a few unwelcome guests, and is run way better than expectations! The gift shop is also well appointed, and the facilities are clean as a whistle.

So quiet, with so many RVs. I am amazed! Your neighbors need to chill with their light tho

This was my second KOA stay and I was fairly disappointed. The camping area is not the greatest, no privacy at all, bench/table is in poor shape. In comparison to other KOA - Carlsbad KOA is more expensive with less amenities, no filtered water available, coffee and tea for purchase only, dirty showers. I would not stay again.

Stayed in a tent site. Clean campgrounds.

It is clean and well laid out, but the thing that really struck me was how quiet it was. A lot of campgrounds are right off the highway and trucks and traffic all night can keep you awake. This was very convenient, yet quiet.

Stayed in the tent village. Most nearby tent campers (separated by wooden fences) didn’t turn down the volume of their conversation, music, or singing, so you could hear everyone’s business. A crying baby kept us awake for two nights. Traffic sounds are consistent. Wish the WiFi reached the tent sites. WIND was destructive. A heads up about wind would have been appreciated. Great shower

Overall, we had a lovely time during our stay. Check-in/out was easy, we loved our tent site, the staff was very kind, and our kids loved the Gaga ball pit/playground. Great location to 3 parks! The only issues were the dirty bathrooms and the kitchen sink—both of which are important for tent campers. Both need a major deep clean. Showers were not touched for days (dirty razor left there, etc

Located a bit north of Carlsbad (which is a bit north of the Caverns), the KOA had nice tent sites, clean restrooms/ facilities, and a great sense of camaraderie among the guests. Would stay there again!

The site itself was nice but the restrooms were not being cleaned and stocked. They ran out of toilet paper and the sinks in the men's restroom didn't work. The person that helped us seemed very irritated when we first checked-in, not at us, but didn't give us a great impression.

We loved staying here!! It was such an enjoyable experience! The staff were super friendly all week! The bathroom and showers were always clean!! We would get text about the weather warning us of upcoming bad weather!! I would come back again!! Thankful for welcoming these spring breakers!!

The amenities and tent areas were perfect. Only negatives were the paper towel dispenser in the womens barely worked. It would be nice if the store had longer hours. For those who are out on adventure and don't get back till after 6 and leave before 10 we didn't get in the shop but once.

Extremely attentive staff and clean grounds. Thank you KOA Holiday Carlsbad

Great people, great showers, road noise at night, and spiney things in tent area. Lots of family games. Perhaps the best pick if visiting Carlsbad Cavern.

Incredible! As a solo female traveler the hosts were super kind and informative. Not to mention the vast majority of families staying here made me feel like I was staying in a safe established residential neighborhood. Safest stay I’ve ever experienced and I’ve stayed in my fair share of campgrounds. Would 100% stay here again.

Most challenging was the highway 285 noise - there is a fence between the campground and the highway, but it could be better to help isolate the noise. I stayed in spot TV6 (the hexagon pwr/water tent area) - I thought these spots were a nice idea, so do the doves - bird poop on all the table and any wood surface area. The ground was flat and worked well for a four person tent. Great showers.

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
