Campground Reviews

Apr 18, 2025
This is a lovely, clean park with basic amenities. The staff are superb. We selected a site with a "Paw Pen" for our dog. It had a fenced yard, a good-sized grassy area, a patio with four chairs and a table, two rocking chairs, and plenty of space for our medium sized dog and her big dog friend to play and relax.

Brand new campground, very clean. 5/5 for an overnight stay in April. Be aware there is no shade here, not a single tree. The perimeter has been nicely planted and will look great in a few years but won't provide any relief. Can't imagine staying here in a Florida summer

We had a dog patio site which was very nice. Other sites were too close and plain. The dog stations around the park were convenient. The entire staff is pleasant, welcoming, and very helpful.

Had a nice enough time to get there a second time already. I will return. There is good management and staff doing a fine good job @ Crystal River KOA. Thank you

Great little place. New park with great facilities. The staff was friendly and helpful. The best park we stayed at during our 3 week road trip. We plan to go back.

Our stay was quite enjoyable, thanks in large part to the wonderful staff who were always there to assist us. We truly appreciated the peaceful atmosphere of the campground and found ourselves spending most of our time there, only stepping out occasionally for meals. While we understood that Crystal River has its limitations in terms of activities, it was still a lovely getaway for us.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

What a great review! Thank you for letting us host your peaceful getaway. We hope you'll plan another one sooner than later!

The campground was very spacious and clean. Everyone was very nice. We happened to be camping in the "biting midges" season so keep that in mind for April camping:)

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you! It is that time of year, but we're glad that you enjoyed your stay at the Crystal River KOA anyway! We hope you'll come visit again!

Very clean and neat campground with paved roads. Good dog park. Restaurants close by. Owners very nice and accommodating. We stayed at a lovely patio site. We needed to use leveling blocks but not terrible. Loved this KOA.

Everyone was exceptional! We arrived in Crystal River in late afternoon drenched and tired! Thankfully we found you! KOA Journey is a wonderfully peaceful campground. The grands enjoyed the playground and pool immensely! I enjoyed the size of the park. Easy to get to everything without having to be on top of each other. The lots are perfectly spaced and the staff were thoughtful with placement. TY

This new KOA is right in town so short drive to the Manatees, Crab Plant etc. Beautiful pool and great bathrooms/showers. Staff is very friendly. No trees /shade so be sure to plan for that. We enjoyed it and will be back !

The park was great, but the traffic was very loud . You need a sound barrier along the road.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your review, we're glad to see that you enjoyed the park! We are always happy to move guests to a quieter site when we know they're unhappy with the road noise, but we are currently working on a permanent solution. As a new campground, we really appreciate the feedback! Happy camping!

We checked in, everyone was very polite, clean facilities. We drove to the tent sites to camp for the night, took one look, drove away and got an airbnb instead. There wasn’t a lick of shade over the tent sites and they’re all right on top of each other. So despite the friendly staff, clean facilities, nice pool and complimentary waffle breakfast, we left.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We guarantee your satisfaction or money back at check-in, so we wish we knew that you were so unhappy with our tent sites before you left. We are disappointed that we weren't able to make this right for you before you left a 1-star review without even experiencing our new campground.

It is perfect for access to the village area of Crystal River. Sparkling clean and access to neighborhood streets so you don't need to use routes 98 and 44. This made riding our bikes much more pleasant.

I would only stay there again just for an overnight stay. No shade ,sites to close,ponds look like a swamp,We asked about checking out early the young girl at the office laughed at us!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We're very sorry that your experience was not 5 stars. We would've gladly worked with you, but we had no idea that you were unhappy with the site! We cannot find where you were laughed at in our footage, but we do apologize that you had a bad experience and wish you well!

This is a lovely park. We appreciate the extra steps they take to make people comfortable, like the events, information are nearby amenities, and breakfast. All sites are nice and the patio sites are spectacular. The wifi was perfect and we appreciate this so much as it is not something you always find these days. We are looking forward to our return.

Nice new facility. Suggest shower caddies in bathroom and more hooks or table to set things on. Also a trash receptacle easily accessible. Sometimes trash needs to be disposed before next morning pick up

The grounds were very clean and the staff were all very friendly. The site with the patio exceeded our expectations, it was lovely. The pool, doggy park, playground and daily activities made our stay even better. Will definitely return for another stay!

new but on a very busy road. road noise all day and night. even kids complained. no fence around the campground. did not feel safe for having kids there. very little gravel on parking spots. was raining when arrived. had 2 wade thu puddles. staff was friendly tho.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are very sorry that you didn't have a good experience with us. As a KOA Journey, our location is intentionally convenient to main roads. We are working on more separation from the road, but always good to keep the different KOA types in mind. We're glad that you found the staff to be friendly!

The staff was very friendly. Complimentary breakfast and afternoon snacks were a delightful surprise. We even made it in time for a St Patricks Day Party and cook out. The pool was nice. Grounds are clean. Staff was attentive and quick to respond. Shower rooms are spacious and clean.

The location is both wonderful and not so great. It is 5 minutes from Kings Bay where you can swim with manatees, rent kayaks, go on boat tours. It is also near a highway so the traffic is noisy. The bathrooms/showers are clean, but unfortunately located on a very public side of the building. The hosts are generous in that they offer complimentary continental breakfasts and snacks.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your review! While it's true that our convenient location comes with somewhat busy roads, we are currently working on separation from Turkey Oak Drive. We'd love to have you back in one of our more secluded sites!

Great campground awesome workers. The entrance curb is not very well done though. Not sure how that got screwed up on a new place it's like your driving over a actual curb so turn slow.
