We welcome guests who enjoy traveling with their pets! However, to ensure all of our guests have a safe and enjoyable time, please read the following:

• Aggressive dogs of any breed are not welcome at any KOA. If your dog shows behavior that is protective and unfriendly to strangers, please leave it at home. If you decide to bring your dog and it exhibits this type of behavior, the owner or management of the KOA will ask you to please find other camping accommodations.
  
• All dogs are required to be under the control and visual observation of their owner at all times. No dog should be left tied up and unattended outside the owner's camping equipment.
  
• Allowing your pet to bark uncontrollably day or night will not be permitted and you may be asked to leave if you are not able to control your pet's barking behavior.

• Car Rental - There is an Enterprise Car Rental office less than a mile away from our campground that can help you get set up with a rental car while you are visiting.

Welcome to Orlando Southwest KOA Holiday - your basecamp for Central Florida!

Matthew Koromhas, General Manager at the Orlando Southwest KOA Holiday, as well as Orlando/Kissimmee KOA Holiday always felt he had a future working in the campground business—perhaps because he grew up in the Orlando/Kissimmee-based campground where he now works. Matt was first employed as a groundskeeper and firewood "guy" who delivered firewood to camp sites at Orlando / Kissimmee KOA Holiday after the property was relocated in 2002. After a few years, he began working the front desk and general store, and also took on bookkeeping for the campground. Matt left KOA in 2004 to work for Walt Disney World Resort, and loved every minute of it. After eight years with Disney, Matt took on a supervisory role at Fiorellas Cucina Toscana, a 4Diamond Hotel Restaurant located in Orlando.

Having Matt oversee both parks now is no far stretch of the imagination, as he is very familiar with the area and the guests who visit year after year. "It is a real team effort to make sure things run smoothly," says Matt. "Our goal is to have the camper wishing they could stay longer and enjoy everything that KOA and Central Florida have to offer."

When not in a yellow KOA shirt, Matt enjoys spending time with his family and meeting new people. He also enjoys going to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, spending his free time honing his carpentry skills, and being a movie and music buff.
