Wonderful campground. Clean, quiet, away from town. Best Campground near Carlsbad. Although it was full nearly every night, it was quiet and clean. For around $14 you can get a delicious barbeque dinner delivered to your site. We ate at Lucy's in Carlsbad and it was not nearly as good. We rented a cabin with a bathroom and sink. The... More

We stay at KOA's quiet often...we've stayed at probably over 20 different ones. We always stay in the cabins. This was one of the best KOA's we've ever stayed at. By far the bathroom/shower facilities are one of the cleanest of any KOA we've been to. This KOA offers BBQ dinners everynight delivered right to your campsite/tent/RV/cabin. The meats are... More

This is a very nice KOA...except the internet speed!!! About half the park is filled with working folks that are renting spaces monthly...like me. If you're camping, I guess the internet problem wouldn't bother you, as you're trying to escape your normal life. If you're temporarily living here, and need your computer, there is a BIG problem. During "peak hours"... More

We stayed here for one night in the tent village. It was a very windy day so the staff made sure we had the most protected tent spot. Facilities are immaculately clean, and the staff are friendly and full of information about all the local attractions.

We stayed here during our kids spring break, and we loved it. It was still a little cold but it was nice to see they had heaters in them. The pool was open and the kids went swimming everyday but it was way too cold for me... the wind stayed high the whole week we was there. It was hard... More

The cabin we stayed in was clean and the beds were comfortable, but it was very bare-bones. The cabin included a twin bed, bunk beds, and a small desk and chair. There was also a bench swing on the tiny porch outside of the cabin, but that is about it. The price was a little high for such a simple... More

We are inspecting pipelines, and work all hours, when I got home tonight we had a note on the door saying they limited us to 2 vehicles. I told the owner I was a disabled vet he said I don't care. I told him I didn't want to leave a 75k truck parked in overflow. I asked if he would... More

We stayed one night at the KOA, originally thinking it was in Carlsbad... we should have stayed another night at the Brantley Lake State Park, which is actually closer to Carlsbad and cost us significantly less. It's a standard KOA, facilities were fine, and included a laundry (not at Brantley Lake, which does have showers, electricity,...) but cost was about... More

Stayed overnight at the KOA on the way to Carlsbad Caverns. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were escorted to our spot. We could have ordered dinner and had it delivered. Among the registration materials were calendar of events for the area and the KOA. The bathroom, shower, and laundry facilities were really clean. The park was located off... More
