  Las Cruces KOA

  Fantastic scenic spot

  Fantastic 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.

  Las Cruces KOA

  Really nice KOA

  This place was well kept. Loved the camping cabin as a treat after a month of car camping. Hot showers, community kitchen, laundry, dog run. I also staying in one of the tent sites which was available despite the cold. Camping cabins are 1-4 and 3 and 4 are nicer just farther off the road.

  Riverbend Hot Springs

  Amazing, unique experience

  These hot springs are FANTASTIC! This was our 2nd time here and we will make an effort to come back anytime we pass through the area.

  They only have 5 RV spots, and they are COMPETITIVELY booked. Each time we've stayed we have been lucky enough to get cancelation bookings. Each site is big rig friendly, with easy back-in parking. We were in site 4 and had no trouble parking our 37ft 5th wheel with long truck (55ft total). Each site is full hookups with cable and free high speed wifi, and a picnic table. Current rates are 75/night for week days and 95/night for weekends. RV stays include access to the public pools and areas (during operating hours) from the time of your check in to your check out time the next morning. You can't beat that value!! Site includes 2 adults and you can add more for 30/person per night. I recommend going during the week so you basically have the place to yourself. RVs only, no vans, tents, or truck/car camping.

  They also have a nice RV for rent, or they have casitas/hotel rooms that look gorgeous and some even have their own private yards with soaking pools. You can even rent a private soaking pool easily online or at the front desk. All the pools are beautiful and clean and every part of the hot springs property is perfectly manicured and so relaxing. They have a cute common area with coffee and tea, and a shared cooking area. You can rent towels and robes, and they have a small gift shop. These hot springs do not feel touristy, but instead quaint and relaxing. The cost is very reasonable and you can tell they put a lot of heart and soul into the grounds.

  The views are to die for. The soaking pools overlook the rio grande river with mountains in the background. I have never been to a hot springs better than this one, and you can park your RV right across the street! Perfection.

  Las Cruces KOA

  Great New Mexico Stop

  We stopped on either end of our trip to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. It was a great midway point from home. We stayed in a patio site. The site was spacious and level. A fire pit with chairs, a propane grill, and table with 4 chairs was provided. The kids enjoyed cornhole, basketball, tetherball, and the playground. The store was well stocked. I only wish more local products were sold. Many of the items that appeared to be made by Native Americans were actually imported from overseas. We also wish the community room had board games or movies to check out. The coffee and pastries was a great touch! We will definitely be back to explore the area more. Employees were friendly and kind. A great place to stay!

  Faywood Hot Springs

  Best. Place. Ever.

  I was worried that this place wasn’t open due to the fact there were only two reviews and it had been a while since a review. I can happily share that they are open and thriving. I was driving from Gila Cliff Dwellings towards White Sands NP and needed a place to camp. I passed some dispersed camping along the way, but most of the cultivated sites were closed, I’m guessing due to COVID as New Mexico has really cracked down on their camping and I ran into lots of sites that were either closed or only open to residents. Anyway, this place was a STEAL. For only $21 (the typical price of most regular vault toilet and picnic table camp sites), you get heaven on earth. You wouldn’t expect it driving in from either direction, but the sites themselves are extremely shaded and surrounded by trees and as private as possible given the close proximity to neighbors. I stayed at site #47 and even though I was right next to the pools and bathhouse, I couldn’t be seen at all from those places. There’s a potable water tap at EACH campsite, free showers, unlimited 24/7 access to hot springs (clothing required & clothing optional pools), a clubhouse to wash dishes or cook or simply hang out inside in a comfortable chair to read or play games at a table), several bathrooms, phone service (and I didn’t have any driving in or out), peacocks and other wildlife to admire, friendly staff, firewood for sale, labyrinth maze, short scenic trails to watch the sunset and rise, inside facilities, amazing cabins (cheapest one is only $60 and comes with an hour long soak in a private pool which is otherwise $28 for one hour), etc. I could go on and on about this place. The best $21 I have ever spent to spend the night anywhere in my entire life and I am always camping and traveling. A literal oasis. I soaked from 7pm-11pm and had the pools to myself several times on a Sunday evening. Everyone was respectful and there was no sense of party / loud groups as so common is seen at hot springs. Alcohol allowed.

  Hot Springs Glamp Camp

  Wonderful hidden gem! 🌴🛀🌵

  This is a cool & nicely maintained RV/campsite with a few permanent vintage trailers & a yurt. It is only a short walk to Main Street but it is very quiet at night. Highlight: It includes access to incredible mineral water baths built out of kitschy farm troughs!

  The sites are separated by corrugated walls, so there is a nice amount of privacy while still having a cozy, vintage, community feel. The bathrooms are very nicely maintained and clean, and there is an awesome shared space with a fire pit. We planned to come for one night and stayed five! Can’t recommend it enough. Did I mention the mineral baths?!

  Las Cruces KOA

  Best KOA so far

  Very 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.

  Las Cruces KOA

  Views for days and soft tent sites

  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.
