Nice park "but" pool closed, propane station broke, tree service cutting until 8 at night and started at 8 in the morning. Wife was asked to stay away from our motorhome door by the tree people. All should have updated on the website. When I voiced concerns, the new owners were blamed. The web site took my reservation just fine
Very clean campground. Level sites. Bathrooms were very clean as well. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. They showed us right to the sight. The camp store had really cute little knickknacks. Easy access on our way home.
Note, this KOA is under new management. We stayed here last year and loved it. Returned this year and had a different experience. Pool was closed ( since November) and we were told it was "expensive" to fix. Pool was also full of leaves. Propane tank was out of order as well. Checked in with 4 dogs, but, were told (after 8 days) they had a 2 dog limit. And we had a camper next to us with a 200+ pound pig that made quite a racket at times. For those booking from out of state, the park rules are not the same as those shown online and you may, or may not, be given the rules at check in. We were not. Will not be back.
We've stayed here twice. Great location off 301, an RV friendly highway that's a good cutoff if you're going from 95 to West Coast of Florida. Nice campground, super friendly staff, plenty of maneuvering room, level sites, plenty of stuff nearby. Speaking of which, we've been to Walmarts all over this great country, and the one 1.2 mikes from the KOA takes the cake. It's special.
Very nice KOA, highly recommended.
