Great KOA!

Office staff is amazing. The upkeep here is like a machine. Daily trash p/u by 10am (don't leave it out over-night, or critters might get it first!) Mail forwarding; AMAZON delivery. Super easy to hit all the attractions locally. Restaurants close. Undoubtedly the Cleanest showers I've ever seen!

Lots of Road Noise

This park was okay, but we were at the front and the road noise was bad. Lots of sirens and traffic. It was noticeably quieter at the back of the campground. Roads are really narrow. We were told they didn't pick up trash at the site and the only dumpster was at the opposite end of the park, which was a bit inconvenient. Wifi was really good and cable worked well. The dog park was adequate and my dog enjoyed it. I probably wouldn't stay here again just cause of the price and road noise. We camped at Clearwater/ Lake Tarpon KOA Holiday in a Fifth Wheel.

Cold Cup of Tea

Paid for a week stay over a month in advance. Looked at review after review. Was very excited about to see my best friend and family. Not a place I would recommend for people as we are, not judgemental but stay to ourselves and the like. Didn't like the spots were crushed sea shells as they are hard on the feet and easily tracked in. Rain comes and sites are so easily flooded that we kept sandals on the entire time. Sites just stacked on top of each other. You tend to hear lots of ems vehicles as you are on top of the 10 lane highway. Class of the property and people attracted here are not seemingly full timers,friendly, nor understanding. Place is clean,expensive, ill advertised, and an expensive place really. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone meaning not down to earth blue collar people. Pet friendly
