SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Reservations are available year-round at Lubbock KOA, with nightly rates running $30 to $44 depending on site type. Full hookups including electric, water, and sewer accommodate RVs up to 55 feet, and the campground sits close enough to Lubbock that resupply runs are straightforward, with a Walmart and other services a short drive away. Late check-in is easy and sites are clearly marked, which makes arriving after dark less stressful than at many comparable stops.

Noise is the most consistent concern across reviews, and it is worth taking seriously before booking. The campground sits adjacent to a busy highway and active rail lines, and multiple campers note that trains blow their horns through the night. Tent campers in particular report the sound as significant. Tyler D. describes it as "loud ALL night," comparing passing semis to trucks going through a living room. RV walls may dampen the effect somewhat, but light sleepers should come prepared with earplugs regardless of their setup.

The facilities lean toward the well-equipped side for a highway stopover. An indoor pool, hot tub, playground, and dog park round out the standard KOA amenities of showers, laundry, and a camp store. Shade trees are present across the property. One reviewer noted that Starlink works well here, and the campground's own WiFi is listed as an included amenity. The back side of the park along the main road is unfenced, which is worth factoring in for anyone traveling with kids or pets.

"Clean place to stop for the night, while traveling through," notes Lisa, and that framing captures how most reviewers use this location. It functions primarily as a transit stop rather than a destination in itself. Campers exploring sites near Lubbock will find other options in the area, including Red Raider RV Park and Richards RV Park to the northwest. If this KOA fits your route, booking ahead is advisable during summer months when the campground fills up.

Many campers appreciated the clean facilities, indoor pool, and friendly staff at this well-maintained KOA. Highway and train noise at night was a notable concern for several guests, though most found good value in the family-friendly amenities.

A basic KOA that needs some TLC

This is my second time visiting this particular KOA campground. As always the staff is very friendly, however this location is beginning to show its age and is looking rather run down. Please see attached photos for more details.

It should also be noted that this campground is next to the freeway and a major rail line. If you are tent camping this may be a problem due to noise.

Not what I expected from a KOA.

My first visit to a KOA, not really what I expected, but it's twice as much $, than the nonbranded campground I stayed in last. It's adequate. Got remember, it's by a college town? That probably keeps the prices high?

Nice for a quick stop through

We only stayed one night while on our way through the area but it was convenient for the use of bathrooms and shower. Has an indoor pool and little recreational center. There are things close by if you need a Walmart or quick bite.

Clean, convenient place to stop for the night.

Clean place to stop for the night, while traveling through.  It was a good value in terms of price. Fairly quiet at night.

One item to consider is that the back side of the park, right off the main (busy) road, was not fenced.  So, it may be a consideration if you are traveling with kids, pets or by yourself.  Did feel safe, overall.

Quick overnight

This was actually my first time staying at a KOA facility. Late checkin was very easy and I had no problem finding the site at night. Place was pretty full but I still felt like I had my own space. Will definitely stay here again when passing through.

Pretty nice Journey KOA

We’ve stayed at some rough journey koas before, but this one was pretty nice. The only down side was you could hear trains at night and it was close 84 and you could hear road traffic. Other than that it was clean and the sites were easily marked.

Good Park

I stayed here for one overnight stop. The sites were small in my opinion but they had a good dog park and we’re friendly and it was a safe campground.

Functional but LOUD

Has the standard KOA amenities (bathroom, shower, laundry, etc), but also has a hot tub, indoor pool, and a pretty decent offering of supplies for sale in the main office.

The downside here, and why it loses stars, is that it is right next to a busy highway, which is loud ALL night. It sounded like a semi truck going through my living room, which it basically was. Also next to train tracks, where the trains blow horn passing through. I somehow managed to sleep through a lot of it, but any light sleeper won’t get a wink. I was in a tent so maybe RV dampens the sound somewhat, but it was ridiculous that they put a place for people to sleep right next to such constant and intense noise.

The shower house could use some maintenance, and the front desk lady quipped that they should put a TV in the laundry room but someone would just steal it, which didn’t instill confidence about the safety of the campground.

Great Stay for Travelers

A good KOA! Some shade, nice staff,, picnic tables, an indoor pool, a hot tub, and a nice little walk around the park all make this place a good stay. Not too crowded and not overpriced. A good place to take kids it seems, big playground right next to the pool. Our pups loved it too. Thanks Lubbock KOA!
