Love this place. Love the woods , always see critters along the creek. Campsites are clean and bathhouse is cleaned daily. Great hiking, fishing, bird watching or just chillaxin. Staff is always helpful. Been here many times and will definitely be back!
Well maintained facilities and friendly rangers on-site. Numerous hiking trails with open Prarie landscape. Very limited light pollution at night so great Location to star gaze.
Excellent park for hiking, kayak, and fishing. Beautifully preserved wildlife and well maintained facilities eoth friendly.
Very nice park, staff very friendly, price very good for June. Everything you want or need is right here. Marinas and guides are close along with Walmart, restaurants. Wifi is provided if needed, Verizon coverage is 5 bars.
Great location for fishing the lake. Well maintained facilities and friendly staff.
Friendly staff and residents. Nice area along the creek. Well maintained.
4 miles down washboard sand/gravel road will beat your truck and trailer to death. And the sites are small!! 18’ trailer in site #6 and had to unhitch the tow vehicle as it was sticking in the road. Barely fit 22’ trailer and tow vehicle in site #1 without unhitching. That aside, it is a beautiful quiet spot that is excellent for star gazing. Bath house is clean and lots of hot water. If you are car camping or tent camping or have a camper van, this might be a good spot for you. It is a dark zone, so no lights after dark - use red lights.
Friendly environment, secluded nice little spot for fishing. Highly recommend.
Tons to do on property including little stores, bbq restaurant, pizza, ice cream etc. Horseback riding, petting zoo, rock climbing. BUT, my only complaint is the noise level of the area. Lots of boat noise, gas golf carts (big property) & it just happened that my neighbors loved their gas blowers & pressure washing lol. Lots of great sites to choose from. Nice staff. Pet friendly.
This is an amazing campground. We stayed in the Astrological Pad so we can see the stars and oh my.. you can see them all!!!! Bring your telescope. The hiking trails are great! Saw alot of Deer, boar and turkeys around the grounds. I did not see any on the trails but that was ok. The campgrounds are clean and bathrooms are easily accessible. Most of the camp is red light only at night so please bring red light flashlights.
KOA Moore Haven : Not my cup of tea, however looked clean and maybe appealing if I had a large RV. I would first research what of interest the area offers.

P1-6 are my favorite sites here. They offer RVs more of a camping kind of atmosphere as they are a little more secluded. Not all have electric/sewer, so better check. They are under trees with moss hanging from them. Not all sites in P1-6 will accommodate a tall rig!
One of the finer older campgrounds in Florida, peaceful and serene. Located on the rim canal of Lake Okeechobee, we stayed for two nights to go to the Hendry County Speedway for dirt track racing and basically caught a Bass every time we cast a line. The only reason I did not rate them a 5 was due to the shower facility, it’s in need of a renovation. friendly staff and a quiet fishing atmosphere. We will stay there again!!!
Owned by a nice old lady named Mary Ann.its been in her family for 40 years. she lives on site. property has a dock and a boat ramp. The campers have plenty of space apart from one another. The rates are affordable. Very nice neighbors. I have the trailer slot directly on the water very nice view. Pet friendly and kid friendly. Not too far from town.
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

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.
We were blown away with the hospitality, great staff, very clean site even our dog Rascal enjoyed it. Huge swimming pool screened in, so much to see and do here….put them on your list, we are definitely going back… soon
We spent the winter here after usually being near the beach. It was a fun place to be to experience a different ambience. The city of LaBelle has winter events like their Swamp Cabbage Festival and parade. They have a nice rodeo grounds with impressive events. The RV park itself has tons of activities and pickle ball courts etc. Owners friendly. We don’t have a pet, but everyone seems careful with their dogs. It’s a very seasonal park and pretty new. They just finished a second new laundry and showers building this 2023 year. Very fair prices. But must have a less-than-ten-year-old rig.
We are staying here for 2 weeks. This is our first visit. To be fair, they are still recovering from hurricane Ian. Some of the sites are very nice and well kept and others look like they have very long term residents who don’t clean up after themselves very well.
We stayed in April of 2023 during the week. I think there might be 10 sites full. Verizon 3 bars
If you want something in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do, please go here. They have some nice sites and some beautiful vistas but, they have LOTS of problems. If you need to be in South Florida and can't find another site, this works as a campground of last resort but, it's LAST resort which is how we ended up there for 2 months.
The staff TRIES but, there is little support to keeping the place up-kept. Staff keeps abandoning and leaving the place for brighter pastures even skipping out without notice due to the retribution of management.
This team owns and manages several KOA in south Florida and this location needs to lose it's KOA affiliation due to lack of amenities.
On the positive side, when we thought we wouldn't fit in our next stop at Everglades National Park, they bent over backwards to make sure we didn't have to move our site. Our campsite was huge but, we could not put up our tent, screen room or EZ-UP.
Most campers were looking to leave while we were there this winter.
Peace River is a very large campground. Nearly half is still unusable after Ian. The sites that are open are spacious. There are many trees so many roots in the campsites. Our site was very level with a concrete patio. Except for the traffic nearby it is a very quiet campground. We had many perfect nights sleeping here. Although we were here in March there seemed to be many available sites and many campers moving in and out.
Great spot to winter, but they are only taking annual campers. We only want 3 months so we are moving next year. But it is a wonderful community with a very active group.
This campground is the worse. Please go to Trip Advisor for the full review. Don’t book this campground before you read the review.
I have been coming here every year for the last 5 years for an annual trip. This place is great with nice trails and fishing . Bathrooms always are a bit dirty and get messy at the end of a weekend but otherwise a great spot .
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!
Such a beautiful park! We were greeted by deer, and turkey as soon as we drove in. The staff were all very helpful, and kind, and the premises were beautifully maintained. We stayed on the family side, and there wasn’t as much privacy between the sites as I would’ve liked, but it was still very quiet. The nights sky alone, was definitely worth the visit, the Milky Way stole the show amongst the spectacle of shooting stars and meteors
The campsite was nice. The dog park was nice. The pool was nice but had ALOT of frogs that didn’t make it… I was told there was a turtle found once so look before you enter, they do clean it very often though! Very close to Walmart! I even had a package delivered here!
