Campground Reviews

Very nice park, good laundry facility. Great dirt road outside the park to run the dog. Lots of burrs/ stickers in the grassy areas that track into the RV. I like that it’s out of town.

We stayed two nights in the Pueblo cottage. Our stay was everything we expected. Nice clean cabin. We plan to stay at Carlsbad KOA again later this year.
Nov 17, 2017
Very clean and quiet. Sites are large! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall the best KOA we’ve stayed at so far!!!

Great place to stay. Nice and quiet. A little far from Carlsbad and the Caverns.
Nov 17, 2017
We stayed two nights, giving us time to visit the Carlsbad Caverns national park. The site was easy to get into and the utilities were very accessible. We chose to buy dinner (BBQ) from the park restaurant, and it was very good. The rv park is about 15 miles north of the city of Carlsbad (good for a dark sky), and set back from the highway, well enough that there was very little road noise.

Very clean (new?) Showers and rest room. Laundry was good. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The campground is far away from Carlsbad. The people are very friendly and the washroom is very clean.

Perfect location to stop on our road trip.

One of the best campgrounds we have ever visited. Very well maintained. Big sites. Friendly, professional staff. Delicious food delivered to your door . Just far enough from the highway to be quiet. We would go out of our way to stay there again.

Excellent stay for the area. Staff are extremely nice, friendly and helpful. Restrooms and showers are immaculate, everything about this place is great. Drove by mother RV parks in the area and they are nothing compared to this one. Sights are long and wide, no issue with hook ups, dog park is grassy.

Clean, neat and friendly. Everything was well taken care of from the landscaping to the bathrooms. I told my husband it was like I had cleaned the bathrooms myself! It was like staying with our own family. Would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you for your hospitality!

The campground site and accommodations were excellent. We have stayed in a number of KOA's and this KOA ranks as one of the best!
Nov 12, 2017
We liked it because it was out of town a few miles, and really quite. The staff was great.

Great place to stay,well maintained, clean and with the option of dinner extra $$$.Keep in mind that this campground its in the middle between Artesia and Carlsbad. Keep in mind that the nearest restaurant it's 20 miles and the caverns are about an hour. Wifi only works in the main office.

Very pricey, horrible Wifi. Roomy bathrooms & showers. But for the price, there should be usable WiFi. I've run into this at the last 3 KOAs I've stayed at. I work on the road and need WiFi. Not happy about it.
Nov 07, 2017
Excellent in every way except for NO wifi. Great staff. Great bathrooms. But no wifi!
Nov 07, 2017
Well kept campground. Very neat and tidy. Little pricey I thought for the area. But nice place.

A well run KOA! Most RV Park resources in Carlsbad are dedicated to oil field workers and finding a nice place is tough. This KOA is 20 minutes north of Carlsbad and 1 hour north of Carlsbad caverns. All sites were level. Pull through sites were long and wide. Nice dog park. I'd chose this KOA over any of the in-town places even with the extra drive.
Nov 06, 2017
Too close to a noisy highway. Noise all night.
Nov 06, 2017
Nice facility, beautiful bathrooms, lousy wifi coverage. It's 2017. You should not have to walk to the main building to use your iPad or laptop for three days. I would not recommend this site purely for that reason.

We don't do a lot of traveling as it relates to our RV but we are entering our retirement age and we will certainly travel more. What I can say about your KOA is that it is management friendly, clean, open space, easy to park, excellent hook ups, etc.. We enjoyed our stay and will probably utilize you in the future.

Très propre, grand terrain et personnel accueillant

Very friendly and nice people. Sites were really small.
Nov 05, 2017
One of the nicest, friendliest parks we’ve stayed in. A special thanks to Donna for the ride in her ATV and all the info about the area she so enthusiastically imparted. The in-house BBQ is a unique and very nice touch as well. If we are ever back this way, this is definitely where we’ll be staying..
Nov 05, 2017
Staff was very friendly and helpful. The lots were enormous and very well kept!! The in-house barbecue was deliverd to our site hot and awesome!!

It is one of the best laid-out parks we have been to. The sites are great. The price is a little higher compared to other parks like yours.
Nov 01, 2017
Stayed for four nights. Cleanest, most well kept campgrounds we have ever been to. Friendly staff as well. Highly reccomend.

Tent sites are next the road leading in and out out some of the RV sites. It was hard to sleep.
Oct 31, 2017
The tent village is located at a VERY poor location. As every vehicle leaves, it drives right next to the Tent Village on gravel road. Lots of diesel engine trucks and noise all night long. My wife and I did not get much sleep.
Oct 31, 2017
Great campground with nice big lots and lawn between sites. Washrooms were it prime condition clean and showers large so I didn't hit my elbows shampooing my hair! Didn't get much time to walk around on the trail and the pool was already closed for the season. Definitely would stay here again.
Oct 31, 2017
Campground was very nice we enjoyed the use of the fire pit only complaint Wi-Fi was pretty much nonexistent
Oct 31, 2017
This is a very good rv park. This was our 2nd time here. It is large, we'll maintained, and the staff is friendly. It is located about 30 miles from Carlsbad Caverns, 50 miles from Roswell, and near a lake. It does get a bit windy, but that's New Mexico.

Clean bathrooms, great covered area in electric/water tent site. Great bar-b-que delivered to site. Well lite at night.
Oct 30, 2017
Perfect, loved it.

We had a great family weekend trip! The people who run this KOA were so friendly and helpful! One morning our car wouldnât start and the man who works there came over to help us get it started! Very helpful and family friendly place to stay!!!

The bathrooms are very large and clean. There is plenty of room between each camper slot. Very nice.

Had to leave a day early because of the bad smell!!!
