Nice park we had a level gravel pull through full hookups. All the normal KOA amenities clean bathrooms and laundry didn’t use the pool. Park is in an industrial area but once in the park you would never know it. Easy check in, easy in and out. Friendly staff

What a suprising gem of a KOA Journey campground! We spent four nights here to see the sights and were totally impressed with the high level of care and maintenance this CG displayed throughout. Our premium site was easy to get to, level gravel, easy hookups, and had a nice patio with furniture, a gas grill and a swing! We also appreciated the switchable dark sky lighting in the site. Wifi was really quite good for streaming. Nice amenities as well -- all were clean and very well maintained. While in Alamagordo, we visited White Sands NP, the Space Museum, Pistachio Land, and Cloudcroft -- all are recommended. A special and unexpected find was D.H. Lescombes Winery & Bistro on the main drag. Served their own branded wine (very good!) and had a great menu of really well-prepared, flavor-filled food.

Another great stay, 1 night, passing through Alamagordo. Sandy and her staff are the best! Efficient, thoughtful, pleasant, making us feel welcome again. We had one of the large, pull-through spaces with a patio, fire pit, table and chairs, close to the store. Clean with great hook-ups. Enjoy your stay.

The RV spot itself was a little tight to pull in to, but they know their stuff and it was a perfect amount of space for the RV with the slide out. They had sleds to borrow to go to the dunes. Sandy was very nice at check in. The pool was very refreshing and clean. The youngest we had with us enjoyed the playground and the rec room was fun with ping pong and games.

Fantastic stop on our 12-day RV trip! The campground was clean, quiet, and well-maintained. Loved having access to the pool and laundry to recharge mid-trip. The staff was friendly and gave great local tips for food and sights. Super convenient for visiting White Sands. Highly recommend this KOA!
