Best Cabin Camping near Playas, NM

This KOA is a convenient pit stop when crossing Southern New Mexico on Rt. 10. The gravél covered acre has been nicely landscaped around the perimeter. Road noise from the highway is heavy. The very clean shower dressing area was barely big enough to turn around in. All amenities are available including propane, which was served up by a grumpy technician.

It’ll be nice when New Mexico opens its’ State Parks to camping again so touring the State becomes possible.

A beautiful get away.

We are birders and were happy with the proximity to many mountain canyons.  Our space was private with a nice patio.  Everyone was easy going and friendly.  The dog park was convenient and clean.

Very nice place, well maintained. Very quiet place too. Perfect for astronomer / stargazing. Concrete pad (could support 2 telescopes) are available with power outlet to run all astronomy gear. Bring some tie down, the wind could be very strong. Highly recommend this place.

(Very poor wifi internet connection)

I was there 3 times in 8 months… August, February and April.

Rusty does a lot to keep this little rv park a cool place to visit. She’s built trails and has goats/birds that the campers can interact with. Showers are lovely. The gathering hall and laundry room is clean and inviting.

Nice sites that are well spaced.  All roads and sites are dirt, so it can get a bit dusty, especially when the wind blows.  AT&T was about four bars of 4g and Verizon is one bar of 4g, not very good.  Bring supplies because the closest place for decent shopping is Douglas, AZ about 55 miles south.

Rusty runs a tight ship, and the state of the campground reflects that.  All services work properly and facilities are neat and clean.  Price is $35 per night and absolutely no refunds are given for any reason (you sign a separate agreement to that effect).

Nice CG for our overnight stay. Plenty of amenities. Guy in the office was very helpful. Level gravel spots, FHUs were in good order. Road noise from I-10 and trains on the Southrn Pacific - not a bother for us. We would stay here again.

The bathrooms were a little outdated but that didn’t take away from how well kept the bathrooms were. Especially when I got there after hours. The water pressure for the shower in the bathroom was decent. It was a darker lot, which I’m not mad about because I don’t like sun beaming in the camper anyways. Made a reservation with a man on the phone, he was very nice. Came after hours & had no problem with it. The “dog park” isn’t the best of the KOAs I’ve been to.. but it’s better than nothing. If I was passing through, I’d stay again. & also, the pool wasn’t filled. Not sure why..

Our Space was level and had good Wi-Fi . Felt safe and got a good nights rest. Dirt and gravel.

Nice campground convenient about half way between Tucson and El Paso for us. Campground was very easy in and out, town is declining but appears safe, sheriff vehicle just in front of campground. Campground was close to 10 but not to bad noise wise. We had a very scenic drive up into mountains to silver city, cute old town, we passed through Gila national forrest , it's about 45 miles, but a very easy nice drive on very good roads. I would stay here again passing through, only 3 channels on air tv, but they have included cable of about 20 channels. This campground is very close or in the dust bowl area, but was not bad while we were there and it was a little windy. Enjoyed our stay.

Tucked in behind a small neighborhood just off I-10. We'll placed signs direct you to the campground, just in case you think you're in the wrong area. Depending on the time of year, there may be some snow on the ground. This campground is in great proximity to the Continental Divide Trail, if that's your thing.

Stayed one night on the way to Tucson, nice facilities are nice and clean and the clerk at the counter was friendly. I would stay here again!

This campground is halfway between Tucson and El Paso and makes it a convenient to stop if you’ve been driving through like we were. It’s a very dusty campground ⛺️. The areas are nicely separated and it’s was good for a night. They have a camp store and good size bathroom with showers and several sinks. It’s an older KOA and not as nice as a lot of others I’ve stayed at. It’s definitely nice to have internet and service. The campground is located within a small, kind of rundown town. There is a grocery store within a mile which was good for grabbing stuff to make dinner if you don’t already have it.

The area we stayed in was for tenters however, there are various areas for RV’ers.

They have a swimming pool in season (May 15-September 15, game room, free cable TV, free wireless internet, and a Camping Kitchen ready for group events. An activity center is available for groups as well as food service on certain days. Max pull thru: 80 feet.

We travel with our fifth wheel and a utility trailer aka triple tow. It’s hard to find Rv parks that can accommodate 60 plus feet rigs. The staff is very friendly and there’s plenty of space to navigate to the site with more than enough space in between the rigs. The cost is a big high but keep in mind it’s a KOA but as KOA’s go it reasonable.

This is a very basic KOA clean neat but no frills basic desert camping spaces are well space particularly the large ones great for an overnight stop

Staff is not as friendly as other KOAS.

We stayed the night. Arrived around 11:00. The office is split hours with morning and afternoon. We arrived during the break. Check in was like after hours. Our site was listed and a map was provided. We stopped by the office at 2:00 when the afternoon shift was there. Got the customary sheet/map with door codes and WiFi password. The pool was closed, but hey..... it’s very early spring. Our site had 30 amp service (was listed as 50 amp I believe). Not a problem in March. The WiFi was excellent, the cable has 40 some channels, the provided paper only listed 20 stations. But our Firestick and their WiFi.... we survived. :-) Full hookups, all in good condition. Gravel parking sites. We tried to find something interesting but it’s Lordsburg. We did eat lunch at a very nice diner in town Kranberrys Chattwrbox,

Level gravel sites. FHU worked fine; appears to be maintained. Nice staff, well stocked store. Would stay here again.

Chiricahua Mountains. The eastern route to Chiricahua National Monument is dicey in areas. Check with rangers before traversing this route.

Nice large sites for big groups. Sites are a spread out, decent bathrooms.

Small campground best suited for tents or small trailers. Ours is 24 and we just fit. Toilets and great tasting water are the amenities. The hiking and views were amazing as you walked thru the hoodos.

Some of the campgrounds located in the middle island have less privacy but there are still some trees and shrubs to separate them. Sites on the outside are large and very private. There are a ton of trees in the campground which I'm sure are great for shade in the warmer months. We would have loved to see more of the stars but the trees obviously block the views so I would recommend walking out to the road to stargaze at night. The bathrooms, while dated, were clean and functional. We were apprehensive about needing to make a fire in the BBQ grill but it was actually quite nice and kept our hands warm while playing cards. Everything in the National Monuments is very accessible from the campground.
