ScoutBeautiful place with GREAT hot springs, lovely grounds, and reasonable rates. Friendly staff, low-key atmosphere. There are small cabins, tent and RV sites. No restaurant. The clothing- optional mineral water pools are delightful. Highly recommended!
ScoutWe don't usually stay at KOA's, largely because we like to be out a bit from the crowd. The owners here accommodated us nicely with a nice site up in a corner. I'm sure the campground is full in season but it was about three quarters full when we were there. Their showers were clean and well kept, the staff was friendly and helpful and they had just installed nice new washers and dryers while we were there. They were redoing the pool and it looked great, even though it wasn't ready to swim in yet. The campground is close to town, restaurants, grocery stores and anything else you'd need while in the Silver City area and yet we enjoyed peace and quiet the entire time.
GuideVery limited office hours. Sites are full hookups and most have trees for privacy. Laundry, restrooms and showers. Good Sam discount.
TravelerWe stayed at the KOA Journey in Lordsburg, New Mexico on New Years Eve. Pulled in around 10:00 PM and rolled out about 10:30 AM, so this was a quick overnight, not a vacation.
I honestly did not know what to expect. In my head I pictured some campers doing a little holiday hangout, maybe a fire, maybe someone brave enough to share a questionable casserole. Nope. This place was as dead as a graveyard. Not a bad thing if you want sleep, but my imagination was doing way too much.
Late check in was easy. Staff left a map in the after hours registration box, and that was a life saver when you pull in late and just want to park and stop thinking.
Campground itself felt clean and basic. Nothing fancy, nothing sketchy. I did not use the restrooms at all, we used our trailer bathroom, so I cannot speak on the bathrooms.
What I did notice, they have a fenced dog run area, looks roughly 30 feet by 15 feet. There is a playground with a teepee and some little kid swings. There is a clubhouse type building with picnic tables out front and a basketball hoop. They also have a few small cabins you can rent, and one labeled “deluxe cabin” that looks a little bigger, plus it has its own private sitting area with walls around it. I am guessing it is for blocking wind and giving a little privacy, and there is a cover for shade.
Our hookups worked fine, no drama, and we had a nice little picnic table at the site. I also saw a propane tank setup, so I am assuming they sell propane if you need it. Also, random detail, there is an old phone booth on the property and it made me laugh, felt like stepping into 1993 for a second.
Overall, it did exactly what we needed, quiet, simple, clean, and easy to check in late. I would stay again for an overnight stop. If you are looking for a campground with a bunch of action, this probably aint it. I am giving it 4 stars for a solid no hassle night.
LegendWe had a minor problem with our camper and needed a place to stay so we could do the fixes. This KOA was close so we landed here. The road to the park has a few abandoned building but once you get here it is safe a secure. The sites are graveled and they are close together, but we came in October and it was fairly empty. Although they do seem to have a few long term campers. It is quiet at night in the park, but you can hear the train and the I10 freeway close by. The park has a great laundry room although I picked the day all the full time residents were doing laundry as well so it was crowded and took longer that I expected. They have a clubhouse, store, playground, pool and super clean bathrooms. They offer WIFI and cell coverage is decent. Staff was helpful and even came over to the office to check us in during their lunchtime. The tent site area has an outdoor sink and the have 3 small cabins and a larger one as well. Overall it was a good stay!
GuideThe Silver City KOA is a wonderful place to stay! The staff are friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Sites are well-maintained with plenty of space, and the amenities — from spotless restrooms to a cozy camp store — make it easy to relax. It’s also a perfect base for exploring Gila Cliff Dwellings and downtown Silver City. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable stay in southwest New Mexico!
ScoutNice widely spaced sites separated by nice juniper evergreens. Place is very tidy and well cared for.
RangerI stayed here during CDT Days. It’s close to downtown. There’s a grocery store within walking distance as well as a Dairy Queen and a Lottaburger. Very quiet. Hot showers. Full hookups. All for $35/night plus tax
ScoutThis 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
