Albuquerque Central KOA

Had family come to visit me, and this where they stayed.
ADORABLE cabins. Beds were comfy enough (a queen and a bunk bed). Cabins have fridge and microwave.
Outside porch has bench and swing, fire pit, grill, and picnic table.
Very, very cute
You could probably find a motel for a little cheaper, but this was definitely more my vibe!
I was a little uncomfortable after the sun went down — the surrounding neighborhood seems less-​than-​desirable, and the cabin was RIGHT on the street, RIGHT at the entrance. I think I would have felt more comfortable had there been lots of other campers there, but it was the middle of the week and we were pretty much the only ones, although way across the lot there were a couple of RVs.
Dog-​friendly
Pool was nice
Staff was VERY friendly

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.

Hardly any trees – right by the I-​40. OK if you want to park a camper in an urban area this is the spot, but other than that. I’d stay in the nearby mountains somewhere just minutes away.

Wish I would have read all the reviews and known it was literally right across the street from a… less than desirable… neighborhood with loud cars, people doing burn outs and young adults outside sitting on their cars drinking and hollering. You need a code to get into a bathroom when they are open. The cabin was nice if it hadn’t back right up to the loud road. We also had an RV spot in our group. The space was not very roomy but at least it was quieter being further into the site. Will not be returning to this KOA mainly because of its location. Also there were no smoke detectors in the cabin, there were holders where they go but none actually there. I feel this is really unsafe especially around 4^th of July.

Our cabin was cute but several lights didn’t work. When we asked management to check them they agreed and then never came by leaving half the cabin in the dark for our 4 night stay. Forgetfulness is apparent in the bathrooms also where clogged toilets and ramen noodles on the sink and in the shower go uncleaned for days. There is a dog park as a plus… at least my pals have a decent place to pee! Lots oh highway noise but close to downtown. We see staff cruising around and not sure what they are doing besides their own laundry late at night.

This place is good. One of the better places we’ve stayed at on our 6 month trip. Clean, friendly, level and good amenities. That’s all we can ask for during our stays. This one is a rise above the rest. We really enjoyed our stay here and it is fairly close to the attractions in Albuquerque.

Be very careful when you make a reservation at this KOA as if you have to cancel for any reason, you will forfeit the full stay during any special events! I had my R.V. break down and I tried to cancel my reservation. I was told” too bad you forfeit the entire amount of your stay”. I have stayed here before and have seen them make exceptions for their friends and other customers. So here is your $ 241.00 worth of bad publicity and by word of mouth tell of your double standards!

We tent camped here for one night. Tent sites were right by the highway and loud, though the gravel beds were well kept. Pool, laundry and hot tub were great, showers and bathroom nice. Hosts were very welcoming. Would never tent camp here, though the RV side of the park looked really nice.

Spots are good. Not the best bathroom. Total mess when i went in and not that clean. Been to 14 camp grounds in last month not on our tops.

Camping at a KOA is already a stretch as far as «camping» goes, but this place was ridiculous. If you’re camping in a tent, don’t plan on sleeping well. The tent village is conveniently located under a billboard, up against the sound barrier for the interstate, by a bar and across the street from apartments. Our dogs had the pleasure of zero grass, but plenty of weeds to potty in, along with a plethora of broken glass and burrs that got caught in their paws. Sure, the bathrooms were clean and it was very close to the highway, but it was like sleeping in a Target parking lot. Complete with a random guy walking around at 1am looking for money handouts. Stay classy, Albuquerque KOA.

Conveniently located off the highway. Great for a quick stop on a road trip.
We didn’t like the location as far as the surroundings. Lots of apartments and businesses. Staff in the office was pleasant and fast. We reserved the lodge cabin even though it was overpriced. No bedding the first time we checked in but they quickly brought us some as bedding was supposed to be included. On our way back home, we checked in again and this time, there were no pillows for the bunk bed or toilet paper. It was after hours before we noticed so we just made do.
Pros: Convenient off highway, clean lodge (did not try camp bathrooms).
Cons: Loud neighborhood, odd location, overpriced lodge
Will not stay here again unless in same situation and need a quick stop on a road trip. Motel lodging with hotel prices.

Conveniently located to people I visit, I’ve stayed here half a dozen times. Before my most recent visit, I’ve been happy with the place: it represented the KOA franchise very well, and all the amenities were there: clean bathrooms, easy to use wifi, laundry, well-​sloped dump.
This latest visit disappointed. The main men’s bathroom had TP holders that wouldn’t roll or were out of TP. The dump’s hose wasn’t working (though one was conveniently close). But the TengoInternet wifi was just a pain: the way the park has it configured (requiring signup with a coupon) isn’t compatible with my iPad or Chromebook.
I’m hoping it was just a fluke, I want to stay here again, but working wifi is becoming a dealbreaker for me.

Very clean and nice bathrooms. Wish there was grass to walk the dogs. Mini golf is run down and covered in debris. It’s unusable.
Rec center closes at 5pm which is way too early. Sunsets are pretty.

This place was great! We were going to tent camp as we traveled but due to rain we received a call that we were upgraded to a KOA Kabin. It was very clean, had a nice set up for eating our «on the road dinner», had a small tv, and was exactly what we needed to decompress before we got on the road again. The facilities are very clean and the extras (playground, K9 Kamp) were very nice. This is right off the freeway, so incredibly convenient, but if you are looking for a wilderness experience this is not it. If you are looking for a clean, fun, friendly place to rest your head for a night or two I couldn’t recommend this more!

This park is located in an area that does not appear to be very safe and the person taking our reservation was not very friendly. The staff on site were friendly and the facility was clean.
