For KOA Holiday Carlsbad: Older KOA an hour’s drive from Carlsbad Caverns. Spacious sites of weedy unlevel gravel. No patios, unless you pay extra for a ‘premium site’. Generally clean and neat save for the back rows of long termers. Pool closed until mid-May.

For KOA Holiday Carlsbad: This is a very nice KOA as in modern and up to date. It is clean and the sites are spacious. It gets a 3-star because it is a KOA as in Keep on Adding... Additional charge for a granddaughter traveling with us. $10 extra for checking in an hour early, when the campground was essentially empty. Another downside is location. It is located a good 10 to 12 miles north of town and every restaurant/gas station "civilization" and over 30-miles from the Caverns. If in the we ever need a campground in Carlsbad again we will look for other options. Let me state for the record that I am NOT a KOA fan. It is that Keep on Adding that drives me away.

For KOA Holiday Carlsbad: This was the second time we have stayed here extended and just love the campground and the staff. We were here for four months this time. The grounds are clean and neat and 90% of sites are pull throughs. Plenty of space between sites. Will definitely stay here again and again.

For KOA Holiday Carlsbad: Very nice park, quiet area, super staff. We stayed 3 nights, ordered BBQ twice and filled our propane tank. We didn’t use any other facilities in the park. Everything was great. Thanks to the friendly staff including Nancy, Kara, Tom, Al and Dakota. It is a long drive to the Carlsbad Caverns but we knew that before booking.

For KOA Holiday Carlsbad: I was surprised to see less than five star reviews here. Complaints about bathrooms, smell, taste of water was not what I experienced. Very spacious sites, great water pressure, great electric and a very friendly staff. If you want access to Guadalupe NP, Carlsbad NP and White Sands NP, then this is a good launching point. Carlsbad nearby has everything you need to stock up on to refresh supplies and don’t miss Sitting Bull Falls. I was here mid June2021.

For KOA Holiday Carlsbad: Excellent customer care, nice clean, flat sites. Ordered dinner first night and got a great meal of smoked pork with all the trimmings delivered to our campsite for only $12.95. We were only going to stay one night but decided to stay a second one and use the laundry facilities. Very clean and well functioning machines. Would recommend this KOA.
