  Brighton RV Resort

  No Picnic Table

  A new casino is being built beginning Summer 2023 with expected completion in 2025.  We were told the majority of the campsites and cabins will house the construction workers for the casino project.

  PROS 

  Prearrival text regarding checkin and checkin documents left at campground sign, but it had rained and documents were unreadable 

  Deon was very helpful upon arrival 

  Security code for bathhouse entry 

  Over 65 and veteran discount 

  Site 312 concrete pad level 

  Site 312 paver patio surrounded by sand and weeds, but most sites had manicured grass. 

  Nicely spaced sites. 

  Very clean bathhouse during the week. 

  5 washers and 5 dryers at $2 each in Park laundromat. Office sells quarters. 

  Quiet. 

  Saw Seminole police patrolling frequently 

  TMobile 4 bars. 

  Park had WIFI but we did not connect. 

  CONS 

  No security gate so LOTS of drive-bys 

  30amp breaker overheated and tripped 3 times during our 7 night stay 

  Site 312 absolutely no shade 

  Not permitted to select site online when making reservations 

  Absolutely no bathhouse cleaning Saturday and Sunday so by Sunday evening it was pretty nasty 

  Price increase 8/1/22 that we had to pay even tho we made reservations during March 2022 

  Need to bring-your-own fire ring, but wasn't informed of this requirement until we arrived 

  No picnic table at site upon arrival. Notified camp office who advised one would be provided first thing next morning by park maintenance. 

  Day 2. No table. Stopped by camp office right before noon and reported no table delivered to site. Then the excuses started from Jodi, the park manager…only one maintenance man…picnic tables are disappearing overnight and that’s a problem…now have 3 sites that need a picnic table…staff believes other campers see a unoccupied site and drag table to their site…there were 63 tables when the season started… No mention of when picnic table will be delivered to site. We offered to help get it. Told maintenance man is working on it. 

  Day 3. No table. 

  Day 4. Stopped by office at 9am for an update on when to expect a table. Spoke with Jodi again. She had no update. Same excuses as I heard on Day 2 but she did mention that NEXT YEAR she was going to need to anchor the tables at each site so they don’t disappear. I mentioned seeing 4 tables at the firepit area. She said we are welcomed to take a table from the community firepit area and move it to our campsite but those are needing replacement boards badly(her words). 

  Never got a table. Just too heavy for us to drag one from the firepit area to our site, which was a bit more than a half block and the maintenance man never delivered one.

  Check out Phipps park

  Really enjoyed this spacious park. Great biking, easy access to boating, kayaking, and paddle boarding.  close to beaches and shopping so there’s something for everybody to do.

  Phipps County Park

  Quiet and Beautiful

  We stayed in one of the electrical sights along the river. We made use of the fire pit and enjoyed the sunset. The other guests were friendly and we saw a bunch of dogs around.

  The property manager was highly responsive when we requested the gate code via email. The gate closes at 7:30 pm but with the code there is no issue.

  We did not visit the on-site bathrooms nor did we use the dish cleaning station.

  The glamping tents were just that - a tent built onto a platform.

  We truly enjoyed our peaceful visit to the park and highly recommend staying along the water.

  KOA Campground Okeechobee

  Actual Resort Life!

  This KOA is the best one we’ve ever stayed at. It’s an actual resort with a golf course in the middle. You get all the same amenities at a usual KOA with bonus ones like poolside food delivery, golf tee times, tennis and pickle ball tournaments, bingo nights etc. Obviously it’s mostly older senior people but they are super pleasant!! Only downside is that while the park is dog friendly, it’s a bit tough to walk the dogs since there aren’t really any paths so you need to walk on the road with golf carts, cars and other people walking dogs so can be a bit tough. Otherwise, absolutely too notch! They are also the first KOA where the K9 park was actually clean, no poop!

  Relaxing

  The reason why I titled this “relaxing” is because I enjoy the feeling of the place! The people (mainly the snowbirds) the come down seem to be the friendliest! My favorite is their drum circles!

  West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA

  Hurricane Ian Escape

  The campground staff was great: while going from 15% to 100% occupancy in 24 hours, they still kept up the cleanliness support, and friendliness. It was a great experience in a trying time like evacuating for a hurricane. We did hear the lions from our campsite. Sites were decent sized. Some were gravel, most weren't.

  West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA

  Mosquito Haven

  When we were pulling in we noticed a train of 7-8 RV’s and trailers leaving. Didn’t think much of it. Went ahead and checked in, got to our camping site, etc. That’s when we noticed that it was literally swarming with mosquitos. Pulled out 3 thermacells but the swarms were so bad they didn’t even touch it. Couldn’t even open the trailer door for a split second without 10 mosquitos flying in. Ended up packing up and leaving within the hour and getting a nearby hotel for the night. Manager refused a refund, and suggested we go to John Prince Park in the future. Have never had such a terrible experience with KOA in the past. 0 stars if I could.

  West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA

  Great Location

  First of all, this was a great location to visit the lion country safari. We stayed in a tent site.

  Pros: The facilities were well kept and nice enough for a campground. People were not too noisy. The lions were plenty noisy, and it was so cool to hear them in the morning!

  Cons: There was no privacy whatsoever between sites and the sites were very close together. The lampposts were plentiful and bright which isn't so great when sleeping in a tent. Also, no fire rings.

  KOA Campground Okeechobee

  Overall - great camping “resort”

  If you are wanting the outdoors style camping, not here. This is more of a resort then campground. Great staff, many amenities, and overall a good stay. Should have looked into it more as this is more of an RV park, and less of a true campgrounds.

  West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA

  5 summer months

  So, we were here a bit long term in the summer. Staying here in the summer is as bad as being in Vermont in winter. You need a reason to be there and sadly we did.
  First off, waking up to lions roaring and bonobos scream in the morning was freaking amazing! I will treasure this memory for the rest of my life. The facilities are aging but are clean. The ladies in the front office were awesome and accommodating. We purchased a new RV while there and they had no issues moving us and making sure we were good with moving up from a 30 Amp to a 50 Amp site. At $99/night it is expensive and by not having the facilities of a KOA Holiday and being so far away from the Highway as a KOA Journey I can't give it 5 stars but, it is damn close.

  Nice Park, Right next to safari park

  Great location near the Safari park with discounted tickets available. I recommend staying here if you are going to the Safari Park and need a place to stay. Big Rig friendly with nice pull through sites and a wilderness feel that I enjoyed. :)

  KOA Campground Okeechobee

  Horrible

  The campsites are not spread out at all and the campground is nowhere near any types of wilderness. It is pretty much an RV park on the outskirts of town. The campground was packed!!

  West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA

  Real Lion Alarm Clock

  We tent camped here. Site small and sandy but location is the key to this KOA. Right next to Lion Country Safari. We are used to hearing birds and frogs when we camp, but here it is lions...and other noises I was not able to identify. Weather great to explore park in late Winter. Kids loved it and we will be back!

  Filling up quickly.

  Rustic. Freedom. Old timers. Families. AANR. Pool is heated comfortably year round. Sauna. Hot tub restaurant fitness laundry pool table clubhouse. Pavilliin. Much is centered around the above area. But more is being done for trails and sites.

  Phipps County Park

  Surprisingly Empty for the Start of Memorial Weekend!

  I lucked into this hidden gem of a campground on my way north from Fort Lauderdale.

  The staff at the gate was super friendly and I was pleasantly surprised by the availability of sites because I rolled in on the Friday at the start of a holiday weekend.

  There is a fishing pier, bike path along the river, boat launch area, communal restrooms, laundry room (although washing machine was out of order), and outdoor dish pit.

  I really enjoyed an evening stroll around the ponds where they have "glamping" tents set up.

  This campground is built on the site of an innovative stormwater catchment and treatment area, so it had some interesting info to learn about efforts to clean and control stormwater flow in the region.

  All in all, can't be upset about a campground with plenty of space and rainbow skies at sunset!

  West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA

  Great family campground

  This campground that sits just outside of the only drive through animal safari with over 1,000 different types of animals, is great for families to enjoy. This has all the amenities as a typical KOA campground except you get a bonus by hearing the Lions roar in the morning. The campground is gated during evening hours with the gate closing at 10:00 pm, so you will need to get a gate key card with a $20.00 deposit which will be refunded when you turn the key back at the end of your stay. The staff are very friendly and the campground is very clean. They also do a great job with abiding by the CDC guidelines for Covid-19. The Raccoons like to come out in the evening, so make sure you pick up you garbage at night. The rabbits were having fun playing in the primitive camping area every evening and early morning hours. They offer cabin and platform tent rentals for slightly more than a tent site. There are many seasonal campers from the North along with weekend campers trying to escape the everyday stress in their lives. We live 1 hour south of this campground but we will definitely be going back fir weekend trips.

  Surrounded by water lilies...

  Adorable, enchanting island camping amongst water lilies, turtles, white ibis’, blue heron and friendly folks. Each of us are seeking “home” in nature. A variety of camping choices here. Staff is friendly and helpful. Nice paved and gravel trails throughout the small, but beautiful property. Near highway 95 for convenience. We brought our queen sized airmatress and it fits with plenty of space for changing clothes inside the adorable platform canvas tent home. We recently watched, “ Hell on Wheels” , a series on Netflix, about people who lived in a canvas makeshift tent cities who worked by day then found comfort in their tent homes and campfires by night. In the ole’ west, folks lived in canvas tents while they built the railroad. We are reflecting on the joy of tent life while discovering the USA. The canvas tents at Phipps Park, Martin County are perfect for group rentals and ideal for beginners. All in all, this is a well kept property, worthy of staying awhile if you are passing through.

  Lots to do

  There is a lot to do there and the family pool had crystal clear water. Place is very clean and staff were not only friendly but really helpful, with the exception of one older lady at the front desk who was pretty nasty about me not knowing the correct check in procedure even though I had never been there before. Other then her it was a really great place to spend a relaxing weekend.

  Great Family Campsite

  Very nice KOA , clean well presented , friendly staff. The lions waking you up in the morning is really pretty cool. LOTS of local channels and good internet. It's pretty far from most everything but its really the only game in town. Very peaceful and quite. Discount tickets to Lion Country Safari which is next to campground.

  KOA Campground Okeechobee

  A great place for families and kids...

  This is the largest KOA in the country...It's a Great campground for families, although I didn't go with one...There is an adult only pool, and a family pool. The Shanty, a bar is right by the adult pool, with entertainment in season and mostly on weekends. I've been there many times in the past, with my TT and my Coach...The sites are mostly large enough for Big rigs...There are upgrades to deluxe sites with brick patios, barbeques, fire pits and chairs. It's a very busy place on the holidays...If you want quiet those days, I don't suggest you go there...There is also a Golf Course, Golf Cart Rental, A nice updated store, A fenced in Dog park...
