Tent Reviews

Apr 11, 2025
We stayed at a tent site and the road noise was constant all night. Plus the tent sites are right along the entrance to the rv sites.

OMG, the WORST place you can imagine to stay in a tent!!! The ROAR from the nearby highway could be heard even through our earplugs, and we spent a mostly-sleepless night there. An RV would probably be fine, as it is insulated from noise... a tent is NOT recommended!!!!! The plusses were the nice staff, being able to charge our devices right in the campsite, and very nice bathrooms and showers.

As always, the service was great and the bathrooms were clean. I love staying at KOA’s because I feel safe and welcome!

The deluxe tent area did not look like the pictures. The grass is actually gravel with a few weeds. The area could use some paint, though there are patches of different colors of paint like some e made a small brief effort. The storage cupboard was pretty much unusable, full of cobwebs and who knows what else. For the premium price it should have been a lot nicer. And it smells like gas.

Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Only one sink in men’s bathroom partial worked.

The staff was amazing. The property was very well kept. I couldn’t say anything better. I will definitely stay the next time. I’m out west.

This was my first time at a KOA and I loved it! The bathrooms and showers were clean and had plenty of hot water.

Upon arrival to assigned tent campsite, there was a dead bird on tent pad. Additionally, picnic table at assigned tent site was entirely broken, leaving us unable to utilize the surface to make dinner. Have most definitely stayed at nicer KOA’s prior and was highly disappointed in the quality of accommodations.

Amazing. Love the rec room.

Really enjoyed our stay in the tent village, everyone was so nice and made our stay very enjoyable

Staff were nice, but the noise for tent campers is terrible because we’re right next to the main entrance. Even trucks driving slow make a lot of noise on a gravel road. Could barely sleep past 3AM when people started leaving.

The sand spurs in the tent lots really affected our stay. They popped a camping pad through the tent, got in everyone’s shoes, ankles, sleeping bags. It was the entire focus of the stay unfortunately.

Restrooms needed much work. Sinks have no countertops. Sinks have no hot water, only brief spurts of cold water. I understand the need for water conservation in the desert but it makes it impossible to shave without taking a shower. Towel dispenser did not work properly. The biggest problem is that there are no alternatives for tent campers.

The camp ground is awesome if your not in a tent. I get it tenting isn't for everyone but those that tent this isn't a good spot. There was a very bright light on that lit up our tent all night long. There was also a sewer smell not continuous but here and there that made for unpleasant moments. I will say that the campground is nice and clean which is why we would stay again just not in a tent

The non-electric site was big enough for a 10-man & 3-man tent + pop-up canopy. The website states "quiet setting; no planes or trains; sleep under the stars". What they didn't mention is it's just off a highway, the tent sites are right next to the entrance, and there's light pollution from street lamps and buildings. It didn't ruin our stay, just something to keep in mind.

Everything was great besides the campsite having a ton of ants everywhere.

Friendly, helpful staff. Pool not open. Hot water intermittent. Diner not open.
Sep 21, 2024
It seems to me that they never maintained TV tent area we found so many flies due to unclean and dusty especially near by the storage box. I will never recommend to stay at TV area.

Our site needed weed eating. The water in the showers was awful. Get a water filtration system instead of all the silly chess games and fishponds. My hair felt like straw after I washed it. Two of the showers were out of order. It took forever for the water to get hot. I was about to give up when I finally felt a bit of warmth. It felt like I walked in the 60’s. Update the bathrooms.
Sep 14, 2024
The site was easy to find and the staff was super friendly and helpful. My only complaint was that 2 of the 3 regular shower stalls were out of order.
Sep 08, 2024
It was unkempt. The pool was green and unusable. They were trying to get the kitchen opened. The bathrooms were not clean and had 2 of the 3 showers out of order. Toilet paper not refilled. Recreation room dirty and full of trash. Tent sites were full of spiderwebs and rodent droppings and had no grass. Grills were rusted through and unusable.
Sep 04, 2024
The bathrooms/showers were a bit in despair.
Sep 03, 2024
It was great

The freeway is very close by, about 100 yards, so it is very noisy at the KOA with traffic driving by at all hours. You can even see the freeway and cars' lights from the campground! Not very many trees. Camping neighbors were in full view on all sides. The bathrooms/showers/game room were nice and the gate sign was cute.

All good, and thank you.

The stay was fine but could've been better. Front desk people were great! But was really disappointed about some of the amenities not working or closed. The pool was closed, the running water to the cabins didn't work, the pedal carts were broken except 1 (our kids were really excited to get to ride these and were not able to due to them being broken). I liked that the location was close to lake.
Aug 06, 2024
The reason to be there was the pool, the kids were excited about it, when we arrived I was told that the pool was not working and maybe would work next day, that didn’t happen. Bathroom ok, playroom ok. But it needs to to be communicated that what they offered is not going to be available so people make plans accordingly specially if you are camping only one or two days when every minute counts.
Aug 04, 2024
it was so wonderful!!!! Plan on coming back!
Aug 04, 2024
I arrived well after hours but check in was still easy. I stayed in the premium tent site. I was a little disappointed that the tent pad I was at wasn’t grass as stated but the enclosed area and light were nice.

In terms of KOA kampgrounds, this was one of our least favourite. Office hours are short which limits access to the amenities, the recreation room was lacking organization and missing essential elements for using the games available, the swimming pool was green and we couldn’t swim in it. Our campsite was ok but could have used some tidying of spider webs. The water tap was caked in minerals.
Jul 15, 2024
The staff was super friendly and check in/out was easy. However, during original booking there was a misrepresentation on the website about space available. A family of 5 could not fit in the site we booked. The pool was disgusting and hadn’t been cleaned in a while. The catering wasn’t available because of a busted refrigerator. No heat in the showers Overall, not worth the money we paid for
Jul 12, 2024
I know the weather is very hot there but the showers don't have hot water.They are infested with flies, we had to fight them all day long.The pool was very dirty.
Jul 08, 2024
This was our second KOA in a week. This one was SUPERIOR!!! Both were nice but this location was much better. We will absolutely be back! All of the spaces were well kept and the bathrooms were very clean which I think is so important. I arrived late and the office was closed but two employees were helpful in giving me information on my site.

Every time we travel through Carlsbad, the kids request Carlsbad KOA as a stopover. Very friendly and helpful staff, great amenities and a great experience!
Jul 06, 2024
We had a great time kids loved it
Jul 04, 2024
Even though the stay was good overall the facilities, and over all feel, are run down and need a little TLC. This is especially true if the tent sites which is where we stayed.
Jul 03, 2024
Nice and clean campground. We didn’t get in until 9pm but our welcome packet was outside the front office. The tent village was great with coverage over some of the site and privacy fences. The only thing I’m bummed about was the shower never got warm.
Jun 25, 2024
Office staff very friendly. Water heater for main showers not working, kitchen not operational, pool supposed to open at 10. Asked at 11:30 when it would open was told they needed 1/2 hr to start getting it ready. Waited 2 hrs, eventually got text saying it would not open. Pool was our plan for that day When open previously, very cloudy water. Tentvillage site lots of spider webs. Nice porch area.

Friendly, clean, great pool and fun outdoor activities. Nice shaded patio with games and the rec center was great. Bathrooms/shower areas were clean. Loved the tent corral. First time at a KOA in many years. Only complaint no shade in the tent area. 106° shade would have been nice! Whole 2 day experience was great!

Great staff and amenities for a campsite!
Jun 15, 2024
There was no hot water.

Tent camping in the hot New Mexico desert! Perfect! Especially with a screen roof to star gaze all night long. Carlsbad KOA was clean and friendly. A perfect base camp to explore the treasures of Carlsbad and Roswell.

I stayed two nights in the covered tent area. was disappointed immediately about the space. they advertise grass area there was NO grass. I mentioned to the lady in office O was disappointed and just got a Oh! response.. then the next morning I went to take a shower and No hot water. I would have just left if it wasn’t for the fact my grandson wanted to sleep in a tent and go to Carlsbad Cavern

It was awesome! We had two kids and they enjoyed it very much :) showers and bathrooms are clean and there’s a lot of space for walking and looking at the night sky and night hawks!

Great campsite for our tent. We really appreciated the covering and storage area within the site. Wonderful recreation room, too. Bathrooms were always clean. Thanks for a great stay.

Older facility but very well kept. Excellent staff very friendly.

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 .
