Guide
We stopped at this KOA for one night while passing through New Mexico. We had a great view of the valley below and our site had everything we needed--full hookups. We were pretty close to others but that's not unusual for a KOA. Nothing wrong with this place but not a luxurious campground.
LegendVery maintained KOA campground. Online reservation very smooth. Arrived at 2:30 Christmas afternoon. Registration packet was ready even if office was closed.
TravelerGreat views, clean restrooms and very helpful staff. Full hook ups (city water & 30amp shore power) for back in spots. Pull through had 50amp.
price $38 per night
LegendAfter about 308 miles on the road today we were tired. The desolate stretches of highway between Tucson and Las Cruces had paid their toll and we were very happy to at last see the Las Cruces KOA Campground sign.
We had called in advance and were insured that tent camping was not yet full and we could come and make ourselves at home. Unknowing if we would make it before the office closed between 6:00 and 6:30 we were delighted to see the friendly face of Anne when we arrived.
She assisted us with not only a great campsite but also providing a map with items potentially of interest and some knowledge about our next days activity.
Our campsite was near the bathrooms and on a grassy area with plenty of shade. We were provided with a grill station and picnic table as well as water at the site and parking just in front along the slight fence line.
The campground facilities provided a half basketball court and play area as well as a gazebo for looking at the views during sunset. Those views were amazing overlooking the city and into the mountains as the night fell from the distance.
We found an outdoor grill area upon arrival which offered a little more relief from winds than our campsite itself so were able to use our camp stove there and also have a nice area to sit and eat peacefully.
There was a pool and it looked very inviting, however it was not open until mid month, a sad negative to us upon arrival.
I did take notice for those rv camping they also provided full hook ups and cable. To all campers wifi was available as well.

Overall this campground gets 5 of 5 Bunnies. The security of code locked facilities as well as comfortable facilities made for a pleasant experience in Las Cruces as a pass through city on our venture.
TravelerGreat location and very clean. Sunset was great.
GuideGravel lot but had cement pavers for tires to pull on. Campground clean and well cared for but small. We are 60 feet connected and had to carefully navigate through . We went the wrong way and had to back up because we missed first turn on our map. Campground quiet .
LegendFriendly staff, full of amenities, close to everything. Shade was a bit lacking but think it's just the climate here.
TravelerWell managed KOA, with typical close spaces, but tidy, quiet and some surprisingly nice views.
GuideWe stayed here 1 night on our cross country trip. Not sure what to expect, we were very surprised!
The owners are upgrading the park ... new cabins, gravel well maintained, nice dog runs (however some people didn't pick up!), great layout for pulling in and pulling out. Full KOA amenities of course.
We thought it would have road noise and not well positioned, but it sits on a hill and you can see the city lights at night and we didn't hear any road noise at night either!
We had a pull through site with full hook ups. They have concreate runs for your rig to sit level (NICE) and we didn't need to unhook.
The laundry room as warm (could be AC'd better), but besides that ... VERY nice KOA! The staff was more than friendly and helpful. They had crews working new landscaping and installing lots of improvements ... if you need a place to pull over ... this is it.
GuideThe mountains were gorgeous. The campground sits on a hill and you have a great view of Las Cruces with the mountains in the background. Very clean. They are renovating and the improvements look great. Especially the tent camping area. We didn't have tents this time but would stay here with tents. Wifi is good.
ScoutPulled in after dark without a reservation. Luckily there were a few spots left as I couldn’t drive another mile. Easy access from the I-10, park looked really nice, even in the daylight. Great views as the park is on the hilltop. Would use again if passing through.
RangerThis is a spotlessly clean resort with the usual KOA Journey amenities. What’s special here is the VIEWS. Don’t pass up a chance to visit here. Ps. Internet speed is great and streaming is allowed.
TravelerI worked for a few days in Las Cruces and I don't typically stay in developed campgrounds, especially off major interstates. What a treat this place was. I was very impressed at the quality, cleaniness, and care that has gone into maintaining this facility. Very friendly. It's on the list every time now heading down the I10. About 1 hour from White Sands.
TravelerMy first time at a KOA- clean, easily accessible and a bit spendy for what is there.
GuideNicely tucked away with exceptional sites. Would absolutely stay here again.
GuideCalled in day of for reservation for 1 night, very friendly. Great spot that fit us, had to back up in the morning to dump black tank but that’s not that big of a deal. Would stay again.
TravelerWe stayed there for the nice just passing through NM. We got in pretty late and it was dark. The believe it was the manager saw us pulling in and made additional room for us to fit. Extremely friendly staff, clean park and some complimentary it's in the morning as well. I would definitely stay here again. Looks like they are in the process of expanding. I look forward to seeing what they come up with in the future.
Because of this place, I do plan on getting a KOA membership. Seems KOA is everywhere and awesome to stay at.
Thank you Las Cruces KOA.
TravelerFantastic views, friendly staff. Clean digs. Some improvements maybe for the camp kitchen. We stayed in the tent Cabin 2 and loved every minute of it. It was cold and it heated up quickly. Everything we needed for a nice stay and the bed was comfy.
GuideOverlooking Las Cruces with unobstructed views of mountains in distance. Would stay here & pick same site again in future.
GuideWe checked Aaron's and most RV parks in town were parking lots. This is a very nice campground with great landscaping and helpful staff. We chose one of the sites that day you have to park your car elsewhere, but our for on the site, paid $53.
GuideNicely laid out KOA with a number of different site types. The staff is super nice! Everything seems new. The roads are a mix of asphalt and gravel. Nice playground. We stayed in #26 which is a "View" site. Our site was pretty wide and we had plenty of room for our table in addition to the provided bench/table. At sunset, it was perfect to sit behind the camper and look out over downtown Las Cruces. Not to mention the nighttime view out of the back window (see picture) Some of the sites (especially some of the pull-through sites are more narrow and did not give a lot of space for any outdoor activity.
GuideVery good looking park. Grounds are nice and seem well maintained. Features a good looking basketball court, dog run area, child run area, and picnic area. Couldn't use the pool because it closes at 7pm - LAME!
Bathroom was old feeling, cramped, and a bit smelly. I had two silverfish in the shower with me that I didn't invite.
My site was one with no sewer hookup and I appreciate that cheaper option. Site had a picnic table and fire ring.
GuideThis is a very clean and organized KOA. One of the best I’ve stayed at. Nice showers and dog park. Located up on the hill so you have nice views.
TravelerEasy access off the I10 and very close to town and stores and restaurants . The campground is set up on a hill providing beautiful 180 degree views. The staff person in the office was wonderful, professional and helpful. There is a nicely stocked store. The park is very clean and the utilities were in great shape and easy to connect. There is a concrete pad assuring a level site. The picnic table was the nicest that we have seen, it was very clean, in perfect condition and made from great material. It is a lovely campground and we’ll be back.
GuideThis was our only experience with a KOA and for being a chain campground it was better than we expected. I think this is probably one of the better KOAs compared to ones we’ve driven past. It’s not on the busiest road like others are. So it was somewhat quiet. It had a nice view. The open air kitchen it offered was top notch and a nice break from cooking on our propane camping stove. We were the only ones in the tent sites so that probably made the experience better because we enjoy solitude. I’m sure it gets filled in the warmer months. The people working there are nice. The showers are warm. No complaints really.
RangerWe only stayed one night but this was a convenient location or far off the highway. Bathroom was clean and staff was nice. Large clean dog park. Nice views of the city. Some sites back up to the view and they also behave a path and pier pit with a view. Looks like they are making improvements to the park.
