Here’s our review on Campground Reviews:
Pull-in sites with a great view
We stayed in one of the "view" sites and were thrilled that they let motorhomes pull-in to enjoy the view out our windshield. We also lucked out and had the corner site (28), which was absolutely massive. The staff were all terrific, and when we needed to extend our stay by a day due to the weather at our next destination, they were very accommodating. We will definitely be staying here again when we swing through Las Cruces. We camped at Las Cruces KOA Journey in a Motorhome.
We were scheduled to depart on 2022-10-23, but there were 63 MPH wind gusts at our next destination, so we decided to delay our departure a day. They actually called us to warn us, though we keep an eye on such things. With a high profile vehicle, strong winds can be dangerous (not to mention unpleasant). Fortunately the KOA was able to let us extend our stay:

We lucked out with a corner site, that gave us a larger-than-usual site:
