About

KoA

Welcome to the West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA, nestled near Loxahatchee, Florida. This campground is a unique gem, offering a blend of traditional camping with the thrill of being next to a safari park. Imagine waking up to the sounds of lions roaring and bonobos chattering—it's like having your own personal zoo alarm clock.

The campground operates year-round and caters to a variety of camping styles, including tents, RVs, cabins, glamping, and even yurts. It's big rig friendly, so no worries if you're rolling in with a larger setup. The sites are a mix of gravel and other surfaces, and while some might find them a bit close together, the overall experience more than makes up for it.

Amenities here are top-notch. You’ve got electric and water hookups, showers, toilets, and even a sanitary dump station. Pets are welcome, and there’s a market on-site for any essentials you might need. Fires are allowed, but you'll need to bring your own firewood.

One of the standout features is the proximity to Lion Country Safari. You can score discounted tickets and spend your days exploring the park, then retreat to your campsite for a quieter evening. The campground also has a pool, which is a great way to cool off after a day of adventure.

Visitors have praised the friendly and accommodating staff, who go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The cleanliness of the facilities is another highlight, making it a comfortable spot for families and solo travelers alike.

So, if you're looking for a camping experience that combines the wild sounds of a safari with the comforts of a well-equipped campground, this KOA is the place to be. Just remember to pack some mosquito repellent and enjoy the unique blend of nature and wildlife.

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.

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.

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.

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. :)

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!

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.

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.
