What’s in the city and in the desert and boasts mountain views? The Albuquerque Central KOA, where the majestic Sandia Mountains provide a spectacular backdrop. You’ve got city conveniences - world-class museums, shopping, dining, a great zoo and aquarium and a new minor league baseball team - as well as the treasures of the Southwest, such as 17th-century Spanish churches and the Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. Witness the blaze of color as hundreds of hot air balloons fill the sky during the October International Balloon Fiesta.

Plus, the many KOA treasures include a heated pool, an indoor hot tub, Kamping Kabins and Wi-Fi capability. The campground store will keep you stocked with Native American handicrafts such as Pueblo pottery, Kachina dolls and dream catchers.
