Wide pull thru level site. Friendly staff. Grounds are being improved with some additional sites getting patios.

Perfect for visiting the caverns. Easy access on/off highway. Set off road so there was no highway noise.

Campground was very clean & nice. The staff was friendly & helpful. Would have rated it a five star, but there was a horrible sewer smell. We had to keep windows closed the whole time. Very disappointing !

Delightful. We had everything we needed in a clean lovely setting. Cooked smores and studied the night sky. The little rabbits and quail were the icing on the cake. This KOA is situated perfectly to get us where we wanted to go and get back in a timely manner. Our visit will be a part of our memories for years to come. We have already discussed coming back.

My only problem with the stay was the hole in the 2nd dog yard fence that allowed small dogs to just run right thru the fence. You should see about having that fixed - we were just walking our dogs and 2 dogs got through that hole and charged my dogs - no dogs got hurt but I can see the potential for that happening - especially when my dog is on a leash and the loose dog in the yard gets out

Management very helpful. Outer perimeter of the park is 1/2 mile, ideal for a morning walk. Park is clean and quiet.

Very spacious. Friendly Staff

Very courteous and friendly staff. We arrived after hours and all the instructions and RV site were taken care of. Nice spacious sites with trees and grass too. Saw rabbits and quail wandering about. A very nice park to stay in!

A nice pleasant stay. Don't be afraid to try the food they prepare there. It is excellent and reasonably priced. Great meal, large portions and they will deliver it to you. Beats driving 15 miles into Carlsbad. The main bathrooms were undergoing a major remodel during our stay but the secondary ones were old but very clean. Would definitely stay here again if ever down in that part of NM.

Nice campground and very helpful staff. Depending on the wind there was an odor, possibly sewer.

Nice clean facility.

Enjoyed the stay though it was pretty far from Carlsbad Caverns. Facilities were clean and quiet

Having water problems and the upper bathrooms were closed. They should of cleaned the lower bathrooms more then once a day. The new KOA book tells you they are 13 miles out of Carlsbad. The old book doesn’t give you that impression. People were nice.

This site needs a lot of help, only 3 working bathrooms for entire populace, everything worn out and needing replacement. Restrooms not super clean and even the paper towels were empty. Too far from town and even further from the Caverns! Positive points are wildlife we saw and friendly staff and patrons.

Nice. Would stay again.

Very spacious lots, but was disappointed that there were only 3 individual bathrooms for the whole site. They were constantly in use, wet floors, and were not clean. Shower curtains desperately need to be replaced. We’re in a pop up camper so we unfortunately don’t have our own restroom. Also was really frustrated that the laundry was for long term guests only, we weren’t told before booking

The campground is clean and well kept. The camping spaces weren't on top of one another which we really liked. I definitely recommend this KOA

The campground is a quite a ways from Carlsbad Caverns, which is why we came to the area, but after seeing the other campgrounds in the area, I would stay here over any of the others. Grumpy older woman, at the front desk, said we had to pay $10 to check in early but the rest of your staff was wonderful and very helpful.

It was a very nice,clean and quiet facility. Easy in and out. Friendly staff that answered our questions, and directed us to our campsite.

Ratings would be good were it not for the fact that the restrooms were closed for remodeling and the only available bathrooms were 3 ‘camping’ bathrooms, which were continually and completely disgustingly dirty during our 3 night stay. They were so dirty that we opted to not shower during that time. Toilets had poop inside and out, showers had hair, sinks were visibly dirty, paper towels empty

One improvement you could make is to have on site garbage pick up in the morning. Really appreciated By guests

Staff was friendly. The bathrooms closest to the tent village were closed so we had to walk far or drive to the bathrooms. Another thing is that the tent village is infested with flies as soon as the sun comes up, it was in bearable.

Your employee who rides the golf cart was rude and approached husbands vehicle talking into his face without a mask on. Luckily husband has his on. Never again KOA!

Most everything was closed, no shade in 114 temp and 30 mph wind gust. The staff was great but the facility needed maintenance . .

Office hours only from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I needed help before 10:00 a.m and after 6:00 p.m. Washing machines broke down. Men's room broke down. Alternate memos room long distance away. Place is NOT well kept.

Front desk elderly lady & escort gentleman was very nice the night we came in. Asked if they would give us a discount on 3rd night for a small cabin w/bath, this lady was younger & was rude. "NO--- we need all the money we can get due to covid."....what ever, something is better that nothing. Restrooms & cabin were filthy. Get a power washer out instead of sitting under a tree looking at phone.

This is a nice park with nicely spaced and level spots, and a great spot for seeing the area. However, the Kamp K-9 was a disappointment. It is very much in need of repairs - both our dogs managed to slip out of the closed gate due to a large gap and the fence was almost down in places. Needed mowing as well. Park was quiet and otherwise well maintained.

Clean campground, friendly staff... amazing bbq made on sight and delivered to your sight.
Sep 22, 2020
We came in after hours and everything was ready for us and available. Really nice spacious spots.
Sep 21, 2020
We had a key mix up for our cabin, but it was resolved and the staff were friendly and courteous
Sep 21, 2020
The staff seemed a little burnt out and stressed, not the friendly staff I encounter at most KOAs. Maybe it is the added stress of dealing with the virus this year. If KOA has not acknowledged the staff nationwide please do so. Even an acknowledgement without any extra money might help them get through this year. NO ONE was rude. I will be back there again.

Other than being 19 miles from Carlsbad & 45 miles from Carlsbad Caverns, the KOA itself was very well taken care of; large lots (whether pull thru or back in), hookups were well maintained, clean bathrooms, & friendly staff. We were there mid-September and the weather was very comfortable, no bugs, & no wind.

I would have given it a 10, but the internet is bad.

The crew was very friendly and helpful. They made dinner for me!

Great campsite and great people.

We had a wonderful time. The place was clean, super easy to pull into and hook up. The owners running the store super nice. The only problem is the flies. Absolutely just the time of year. Nothing to do with the campground. I'd stay again in a heartbeat.

Great place. I loved KOAs across the country as soon as I saw the places. 10/10.
