The park was clean and the personnel were very friendly. Would recommend to anyone staying in the Carlsbad area to stay here.

Unfortunately, any good I may have to say about my stay is overshadowed by the behavior of one employee. If you really care to hear what happened please contact me. You have my information.

The wi-fi was weak and our cable outlet was in need of repair. The expensive barbeque brisket that I ordered from the campground restaurant was very dry.

Very nice campground and folks. I had a serious maintenance issue and they came and fixed it in less than five minutes. The layout is nice with plenty of spacing and utilities. They try to keep the facilities looking nice, clean, and the roadways are racked every day. The place is a bit dated and is pretty far from town, but that is what I was looking for providing amazing star views.

Well kept facilities and the staff were very nice

We overnighted here while traveling through NM. It's a very nice and extremely clean campground. The staff was very helpful, nice and professional. I highly recommend this park.

We stayed 5 nights great location base to see everything in the area.

The park was neat and clean with spacious sites. The staff were helpful and friendly! The only real negative was the quality of the water. It as very hard and left residue on everything it touched.

We arrived an hour early. Check in was at 2:00 pm and they charged $10 early check in fee. Never have we been charged for early check in. Don’t promote your food service and change the policy day of. Convenient to Carlsbad Caverns. You can do better.

Pull through was nice and level. Showed up after dark. Next morning found several places with dog poop in my grassy area. Laundry room is nice but several machines smelled and they appear not clean. Dog area nice but fence clasp needs to be fixed as a dog could press against fence and get out. Biggest disappointment was how far this was from the Caverns. Figured the by the name it would be closer

We were there in some recent wind storms that held up our travels for a few days. We were grateful for a well maintained safe place to stay.

We stopped here to visit the caverns. This is a good park.

Friendly staff, spacious level sites.

We enjoyed the location being out of Carlsbad. We always feel safe and secure at a KOA. Thanks for another great stay!

Very clean and quiet park.

We enjoyed our stay, and the people who worked there were wonderful! The gravel roads were hard on our dogs' feet, and the distance from Carlsbad was something of a turn-off, ALTHOUGH it put us on our way when we left in a good way! KOA is a class outfit!

some bathrooms didn’t work, Some where just not level. Park stank like open sewer. Wifi is very bad. Park needs new ownership and investment money. Do not stay at this camp site. Sleep at a rest stop or walmart first. I’ve never left a bad review at a KOA. Maybe just close this one and bulid another.

Would have rated it 5 except for the dirt bike and go cart running through the campground kicking up dust and disrupting noise. It was not campers but staff.
Feb 26, 2025
Nice wide sites, level ground and everything else you look for at a KOA. Location is great with respect to area attractions.

Only there one night, but great spot. Quiet, large spaces, very clean, nice dog park.

We found the Carlsbad KOA to be very accommodating, we loved the spacious drive through sites, the large rec room, and the very friendly staff. We had exceptionally cold weather for several days, the staff did their best to prepare the campers. They had a nicely maintained dog park and we enjoyed the close proximity to 4 National Parks. Thanks to the staff- Mel, Kat, Will, Josh, Amanda

Too isolated. It is 45 minutes from the caverns & 25 from town. The sites are large which is great & the laundry was very nice. There is SO much that could be done with this park since it is a "Holiday" rating. Why isn't there a fenced dog area, K9 camp? A jumping pillow or better playground structures would be nice. We were there in winter so the pool was cold but it was VERY small.
Feb 23, 2025
Nice park. Large enough sites for big rig. Make sure to bring whatever to park, is out a ways from towns. The BBQ food was really good at moderate price. Would recommend if driving to attractions isn't an issue for you.

This KOA has the best laundry facilities of and KOA I have ever used. Friendly staff and well maintained camp sites.

No hot water in main bath so 3 showers in small old building for whole campground. Girl checking us in had no personality talked like a robot. Took our small dog to pet walk and some Great Dane tried to get at her by jumping over fence, had to leave. Was scheduled to stay 3 nights, wanted to cancell the last night and she wouldn’t reimburse so we forfeited our night and left.

Clean and quiet. They said they had internet but neither wife nor I could connect.

Very accessible and clean! Able to book last minute for our cross country stay!

Carlsbad KOA is a fantastic place to camp near the National Park and State Park and lake reservoir. RV spots are spacious and offer easy hook-up. Great amenities for pets. We loved how clean, safe, and comfortable this KOA was.
Feb 11, 2025
Great spaces. Roomy, level, groomed gravel. Good hookups and picnic table and fire ring. THE BAD: None of the amenities worked! No pool, no hot water, water feature defunct. Bathrooms smelly and in poor cond. For real? How much can a new shower curtain cost?! Remote bathrooms need torn down and rebuilt. KOA should not allow “#1in New Mexico”! Maybe 20 years ago but not in 2025

Camping tranquille. Très venteux lors de notre passage. Pas d’eau chaude dans les douches. Le wifi n’est pas très bon.

Great location, awesome staff!

This is by far the WORST KOA I have ever stayed at. No hot water in the main shower house because their 30 year old boiler stopped working. Alternate shower house was a pit: toilets that would not flush, sinks that would not drain, sinks that leaked all over the floor. Doors off hinges. Door handles that were loose. Floors were gross and looked moldy. Most of the staff were inattentive.

Great place and very clean!

Everything was as described. Very clean and the Laundry was excellent. Also the people very friendly and helpful.
Feb 07, 2025
First off, we didn’t realize that you were that many miles away from town and you should let people know the second is that the main restrooms were closed so we went to the other restrooms and one of the sinks was leaking in cabin number two and it looked like it needed to be cleaned

Sorry, I wish I could be more complimentary but this RV Park needs some love. The facilities are very worn and in need of repair and or replacement. A deep clean, coat of paint and basic maintenance would go a long way until they can be replaced. More signage is needed on the road to the lake, easy to get turned around.

A little far out from the sights but not bad. Sites are fairly level. Water pressure is low. Definitely do not want to drink the water, even with a filter. Our dogs wouldn't drink it either. Restrooms are large and clean. Store is nice. They offer BBQ meals and deliver to your site. Nice alternative after a busy day of hiking. Staff are very polite. No frills stop. Anything you might need is quite a ride into town so come prepared.

We had a great stay. We visited Carlsbad Caverns. Not too bad of a drive to the caverns. The park is clean and quiet. Big level sites with trees and grass. The pool wasnt open till May but was in sad shape, all green and nasty. There was a Koi pond, no sign of Koi, but there was a green pond. They have a menu that you can have food made and they will bring to your campsite. Great dog area. 2 separate fenced areas side by side. Complete with shade trees and benches. Lots of games to play, giant checkers, chess and basketball. Clean bathrooms, except for the celling missing above the ladies showers. Clean reasonable priced laundry room, complete with transfer carts.

Clean, quiet, all very friendly helpful staff. Small camp store. Very spacious ,clean laundry room , clean shower and bath house . Offer home cooked dinners of amazing smoked meats, beans, slaw, potato salad . My personal favorite was the smoked turkey and to die for potato salad. Close to brantley lake, About 20 miles from town , and the Carlsbad Caverns national park, 30 plus miles from Sitting Bull Falls which is an oasis in the desert Must visit ! Loved the KOA friendly, clean welcoming experience .
