Extraordinary koa. All the standard amenities to be expected X 10. Nice little camping spots in the far corner on shell gravel. Well run, quiet, clean. 300 sites. Even dog washing stations. Who knew.

The place was not very crowded, but we were put in what appeared to be some of the poorer sites available.

Campground is lovely for a Florida campground. Very clean, well landscaped. Brenda in the office is a delight! Had a couple deliveries, brought to my RV! Best was the bathroom and shower. I travel full time, move weekly for over a year and a half, and that shower was in my top 10 list! Awesome pressure, lots of hot water and very clean!! Only negative is traffic getting there and out.

Our stay was very nice, everybody was very pleasant and we will definitely be coming back.

The campground was spacious, clean and welcoming with many amenities and dog friendly (2 dog areas). We had a large space in the back right near the dog park and lots of room around us. Although there only two days, we were even invited to a neighborhood concert and a potluck. All in all, a great experience. Thank you.

I had a reservation, but when we arrived at 6:30 PM, they were closed (supposedly open until 7). There was a file with folders for late arrivers, but there was no folder for us. We called the number and had to leave a voicemail. After waiting 20 minutes, we called the emergency number - the guy answering was pretty upset that we had called - and told us to just pull into any empty spot. ??

The park is fine nothing extra but it met the expectations. However, had we known the bridge connecting to the mainland was out and it was an hour to two wait going and coming we would not have booked. The bridge weight on and off the island was very frustrating. And everything about the island that was attractive on the website doesn’t exist anymore because the hurricane took it out.

Great location, great facilities, would definitely stay here again.

Brridge replacement was slow to get through nice quiet camp

The campground was great. Access into pine island slow due to a bridge replacement. Hard to get on and off island. Construction on bridge completion October 2025.

Charming old Florida experience. Away from the congestion of Ft Myers. Nice facilities.

Staff is very helpful and extremely nice. Camp ground is very nice. Bathroom #3 is very nice and cleaned daily, but the raw sewage smell will gag you. Like every KOA I've stayed at the wifi is useless.

Had a great stay, enjoyed the island, considering the amount of storm damage that the area had, they have recovered well. Be prepared for a 45 minute time to cross the bridge under replacement.

Friendly staff also let us stay a couple hours extra on checkout because we were having mechanical problems and sent somebody over to help as well. Cleanest nicest and very well run also great area and many things to do

Staff where great, sites where decent if needing a little work. The WiFi was fair until they changed it half way through or stay. After that it rarely worked at all. You couldn't even get email. The cell service isn't much either so you can't depend on it though calls always worked. In this day WiFi is a important utility when you are on and extended stay.

Our month long stay was wonderful ( except for the no see ums). The place is clean, well maintained, easy to get anywhere on the island by bike or car. The staff is great, especially Brenda! I cannot say enough about her. She is one of the sweetest people I’ve met. I watched her handle guests that were upset ( internet) and handled them with a smile and respect. She is the heart of this KOA.

Staff helpful & friendly. Very peaceful campground. Loved all of the wildlife!

Our stay at the KOA was excellent! Great campground with nice amenities. Wpuld have been nice to have the newer concrete pads, which ours was in pretty bad shape! Gym was great! The staff at the front were really fantastic! Laundry facilities were nice, could be a bit bigger. We wish we knew the bridge to get on the island was under repair. Could take up to 1 hour to get on or off the island.

I only gave it 4 stars because it is one of the priceest Holiday and they don't even pick up garbage, dumpster a 1/2 mile away. Back bathhouse constantly smelled of sewage, very understaffed, washers not working in rear, must take laundry 1/2 mile up to office, The staff did try to keep it clean.

Really liked the campground. Eould have given it a 5 but the hot tub needed cleaning because it looked dirty. Pool need8to be vacuumed more often. The wi fi was really good until you had to pay. We paid for a month and couldn't get our tv to work. It isn't the KOA it was the company. Their customer service was horrible. People at the park were friendly.

It was wonderful! Staff were very accommodating! Just love Brenda, sweetest lady. Amanda did an amazing job for the company. We were sad to see her go!!

The campgrounds is in good shape except some of the concrete pads are broken at the corners, ouch! The pool area, weight/exercise room were excellent. I don't understand why they space campers on top of each other when there are numerous open spots. The biggest downfall is there is one way onto the island and road construction caused delays up to 45 minutes daily, ugh. Nobody mentioned this delay

Your WiFi is terrible. Even though you started charging for it and I subscribed to the high speed version, it was still terrible. Constantly buffering.
Mar 02, 2025
Very disappointed with our site. Grass was overgrown and the site was not groomed at all. Access to the island was restricted which was very inconvenient. We should have been notified of this situation.
Mar 02, 2025
We love the peacefulness of this community. Park is well kept. Sites are a nice size and you don’t feel like you are in a parking lot. Fitness center was a great addition. The only drawback for us was the laundry room near us in the back wasn’t complete yet. We ended up going into town to a nice new laundromat. The facility at the park was small and hard to get a machine and dryer during the d

nice cabin...

I liked the park mostly. The bathrooms were clean and new. Pool nice. It was a very long walk to the trash dumpster and recycling bin. They might want to find another spot for that. Many of the sites were lovely. But the water treatment plant was sometimes stinky. I was happy for the $50/night I paid but would not have been happy for the regular price of $100/night

We completed the express check in and when we arrived we were told that doesn’t do anything plus I received four emails asking to complete the express check in. Most of the sites are small and not level Great amenities and bathrooms The worst part was getting there due to the bridge being one lane in Matlacha, I realize that is not KOA’s fault

Très beau camping , mais avec la reconstruction du pont c’était difficile pour les visites en dehors de l’ily

We live in SW Florida but wanted to take a quick trip in our motorhome. We've never been to this campground before, I reserved a spot online and put in how many of us and how long our rig was. Showed up on Saturday at 1 to check in and found our welcome packet, made our way to our spot on the water and had a great time. Took the kids to the park and walked around the grounds. Showers and bathrooms were reallly nice. The ONLY thing we hated was the noseums when the sun went down. They were absolutely horrific. We'd go here again in the colder months, really nice park.

This campground is a little over an hour away from us & when KOA rewards offered a free night, we decided why not? We are new travel trailer owners & want to get some weekend trips under our belt before our first long trip. This campground was better than I expected! Being that is was off season the park was quiet & peaceful with only a few campers & even less live in residents. The park is really clean & well kept. We had a site on the lake with a level concrete pad & full hook up all in working order. The bath house closest to us was immaculate. This campground has 2 clubhouses , one with a gym, pool tables, a game room Etc… laundry , tennis/pickleball courts, basketball 1/2 court, a fenced in dog park with agility equipment, fish cleaning station, a beautiful pool & hot tub and a camp store. I noticed the tent sites had nice platforms to get campers off the ground & outdoor kitchens with a sink & microwave. The employees were super nice & led us out to our site in a golf cart. I really like this KOA and we will be back for another weekend getaway.
