Grass and weeds knee high. Washer dryers out of order, laundry room a mess and flooded. Tent sites under water and flood. Don't believe when it says "grass pad". We never found the grass. Roads washed out. Last year's fall leaves still piled everywhere. Adding new sites but can't maintain the ones they already have.

Great kampground,

Overall it was pretty cool. We didn’t spend a whole lot of time at the campground but what little we did we enjoyed. My only complaint is that quiet hours weren’t followed in the whispering woods. Other than that it was great.

We had a beautiful view that overlooked Perdido Bay. They are still renovating, It will be even better once they finish.

We loved that this was 45 minutes to the beach, and it was on a beautiful bay. We pitched a tent and it was very affordable for the location. The sites are very close together but that's typical for maximum profit. We didn't like that the picnic table was so small and rickety. And no paper towels in the bathroom. We wish we would have checked out the pool and hot tub! We plan on returning!

It was a good stay overall. Not great but good. I was disappointed that the guys bathroom was not cleaned on Sunday. Not sure why but it wasn’t. My wife said the ladies was cleaned but the guys definitely wasn’t.

It’s a really nice place, and plenty of things to see and do. If you do plan on tent camping, we would highly recommend checking the weather. The campsites closest in the whispering woods is great! But it’s down hill and while raining all runs down those sites. We still had a great experience even being rained on. :)

Nice place on the bay with the dock to hang out on. The lady who checked me in was very nice. My only complaint is the water in the bathroom. You have to put your hands under the faucet for the water to comes out. Very little water comes out so you have to keep putting your hands under the faucet.

B5 Campsite extremely poor conditions for a tent set up especially at a premium cost. The landscape appeared to be heavily used as a driveway had packed down sand with ruts and uneven very hard surface. Under the impression that was last site available until the next day was offered a chance to relocate to another site which would have been inconvenient to do so.

We had a great time visiting with family & watching the Blue Angel show across the bay. Thank you for placing us so close together, it helped when running back & forth for items. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. The pups loved the K-9 park & we felt very safe at night with the lights.

Everything was absolutely wonderful.Except we didn't get to stay because the camping spot that we got.We didn't find out until evening was covered in fire.Ants. They filled our tent so we were unable to stay Which was sad because we were enjoying everything. I'm sure if we had found out earlier.We could have moved to a different site But we didn't find out until after the office was closed

Tent site was small for my 8 person tent.. the slope road was kinda hard for me. But I am getting old lol. Over all had great time with my grand kids. They loved it. Thank you.

Fairly clean. Friendly staff. Tent camping needs to be more accommodating. Pool temp was perfect. hot tub wasn’t very warm nor very clean. No sign of where to turn on jets for tub. So it was sitting in a chilly bathtub.

I have always had good experiences at Gulf Shores/ Pensacola West KOA and will continue to stay here each time I am in the area. The entire campground is clean and all of the employees are kind and helpful. Jennifer was able to help me multiple times during our stay for "stay" related issues I was having as well as recommendations for non "stay" related activities.

Great facilities. Very nice pool. Local discount was a surprise and will definitely be taking advantage of it in the future. The only problem I have with the grounds is their beach needs to be redone and cleaned. Unable to lay out and enjoy by the water.

It’s quiet with beautiful view of bay and sunrise. I will not stay anywhere else. Very friendly and the store has a little bit of everything you need. I would tell anybody traveling that way stay at the Koa you will love it there.

Everything was where it was needed. Of course, off of the bay, it was great view. Overall, it was a pleasant place to stay.

The campsite was clean and neat. Bathrooms well-stocked and clean. The faucets automatic flow was a little glitchy and didn't always turn on in the bathrooms. There were wasps in the playground and the gaga ball court, and the gaga ball and basketball were flat. The employees were very nice and helpful. Very pleasant stay.

We did the tent camping here and although the amenities were nice, you are packed in like sardines on top of each other. I had one neighbor set their tent up at 10pm and another at 3AM. The RV next to us were up until 1AM partying. If quiet hours were actually enforced and you had some space it would be a nice stay but would not recommend tent camping.

Love the campground. Great view from my tent site. Clean restrooms. The staff was not the greatest but it was not big deal.

Everyone was so friendly! Bathrooms, showers we very clean. Smaller campground but the lots were very spacious.

Wonderful and polite workers at the desk. The grounds keepers were out working and would acknowledge you with a smile and a nod. The facilities were clean and our spot was as presented online. Will definitely be back

This was just the place I was looking for to get some rest, and enjoy my surroundings. I loved the pool, hot tub, the views, the ease of getting around, and the fact of having clean showers, and the park itself was immaculate. The staff was amazing.

We are repeat "glampers" and I'd like to offer an objective review for everyone! First, the positives: We stayed in the Starfish for 2 nights and the Sand Dollar for 1 night. While the description of the Sand Dollar on line is incorrect (there are no bunk beds), we loved our stay. We preferred the Starfish space because it DID have bunk beds. Both the Starfish and Sand Dollar have mini-fridge, Keurig, and microwave with a full bathroom. There is a grill and a firepit. I am LOVING the update to TWO split level mini ac units. Our last visit (years ago) only had one AC and it malfunctioned most of the time. It was SO nice this time to not be hot! Hint: crank them up and LEAVE THEM ON so it's nice and cool when you return from a day on the beach. This KOA is located directly on the bay with a lovely fishing pier and an incredible view. We saw dolphins daily. The pier faces East, so the view of the sunrise each day was breathtaking. There is a swimming and a fishing area, but I DO NOT recommend the swimming area. People fish on both sides of the pier, and we all know what chumming the water does in an ocean. We saw no sharks, but took no chances either. There are also random hooks and things that careless fishing left behind. We all caught fish off the pier using shrimp for bait. Were they huge? No, but we made memories and had a blast. The camp store is well stocked and reasonably priced. I do recommend shopping for necessities at local grocery store or big box store. They are a few miles away. The camp store is good for a quick trip, though. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The kids LOVED the pool. It was simply too hot during our visit to consider the use of the hot tub, but it looked nice. There is a large colony of feral kitties under the separate outdoors bathroom/shower area near the pier. There are kittens and adults. They are very frightened and stay away, but they were sweet to see. We love cats, though. They did find our fish bait on the patio and finished the shrimp off for us. Now for the negatives: The office staff keep very limited hours, and it is difficult to reach them by phone. They never responded to emails sent in the weeks leading up to our arrival. That was VERY frustrating. Both the Star fish and Sand Dollar cabins had "iffy" smoke detectors. The Sand Dollar's was hanging out of the ceiling, and the Star Fish was missing entirely though the wires were there. There are fire extinguishers in the kitchen. Thank goodness, we didn't need them! We were given the wrong key to the Star Fish and couldn't get in our room. We got back to the office just as they were closing for the day to swap keys. Then the door knob nearly fell off as we were checking out, and we couldn't lock the door. They did send maintenance right away, so that's good news! Conclusion: I have to say that once again, we loved our stay at this KOA. Overall, you cannot go wrong with this choice. With the exception of a few quirky "negatives," it's a great place. Dated, quaint, off the beaten track, and peaceful. Exactly what we needed. It's about a 15 minute drive to Johnson Beach and about a 40 minute drive to Pensacola Beach. We visited both every day.

We had a easy time pulling in and setting up, the while camp ground is comfy and we'll maintained. And the manager was so helpful knowing what to do locally!
