The Las Cruces KOA Holiday in Las Cruces, New Mexico, has been named Campground with the Best View in RVshare’s 2026 Campies awards, earning the recognition through public voting for its panoramic views of the Mesilla Valley and Organ Mountains.
The annual awards program, now in its fifth year, received thousands of nominations across 16 categories, with winners selected by public vote. The recognition highlights the campground’s scenic hilltop location overlooking the surrounding desert landscape.
The property offers views of the Organ Mountains, desert sunrises and sunsets, and the city lights of Las Cruces after dark. A scenic walking path accessible to all guests leads to a community fire pit and seating area overlooking the valley.
The Campies award adds to several other 2026 recognitions for the campground. Las Cruces KOA Holiday received a KOA ICON Award, which recognizes the top 10% of KOA campgrounds across North America, and was named a KOA World Class Guest Service honoree.
The campground also reports a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 97. The metric measures customers’ likelihood of recommending a business to others on a scale of -100 to 100. KOA considers scores above 70 to be world class.
The property has continued investing in campsite additions and improvements. Recent upgrades include seven new campsites, four of which are KOA Patio View Sites designed to take advantage of the campground’s elevated location and surrounding scenery.
In 2026, the campground also transitioned from a KOA Journey to a KOA Holiday, reflecting investments in its amenities, accommodations and guest experience. KOA Holiday properties are positioned as destinations offering activities for guests.
“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.”
Las Cruces KOA Holiday is among more than 500 publicly accessible KOA campgrounds operating across the United States and Canada. The campground is located at 814 Weinrich Road in Las Cruces and remains open year-round.
