We enjoyed our stay and thought the location was close to the caverns. However we felt that the park was in minor disrepair. We were told at arrival that the pool pump was broken and awaiting a part, it looked like the pool had been like this for a long time. There was no hot water in the main building, the second location was fine but no exhaust or air bit a fan in the middle of the room.

The primary and largest shower facility was w/o hot water. We were not notified of this ahead of our stay. The first we knew about it was when we saw the sign posted on the bathroom door upon our arrival. The only bath house with hot water had much fewer facilities-3 for the entire park. They were gross, likely from overuse. The pool has obviously not functioned in some time.

Arrived early, paid the fee, reserved three nights, pool was green and not open yet it’s in season, torn volleyball net, yet it was a priority to drag the roads creating mass amounts of dust while your guests are sitting outside trying to enjoy a beverage. Stayed 2 nights out of the three, enjoy the free money, will not be back. Not living up to your sign stating your # 1 best in NM

Park was clean and well-maintained. The pool was not operational, there was no hot water for the showers, front desk staff made me feel like I was bothering them when I went to check in. I was charged a $10 early arrival fee even though the park was essentially empty. My husband went to the office to question the charge, the same front desk person was rude to him and refused to even talk about it.

Great campground and experience. Staff were pleasant and helpful. FHU and spacious sites. Wide roads and easy to navigate. 20 minutes or so to Carlsbad and many eateries, 45 minutes to the caverns. Definitely will return.

We had a great time and I would’ve given a perfect rating. If the Pool had been functional, this is the second KOA we’ve been to where the pool wasn’t usable which is pretty hard on a couple seven-year-olds looking forward to the pool after a long day of travel. ����

The park is very spacious and clean, with friendly Staff who were super helpful. Overall, my family and I had a positive experience. Campers should be aware of the distances: the nearest town is 30 minutes away in either direction, Sitting Bull Falls is 45 minutes away, Carlsbad Caverns is 1 hour away, and Guadalupe Peak is approximately 1.5 hours away.

The campground was nice, had shaded spots and lots of room. There was no hot water in the main building for showers, so there were only three showers for the entire campground. Not a huge deal, but an inconvenience. Otherwise, the laundry facilities were great, rec room had a ton of stuff to keep the whole family occupied, and the store was well stocked.

Very nice. Rachel was very helpful as we settled in. Great staff. The bathrooms were good also. Though I know some complained, I thought the bathrooms were efficient.

For an overnight site it was ok at best. There were only three showers for the whole park and they were poor. No air conditioning in 100* weather. No pool! And according to others who stayed the pool has been out of order for more than a year. Really nice reception people but they were deceptive about the pool. They said parts were in order. Too far from town to put up with deficits.

19 day southwest trip and the staff here was the best we have ever had.

We had hopes to be able to use the pool during our stay as the weather was extremely hot. The pool was not open and it was in terrible conditions (green)

Very disappointing. It would have been nice to have known the pool was still closed. The showers didn't have hot water in the main building, sinks didn't drain. Bathrooms aren't vented, very hot. Other than these items, the grounds are very well kept, the laundry area was very clean. Thanks.

100 Degrees and no swiming pool

Pool Closed, No hot water in the bathrooms, Koi pond was just dirty water. We booked here because it said there was a pool. It would have been nice to be notified it would not be open.

Campsites were spacious and level. We were disappointed that the pool was not open (and looked like it had not been in working order for a VERY long time). Front desk staff were friendly. Location was just okay. Still quite a ways from Carlsbad Caverns, which is what I assume most visitors would be coming to see.

Quiet, pleasant campground. Cheerful office staff. Quick check-in. Level sites. Cable TV was so grainy it was not watchable. Other campers confirmed theirs was the same. Pool closed even though our dates were within the advertised open time. Office staff were pleasant and helpful.

Everything was great except the pool was not available. I had 2 kids who were looking forward to swimming and with the temps over 100° it was a real let down.
May 27, 2025
This is our second time staying at this KOA. Both times it was clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. If we’re in the area again, we’ll be staying here.

The WORST KOA I've ever stayed in. FALSELY advertised there was a pool....It was closed, dark green with algie. It looks like it's been that way for years. FALSLEY advertised free Wi-Fi. Never more than one bar signal... Useless. Paid for a patio side. BBQ wouldnt light, couldnt use the wood swing unless I wanted splinters. I feel sorry for the staff who were very nice. This should NOT be a KOA.

The POOL IS BROKEN and has been for quite some time. The upper management has no plans to fix it. It is a safety hazard for bugs. Its green and if someone falls in it you would never find them. We chose ithe park because it advertised a pool. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. The staff were very apologetic and gracious. They'd like it fixed, too. It was 100°. Hot hot hot pool please!

Very nice campground, nice and quiet. Hosts were really fun!

Stayed 4 nights during Holiday weekend. Staff was awesome, Nancy and Rian went out of their way to make sure our stay was the best. The pool was not working so we took the kid to the lake for some swimming and fishing. Will definitely stay again.

We had a positive and enjoyable stay. We were long term due to being stranded with a vehicle repair. The staff was always absolutely cheerful and caring. Our stay was greatly improved due to the conveniences of onsite propane, a store, a diner, laundromat, rec room, and showers. Even our dog was spoiled, the K9 areas were well kept. The staff was professional, personable, and enthusiastic.

Friendly staff. Clean grounds with lots of outdoor games. Great menu of food. We didn't try the food on this trip, as we had a lot of our own food we needed to consume.

The park itself was OK. Friendly staff and clean. However, WIFI is a key reason I stay in RV parks and the WIFI here was terrible. The signal was very weak and inaccessible half the time, even though I was fairly close to the office. The grass inbetween the spaces was dying and made the park look low quality.

Stayed during vacation to Carlsbad caverns, Guadalupe mountains, white sands, and Roswell
May 20, 2025
Enjoyed our stay. Members of Carlsbad KOA very friendly and helpful. Do suggest. Better WiFi. Also. Told no fires if winds are 20 mph or higher. Campers have no way of knowing. Maybe some type of warning notice.

First, it’s called Carlsbad KOA, but it’s 16 miles north of Carlsbad in the middle of nowhere. The people were great, as usual. The food we ordered from their cafe was pretty good. The pool looked like a swamp. Needless to say it was not open. The pond was the same way.

Nice campsite and staff very helpful. Nice showers.

Hot and very windy conditions so we weren’t able to use the amenities or even be outside.

The only issues were the overgrowth of weeds and the pool not being open. I wish there was a proper dump station so I could clean out my tanks. Everything else was great.

Was great, except for lighting at bath house after dark.

First, the positives: to Kat in the office, thank you for the warm welcome and hospitality displayed during check in. You made the stay very nice. We appreciate you! The overall campground is pretty clean and has nice large open spots for an RV stay. The dog park was enclosed with a fence and the playground was fun for the kids. Overall a nice, quiet campground. Additionally, when I called to let them know we were coming in early we were allowed to park in the overflow area until our site opened up. On the cons, the drinking was disgusting. So, plan accordingly if you come out. The location is much further than expected from the Caverns(although I should have looked at this closer in my planning) about an hour away. The pool was not open and did not plan to open until after Memorial Day although it was already super hot out.

Quiet, it is quiet at night and I like it. Standard rock pull through with 50amp, water & sewer. Shade tree at my site. Cable is available as is WiFi at no charge. Pool, kitchen and club house. I was greeted kindly with a smile and a good attitude. If we are back this way I'd definitely stay again.
