We were brought to the KOA last night about midnight because we had an emergency on the highway and our tow truck driver pulled our fifth wheel to this campsite so that we could at least be comfortable for the night. We really appreciate Sandy and getting us a spot because it was at a highlight of the season for the hot air balloon festival and everything was full, but she was able to get us a spot with water and electricity, which is all we really needed just to rest. Park is very nice. It’s very quiet and a lot of amenities that we didn’t get to enjoy because we were just stopping over. I highly recommend this place and we will be back.

Great Stay at Albuquerque KOA We had a great stay at the Albuquerque KOA! The campground was clean, well maintained, and easy to access from the main road. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made check-in simple. Our site was level and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Stayed for two days and liked the level site and quiet accomodations. Right on the Interstate but the state-erected sound wall is totally effective. No sounds...Very nice bathroom setup with 'family' style restrooms. Behind each door is a sink, a separate shower, and a toilet in a stall. Very private and very nice!

This is probably one of the ugliest KOA campgrounds I have ever stayed at — and I travel a lot and visit KOA locations very often across many states. The cabin itself is standard, exactly the same type you find at KOA campgrounds all over the U.S. However, the price is clearly overpriced for this level of accommodation.

This is probably one of the ugliest KOA campgrounds I have ever stayed at — and I travel a lot and visit KOA locations very often across many states. The cabin itself is standard, exactly the same type you find at KOA campgrounds all over the U.S. However, the price is clearly overpriced for this level of accommodation. The biggest and most unacceptable issue was the lack of bedding. I understand that it may not be included in the price, but when you pay around $100 for a small cabin without a shower or toilet, KOA campgrounds almost always provide bed linens, blankets, and at least pillows. I honestly don’t think it’s a good idea to call this a place to “relax” when you can’t sleep all night, constantly tossing and turning on a cold rubber mattress. Every time you wake up and move even slightly, you immediately feel the freezing, unpleasant, icy surface of the mattress. It completely ruins any chance of rest. Is it really that difficult to provide basic bedding? Do people who travel from state to state seriously carry their own sheets and blankets with them? That seems very strange. What makes this even more unreasonable is that the price of this cabin is only $20–30 cheaper than a standard hotel room. In a hotel, you get proper bedding, towels, shampoo, conditioner, housekeeping, and overall comfort — for just a few dollars more. Charging this amount of money for such uncomfortable conditions simply does not make sense. Because of the lack of bedding, we had to improvise a blanket from a pillow and anything we could find, and sleeping without sheets was extremely uncomfortable. The night was absolutely awful. Another serious issue was that there was no toilet paper in the restroom, which is completely unacceptable. The location is also very noisy due to a large highway located right next to the campground. If you are expecting peace and quiet at night, you will not find it here. Overall, this is a very average and unattractive KOA, and the price is completely unjustified for the level of comfort provided. Pros: • Wi-Fi worked well • The night check-in desk worked properly • The cabin was easy to find using the provided instructions • The cabin was clean • The restrooms were clean •VERY FRIENDLY STUFF!

For an urban campground, this one is nice. The grounds & facilities are in excellent condition, the staff is exceptional and the rates are on par with the industry standard. There's a security gate that closes in the evening which gives you peace of mind. Guests are given a code, so you can go out on the town or, if you are a late arrival. The location is good for exploring what Albuquerque has to... For an urban campground, this one is nice.
