A truly exceptional KOA experience. This team turned a stressful situation into a blessing. My boyfriend and I broke down in Albuquerque on our way to Phoenix, and by pure luck we found this KOA just a few minutes away. We pulled in around midnight, exhausted and stressed, and were greeted by the kindest soul, Sandy. She listened to our situation with genuine care, checked us in with a smile, and immediately made us feel safe and supported. You can tell that Sandy loves her job and truly cares about the people who come through this park. Her kindness that night set the tone for everything that followed, and I will never forget that first interaction. What we thought would be a one-week stay has now turned into several weeks while our truck is being repaired, and the entire KOA staff has gone above and beyond for us. When we came back to the office to break the news that our situation had gotten much worse, Kellie and Justin stepped in right away, booked us for the month, applied every discount they could, and genuinely tried to help us save money. They didn't treat us like "just another reservation" they treated us like real people going through something hard, and that level of compassion is rare. The hiring manager has struck gold with this team. Every employee we've met has been kind, helpful, and clearly invested in keeping this park running smoothly. The property is clean, well-maintained, and feels safe. There is nightly security, the laundry room is spotless (which is NOT the norm for many RV parks), and you can tell the staff works around the clock to take care of the grounds. Our site is spacious with plenty of room between neighbors, and every person we've met here has been friendly and respectful. The views are beautiful, and we've genuinely felt at peace here, even in the middle of a really stressful life moment. I'll be honest, I had sworn off KOAs in the past after several disappointing experiences... but this KOA changed my entire perspective. Because of Sandy, Kellie, Justin, and the rest of the team here, I will happily give KOA another chance at future stops, this is what every KOA should aim to be. To the entire Albuquerque KOA staff: thank you, thank you, thank you. Your kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help has meant more than you know. You turned one of the worst parts of our trip into something we'll remember with gratitude. Truly, a God-sent team. read more

Just really pricey for what it is. Was given the wrong gate code and had to wait for a while.

This KOA over charges for everything! Most of the lot doesn't have sewer connections and they charge full price. If you want sewer, it's double priced. I had to stay another day for work on my truck and I was offered 20% off on "add a day" Then they charged me full price, This was the exact employee who told me it was 20% discount to add a day. I've never seen such high prices, no wonder the place is always empty and when booking, the App automatically says few options and "last one" Please! They are 1/2 empty most times. read more

Friendly staff Super clean sites and bathrooms! Highly recommend them if traveling through! Love how dog friendly they are too, we even had a site with our own private dog run which was awesome read more

Albuquerque Central KOA - Campgrounds Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We took our dogs to the dog park, and when we open the second gate, the dog that was inside charged out and attacked our dogs. As we were separating the dogs, the owner ran over screaming "f you" over and over. So, not only were our dogs being attacked, we were being screamed at. The man ended up pushing my husband all because his dog should not have been anywhere near a dog park. Turns out, that man is an employee of KOA named David. Rocko, the manager, tried to justify the whole thing by saying that not all dogs get along. That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard, since the rules of the dog park state that mean dogs should not be allowed. Also, David's dog being an issue is less of a problem. The fact that an employee would curse at paying customers AND put his hands on them is insane. David and Rocko need to get a new job because they make this entire place terrible. read more

I feel the need to defend this place because I was very scared to stay here after reading the reviews, lol. Very clean looking and smelling bathrooms. We didn't see any cockroaches. The surrounding neighborhood is fine. We didn't feel unsafe at all. Some of the best amenities we've seen: very dog friendly, mini golf, lots of space to walk around. Overall we'd stay here again! read more

This was our second stay at a KOA and we stayed the night at the individual tent site. It was great except for the crickets singing ALL. NIGHT. LONG. We were threatened with a thunderstorm but one never came, just high winds. The kids thought it was "so cool" to be in a tent in a storm. Lol We were greeted by friendly staff when we arrived. The kids had fun riding the little bikes around the camp ground. We stayed again and no crickets this time but we did have some rain. The kids had a blast inside our tent with the rain. Lol read more

Clean facilities friendly helpful staff. Would highly recommend in the future. Nice and quiet as well read more

We had a great time here. The bunk beds for our kiddos were the best part. The log cabin feel with the comforts of home after traveling all day. The staff our very courteous and friendly. The general store on sight was great, with anything you could possibly need while staying there. We will definitely be back. read more

we just got here we love the area and the pool and juckozi and dog park it's a nice rv park for family and dog parks for all kinds of dogs

Let me start by saying we did not have an RV, we were camping for the night. It's a pretty basic spot, very close to the highway, which is convenient when you're driving a lot. The surrounding neighborhood is a little scary, but the entire property is fenced in. While their RV facilities may be good, this is not a place I would recommend to camp in a tent. They only have a few spots designated for tents and they are all under a GIANT highway billboard with incredibly bright spotlights attached to it. You can hear every single car on the highway and it just isn't peaceful at all. Add this to the fact that there were terrible winds that night as well (obviously not the fault of the campground), and every time a gust came through it tried to lift our tents! Our bodies were literally the only things keeping them from blowing away. A good place to stop if you have anywhere indoors to sleep, but not if you're going to be outside. read more

Nice, clean, friendly. This is an RV park with big rigs and clean level parking, full hookups, dog runs, well managed setup. We found it convenient as a jumping off point for our visits to Albuquerque and Santa Fe. read more

Great park! Lots to do! Good for a family with kids stoping for a night or two. Staff is helpful! The area around the park could be rated unsafe. But we felt completely safe inside read more

Albuquerque Central KOA - Campgrounds Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Not pet friendly unless you pay an extra $60+ per night. I couldn't afford that. The spots have sharp rocks, no patio area and no shade for $115 per night. The staff was okay and flamboyantly nice , when we asked questions. Laundry was expensive ($2.50 wash, $2.00 to dry) per load. Tight turnarounds and curbs everywhere. One extra star for pull throughs. read more

Clean & Welcoming. Of the 3 KOA's we've stayed at this ranks highest. Pool, showers, and grounds are clean. I would recommend this facility and would have no problem staying again. read more

I want to give this place five stars but I just can't. The sites are super clean and private. There is a pool, hotel tub, mini golf, so many amenities!! Bill checked us in and was very nice. Considering the private water spout, nice showers and bathrooms, and electrical charging station, we had everything that we needed. My one complaint is that the tent sites are just so close to the highway the road noise is impossible. I'm sure it's fine in an RV or one of the cabins, but it made it super difficult to sleep. read more

Many cockroaches in and around the restrooms/shower area. Showers needed cleaned. Hard to sleep because the nearby highway is extremely loud. Huge advertising sign that illuminates the entire campsite. Worst tent camping set up I have ever seen at a KOA. Worst KOA in the state and surrounding states. Not worth the money. read more

Not a A very marijuana friendly environment nonetheless the view the air and they cute little tenting sites give it a four out of five star rating overall experience. However smoking a joint inside of our tent with the tent window zipped up, And we had a complaint within 20 minutes b igniting our white grape white owl blunt. I'm going to have to believe in my heart of hearts that was only done out of jealousy, because excepting that someone acted as if our inside tent blunt hurt them in some way, however the alternative is wrapping my mind around how common and petty some people's lives must be in as a hole for them to take their Friday night and bother Themselves with what was in my tent, someone by that family some HBO. read more

We used this park as an overnight stay The staff was very friendly and helpful They escort you to your campsite which is very nice The pool was closed for the season, however the enclosed hot tube was still open and a great way to relax after a day of driving read more

We were all very pleased with our cabin and the campground amenities. They had fun things for the kids to do including mini golf, bounce pad by the family size covered picnic area, and an enclosed hot tub (pool closed for season). ABQ KOA Journey has a Dog park on premises and pet clean up stations in several locations. We noticed that some pull in spots had a pet enclosure for private use. We rented a deluxe cabin which included a queen size bed, pull out sofa and small room with two twin-size bunkbeds. Everything was nicely updated, clean and perfect for our family of six. Our unit had a full-size tub in the bathroom, good size mini fridge, microwave, kitchen sink and dinning table with chairs. The kitchen had everything we needed including a Keurig coffee maker. We had ceiling fans, a/c, the unit was climate controlled and there were extra heaters available within the cabin. Fresh towels, bedding, good pillows and mattresses. Outside we had a Patio set with seating, gas grill, fire pit, additional seating, and parking for our van. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and even delivered firewood to us upon request. The general store by the front entrance had our immediate needs (s'mores supplies). We were able to bring our pet dog along for the trip which was wonderful. This is not in the forest - it's in town so you do hear the street noise but it didn't bother us at all. The value way surpassed any surrounding area or street noise. We felt safe at this gated campground and will return. read more

Great service!. They bring you a fire pit and wood. Chean camp, only downside is the freeway noise Great for an overnight! read more

The best KOA we have ever stayed at and we have visited several! This place is awesome. The premium sites are fancy. They have a really nice employee show you to your spot with a golf cart! They also delivered our firewood. They had curbside check in due to Covid. They were wearing masks and very safe. Other KOA's could and should visit this KOA for tips. Lol. We would definitely visit again! :) read more

Albuquerque Central KOA - Our Premium site on Halloween with a Campfire under a Blue Moon! Good times. - Campgrounds Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Upon arrival in our motorhome we wanted to top off propane and let the staff know our intentions. They let 2 other customer get propane ahead of us then made us go around rather than having the pickup truck move. On the way to the site we had to stop 3 times because of a toyhauler ramp down, cornhole game in the street and car too far out in the road. Narrow site and not a blade of grass anywhere. Lots of highway noise at night and manned security gate at night due to unsafe neighborhood. Paid for 2 days but left after one night. read more

We stayed in cabin no. 2 and it was a great stay. Cabin came equipped with a small refrigerator and a 22in flat screen. The room was cool throughout the hot day and comfortable at night. Bathrooms are close and require a code. They keep them super clean. I would recommend a stay here. Only down side is that the area seems a bit sketchy but the KOA closes the gates and has a gate attendant at night. Makes it feel safe. read more

Albuquerque Central KOA - Super cute cabin! We enjoyed our stay. - Campgrounds Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The bathrooms smell like sewer, the RV pads are super narrow and the sewer hook ups are really far back on the pad so you have to unhook your vehicle to park.There is RV storage in the back and looks like a salvage yard. For the price you pay at KOA's it is not worth it. The staff was really friendly and the store was clean. Just sad read more

Enjoyed the ease in arrival, setting up and cleanliness of the RV park. There are nice picnic tables in each spot. Walked around, it is big and pet friendly, There is a chain link sectioned dog park. There are cabins available to rent and tent camping areas. We met happy RVers that have been staying longer. We will definitely be back. read more

Let's keep this simple. There are definitely some positives to report: 1)The campground was clean as can be. 2) I liked the service of being escorted to our designated site by an employee driving a golf cart. 3) Our small tent site provided a privacy fence, fire pit with iron grill, a wooden shelter/shade, and a picnic table. However, as another Yelper mentioned, the location leaves a lot to be desired. It's right off the freeway and you'll hear the semis whizzing by, sirens, and horns. It definitely doesn't feel like camping. In general, I think this KOA would best serve the RV crowd. read more

Stayed in the small cabins on 2 different occasions. 1 time during balloon fiesta. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The grounds and restrooms were always clean, even during fiesta! Location is close to many local activities we wanted to participate in while visiting ABQ area. No complaints. read more

This was a really nice campground and very dog friendly. They have spots that I had dog kennels that attached to the site. I definitely would recommend that if you have animals. They have a pool in the playground and the campground seems very clean. The only thing that I didn't like about this campground is that it was $100 a night. Out of all the campgrounds that we were staying in the country this was one of the most expensive ones. We wanted to see what all the hype was about and honestly it was not worth $100. I've seen RV parks I have beautiful water features that are cheaper than $100. Also entering it's a locked gate and you have to call the attendant to open it if you come after hours. We had to call twice and the attendant look like she was sleeping on duty. read more

We are full time RVers and we stopped at this KOA on a cross country trip from Washington state to Florida. We are arrived after the sun had fallen. As we set up shop, all you could see crawling on the gravel was tons of COCKROACHES. Worse infestation than I've ever seen even in Florida. Pleased to be leaving first thing in the morning. The pull thru we received, it is too short to even fit the rig and trailer that we had to disconnect for a quick overnight stay. read more

Disappointed that we did not have a firepit. The park is clean and well kept. It is an urban park near the freeway. It's good for an overnight stop but I wouldn't make it a destination. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'm taking off two stars for the no firepit, no picnic table, and the price was a little high for water and electric only without these amenities. read more

This is a great place to stay. We were passing through and got into town early. It wasn't far away from anything we saw! There are many things for the kids to do too! Pool, new playground, miniature golf, bikes to rent. The only downfall was that dog park (and everything else) was gravel. It was too hot to put your dogs on in middle of the day. It burnt the bottoms of my feet so it would do the same to dogs!! It has a closed gate at night so felt safe too! read more

Great RV park very nice staff which is important! Loved the Amenities and the cleanliness. My family and me had a great time and we enjoyed the location. This was a very nice KOA!!!! read more

Very disappointed in this K away. There are cockroaches an inch long ubiquitous in the dog park and also at our campsite. The bathrooms were not cleaned for three days. There is very poor lighting on the stairs leading down to the dog park for evening visits. It's generally not a hygienic park. read more

We arrived late but were met at the gate by Dale W., from Melbourne, FL. We we lead to a very nice spot and everyone was Super Friendly and helpful. Beautiful bathroom/showers. Only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer and enjoy the hot tub, pedal cars or miniature golf!! We Will BE BACK!! read more
