Amarillo KOA

This is really a good campground for an RV. Easy for big rigs, not too cheap considering how clean showers are and the cable and 50 amp full service. The times I have been it has simply been surprising how clean restrooms are and there are no full timers or they can’t have stuff left outside. I will say that tent camping her looks to be lacking. So for a quick in and out or even a day using the swimming pool is nice. They have gift store, Rec. room, pool, showers, laundry, dog playground, people playground and full hookups on level sites. All sites are gravel.

Maybe among the cleanest campgrounds I have been in. Owners were very friendly, check-​in was quick, and he led me to my spot and guided me in to ensure easy hook-​ups. Yes, there is a train track and an airport nearby… I heard one plane when I was walking my dog and 2 trains, nothing once I got inside and settled in. Grass was all green and there was no trash anywhere… not even minor litter. Nice little fenced in dog park to let your dog off-​leash.
Happy to stay here every time I decide to stop in Amarillo.

Do not tent camp here. Not only are there trains that run every 15 minutes, theres nothing to break the wind. Our tent collapsed at 2am with properly configured guy lines from the wind. If you stay here get a cabin.

Location is everything, and this location stinks. Tent sites are out in the open, highway nearby and the jets taking off right over the campground well into the night made for restless sleep. We were just overnighting on our way easy and were up before dawn and left. It would be nice to have had a better location in the campground for the tents, not having a huge RV shouldn’t mean a person gets left the dregs of whatever space is available. Clearly tents were an afterthought. Wouldn’t recommend this place to tent campers.

This koa was extremely clean throughout the park and restrooms. We arrived late, did the late check in for a tent with no problems since we arrived after they closed.
Only 2 draw backs for you tent campers, and since we only stayed for 7 hours we could bear them:
1. Traffic noise! The road to get to this koa gets heavy big rig traffic! All night! If you are primitive camping choose a site farther from the road. Not T1 site.
2. The bird noise! A nearby tree had birds in it all night! They made noise, chirped, and made all kinds of other noises all night long! Felt like a zoo! Never had this type of wildlife noise camping, ever, and we have tons of camping experience. RV’rs would probably not experience these issues.

On our way home from CO to North TX we stopped for one night at the Amarillo KOA. As we drove in past the prison and a trailer park we thought that this was not what we expected. We had dinner to grill but we wondered if it didn’t work out where would we go to eat? We then drive through the KOA gates. A friendly man was out watering the grass on the entryway and said welcome. After 13 hours of driving this was very pleasant. We were greated and checked in quickly. Escorted to our camping place and assisted in parking. This place is clean and wonderful!

As an experienced camper, I’ve seen a lot of campgrounds. my husband and I agree that this was our favorite campground! The Amarillo KoA was clean, with great facilities and fabulous staff! We were sad to go! Stay here if in the neighborhood.

Pros:
Friendly staff
Pool
Wi-​if
Cute décor
Fun & FREE ranch style limo to steak house
Cons:
Not exactly scenic, definitely not forest camping
HUGE glaring light that kept me up most of the night (hello, this is why we go camping to get away from light pollution! Turn off the light!)
More expensive than typical camp sites

We stayed in a cabin here in July on our way out of Texas. The cabin smelled a little doggy, but otherwise really clean. Nice cold a/​c and even a little fridge. This bathrooms are super CLEAN and the staff is really friendly. The pool was just right to cool us off. The kids loved the hayride. It’s a great, inexpensive stop on your way in or out of Texas. Better than any hotel we’ve stayed at in Lubbock or Amarillo. Don’t forget your sleeping bags and pillows.

Stayed July 2,2014, check-​in people were very friendly. My cabin was spotlessly clean, even the floor was free of any grit. Close to restrooms. My stay was short, but I recommend this KOA for someone like me passing thru. It was just what I needed and at a good price.

Everything was clean and organized and the staff was friendly and helpful. They offer a free limo drive to a really nice steak house and the food the was great. The price at the KOA was very high, especially for its location. It’s close to an airport, train tracks and major traffic. I wasn’t able to sleep at all at night; planes, trains and automobiles. Noisy, noisy and did I say noisy?

My wife, dog and I stayed here for about 6 months and we do miss this park. Aside from being the cleanest park we have stayed in, the entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We do not expect any place else to have as awesome of people as this KOA. They’ll even keep your favorite beverages in stock in the office/​store. Great place for your kids and pets, good sized lots and comfortable cabins. If you’re going through Amarillo, even without an rv, stay here. A lot nicer, cheaper and quieter than the nearby hotels. Tell the world famous uncle Don we said hello.

The staff was Very friendly and helpful. The facilities are Really Clean and well maintained. The campground is nice and I WILL return when I pass through Texas. The planes, trains go karts were not noticable after 10 pm. And I traveled in early April so the weather was PERFECT! Great place to stay with my dogs, they loved Kamp K9 area and the pet walk for handling doggie business.

A lovely KOA happily situated in the middle of nowhere. Office and gift shop are pretty high on the list. There’s also a nightly hayride.
Deluxe lodge is the way to go. After reading other reviews, we wanted to rest up and not be kept awake by sound. So we upgraded. For about $ 100, you have a 2 room, air conditioned cabin with a private hot shower and bathroom, cable TV, etc. It’s tiny but perfect.
What we noticed, however, is that the sound isn’t an issue. It didn’t seem loud at all.

I have NO idea why other folks have such negative things to say about this KOA. It is juxtaposed to some seedy places, but we didn’t experience any noise while we were outside at all. I think it may depend on the time of year you’re in the area because we didn’t hear any Planes or trains (or automobiles).
The grounds are just gorgeous. The most well-​kept KOA we’ve experienced to date. There is plenty to do whilst camping — hayrides, incumbent bikes, games, and plenty to see.
The staff are seriously some of the nicest folks. They live on the grounds are super helpful. Loved chatting with them!
5 solid stars. If we are traveling old 66 again, Amarillo KOA it i

Let me start with the positives: nice people, clean restrooms, and well-​maintained campground. The restrooms were really clean and the showers were great! But unfortunately, there were quite a few negatives with this KOA, especially the location! It’s located right next to an airport, train tracks and some type of go-​kart racing track. We stayed in a tent site and it took us a while to fall asleep because of all of the noise. Those go-​karts can get really loud and annoying and they were going until almost midnight. Plus the occasional plane taking off or train going by. Also, during the day it was really hot (and the pool wasn’t even working!). The tent sites have little to no shade. Then during the night it was really windy! I wish I could rate this place higher because of the nice people.

First of all, the staff are a full 5 stars! They were very nice and attentive. The facilities are VERY clean! Then why only the 3 stars? The location. It is in the middle of no where. It is in the middle of a field behind the Amarillo airport. We stayed just 1 night and it was extremely hot… should have gotten a cabin there.

We just stsayed the night on our way home. The facilities are clean, the pool looks good.
