Best Cabin Camping near Mesilla, NM

We 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.

Just spent a few nights at the Las Cruces KOA and it was awesome! The sites are super clean and well-spaced, and we loved the views overlooking the city and mountains—especially at night with the lights. https://mapsdirectionsdriving.com/ staff was really friendly and helpful. Big shoutout to the clean restrooms(yes, marble floors!) and the dog park, which our pup loved.

Wi-Fi worked great(even for Zoom calls), and the pool was a perfect bonus for our warm afternoon. We stayed in a KOA Patio Site with a fire pit, and it was worth it! It’s also super convenient—just off I-10 but still peaceful.

Took a short drive to La Mesilla and the farmers market in Las Cruces—definitely recommend both. White Sands is also not too far if you’re up for a day trip. We planned for one night but stayed three—totally worth it!

After 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.
