Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA) celebrated the Las Cruces KOA Holiday in Las Cruces, New Mexico, for being named Campground with the Best View in RVshare’s 2026 ‘Campies’, a national awards program recognizing standout campgrounds across the U.S.
Now in its fifth year, the ‘Campies’ drew thousands of nominations across 16 categories, with winners decided by public vote.
The Las Cruces KOA Holiday sits on a hill overlooking the Mesilla Valley, offering campers panoramic views of the Organ Mountains, sunrises and sunsets over the desert, and the city lights of Las Cruces after dark. A scenic walk open to all guests leads to a community fire pit and seating area built for taking in the view.
The Campies add to a strong list of honors for the campground. Las Cruces KOA Holiday is a 2026 KOA ICON Award recipient, a distinction reserved for the top 10% of KOA campgrounds across North America, and a 2026 KOA World Class Guest Service honoree.
Las Cruces KOA holds a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 97. NPS measures how likely guests are to recommend a business to friends and family, on a scale from -100 to 100. Guests rate their likelihood to recommend from 0 to 10. KOA considers anything above 70 world class.
The campground invests in improvements that complement its setting. It recently added seven new campsites, including four KOA Patio View Sites designed to make the most of the panorama. In 2026, the property also upgraded from a KOA Journey to a KOA Holiday, reflecting continued investment in amenities, accommodations and the overall guest experience. KOA Holidays serve as great base camps with numerous activities.
“We’re so fortunate to have this incredible spot overlooking the Mesilla Valley and Organ Mountains. Between the sunrises, sunsets, and occasional rainbows, the views never get old,” said Chris Scianna, owner of Las Cruces KOA Holiday. “We’re honored that our guests voted for us, and will continue to invest in our property so even more campers can enjoy what makes this place so special.”
The Las Cruces KOA Holiday is one of more than 500 open-to-the-public KOA campgrounds across the U.S. and Canada. KOA Journey campgrounds are conveniently located near the highways and byways of North America, while KOA Resorts offer an abundance of activities led by dedicated recreation staff, on-site food service and group meeting space.
