Lubbock KOA

Staff was really friendly didn’t get to take advantage of any of the activities. The only cons were our site wasn’t level, it was really loud with screaming kids later into the night (granted we stayed on a Saturday night so that wasn’t a huge problem), the trees do need to be trimmed– we had to back out our 40′ trailer to avoid ruining our roof on the tree branch, and there was a few too many trucks parked on the roadways to get out. It is was hard not to hit them. Wasn’t terrible though, decently priced and the people around us staying for extended stays were really friendly. We would come back and stay again.

It really wasn’t as bad as the prior reviews made it out to be. We heard maybe 2 trains prior to 9pm… We had a pull thru spot, were able to tie our dogs up outside of our camper, and there wernt any low hanging tree branches. Customer service wise, we did everything over the phone before arriving and the girl was more than helpful getting us booked and taken care of for our late arrival. — 32ft. Class C RV —

As of May 2014, a big change in this park. Not well maintained. Biggest issue: overhanging branches of trees in the campsites. While some of the trees have been trimmed, the site we were assigned had clearly not been. Branches got entangled in the top of our fifth wheel (and we were in the dead center of the slot). We had arrived just at closing time and had to call. They were puzzled because they were sure they had given us a long enough site. So there didn’t seem to be a clear understanding of the height of RVs and the need for tree trimming. Some overhanging branches on the interior roads as well — I had to get out and watch as we drove along to make sure the branches didn’t grab the roof of our RV and tear it up. There were several big piles of branches in a visible area connected to the park (so they had done some work). There were also old mattresses and box springs dumped there. Not exactly what we expected to see on our vacation. All of the grass has died — yes, there’s a drought. Has been for several years — will continue. Best course of action might be hardscaping so people aren’t walking around in dirt and dust. Although it was gradation weekend (and they couldn’t honor any special discounts), the pool was closed for maintenance ! I always try to give good reviews whenever possible, as I know people are trying to earn a living off their businesses, but we are unlikely to stay at this park again. We didn’t see a lot of nice camper rigs in their either. The staff were friendly and helpful, and that was good.

Can I give zero stars? Well one it is then. If you do not have a sound-​proof RV or sleeping orb I would seriously consider someplace else. We were in a tent for this unforgettable night. This KOA is RIGHT off the highway. This is in Lubbock so as you would expect there were tons of semi’s, big pick ups and harley’s zooming past at all hours of the night. And this was a weeknight, fyi. On top of that there was a gaggle of grackles fluttering/​fighting/​mating around the tree above our tent. They didn’t settle down until at least 11pm. At least now I know better.
