I'm wondering how KOA makes the distinction between a "Journey" and a "Holiday"? Some of the KOA Journeys we've stayed at were meticulously maintained and had as much in the way of amenities as any RV "resort". This particular KOA "Holiday" did not meet those expectations at all. Gravel roads and fairly well-spaced sites, poor overall maintenance of the grounds. Hookups fairly easy. Wifi non-existent. Amenities looked like they hadn't been used or cared-for in decades. We were here to visit the Caverns (closed) and Guadalupe Mountains (open). The town of Carlsbad itself is an oil field town; dusty and blue-collar hard working folks. The CG could and should do a better job to deserve it's label.

We had to cancel our trip due to the government shutdown of the caves. The lady on the phone was extremely pleasant to work with. I stayed here twice as a kid with my family and have some of the best memories from those trips. We wanted to bring our kids and create new memories. Sorry, we weren't able to make it, thank you for understanding and being helpful. We will definitely reschedule our trip at some point hopefully in the near future.

I recently stayed 3 nights at your campground. We were warned of the calcium rich water - not to drink it (which we didn’t) but that it was alright to bath. Only 3 nights completely covered our shower doors in soap scum and mineral buildup. Worse than that - I have had a scalp infection flare up that is the most severe of my life. I’m was just n significant pain and had to cut our trip short to get home to a doctor. I find it irresponsible that they are not treating the water supply to the campground in a better way. In my opinion your water is basically not safe for use. Your campground was great and your people and service were outstanding. We loved the place - but I will never come back and feel as though I should post reviews warning people of this significant health risk. I sent this feedback to the campground staff with no response at all.
