The Port Lavaca/Matagorda Bay KOA is wonderful!—the staff was very helpful, everything was so clean, the kids/everyone loved swimming, the splash pad, fishing on the pier, the beach area, and the root beer floats!! Such a family atmosphere!! We will return!!!

This is a beautiful campground, one of the best in the KOA system. Nice sites, friendly staff, nice little cafe and store. Lots of activities available.

From the moment I arrived at the site, untill I left, I really enjoyed it and I felt unbelievable comfortable. The grounds are clean, they had fun events all weekend long and Deann and Donny were super friendly and accommodating. They made me feel like part of family.

We stayed 7 nights at this quiet and relaxing park on the bay. Plenty of amenities. Restrooms were always clean. Friendly and accommodating staff who are always ready to please. Fantastic fishing pier. By far the best KOA we have stayed at. We can't wait to stay there again.

It was our first time and we loved it! Space 135 was perfect, we will be back. S’mores were great, kids loved the pool and arcade. The restrooms were clean as well which was important. Staff was super friendly and the place was quiet as well.

everything was great. I do not agree though with charging extra for adult. We have no children but do have an elderly mother that travels with us and I feel it is not right to charge extra. She used no more water than a child would. She did not use the pool or hot tub so I see no sense in the extra charge.

Grass was not mowed and mosquitoes were so bad we couldn't be outside. They spayed for mosquitoes the day we left but it should've been done before we arrived to stay in the yurt. Yurt does not look like the photo. Area was beautiful though and did enjoy that!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the campground. Our goal is to mow and spray every week weather permitting, but we had 3 foot of rain and a hurricane; please accept our apologies Happy camping!

If you are a camper that like to stay put then this place is for you. If you want to get out and enjoy the area, I recommend somewhere else. The campground was overgrown and generally seemed unkept. The staff were hit or miss on friendliness.

Thank you for your comments, we had three feet of rain in as many weeks and a hurricane; sorry for any inconvenience caused. Your feedback is valued, and we'll strive to enhance your experience next time.

We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much Ethan for being flexible with our arrival and departure date due to the tropical storm warning. Thank you Lindsey for keeping the bathroom spic-n-span and thank you to Stephen for keeping our pool nice and clean! You guys made our trip even more enjoyable!

Would have given a 5 but I don't really like the gravel lots. Also, I stepped in an ant pile. The grounds should be treated for Ants.

We love Port Lavaca/Matagorda Bay KOA. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The grounds are very clean and kept up. We highly recommend this KOA and will continue to return every Father’s Day weekend.

Overall stay was great, the grounds, staff, and activities were wonderful as always. Only complaint was the bed in our cabin (first cabin stay, we’ve always RV camped). It was very uncomfortable and noisy with any movement, making a good night’s sleep difficult. But the cabin was cute and very clean.

We had an incredible time with our girls. Our child requested to go camping for her birthday, we were able to reserve a Deluxe Cabin for our family of six. Everyone was very comfortable and the amenities offered are perfect for the experience. The staff went out of their way to ensure our birthday girl and her sisters were catered to. This is the KOA experience that made us become rewards members!

The only thing I would change would be adding group rates. For example at Christmas my family and 3 to 4 other families go to the cost for hoilday. Most of us rent cabins. We went online and the cabins are crazy priced for the winter. So sadly we will have to look somewhere else.

Thank you for visiting us and for taking the time to review. We do offer group rates but not reflected online. Please contact us directly 3618935120 *2 and a reservation agent would love to help you and your family have a Merry Christmas on the coast!

Adding even a small SANDY beach would make this place perfect. We dislike having to drive to Port Lavaca to a beach to swim and sand play. I’d also like some hooks in the cabin to hang wet towels/ swimsuits on. Ceiling fan in the bunkbed room would help with how hot and stuffy it gets in there. We did notice a new playground. Which was nice!

From the a moment we got there we enjoyed the amenities and the friendly customer service and staff. The owner was amazing and friendly and so communicative, I had lots of questions. The cabin was nice and clean on arrival. We had a little weather but thankful for the cabin. We have a pop up tent so glad we decied to use a cabin this round. We definitely want to go back again. Thank you!

Port lavaca/Matagorda Bay KOA is a great KOA to visit and escape the craziness of life! My family has enjoyed our stay here!

Me and my husband like to stay on this koa matagorda Bay he loved

THE best KOA ! I hate to leave a stellar review as I will be giving away a secret. This place is spit spot clean including the laundry room. The people running this are the best hosts. Donny and the maintenance crew kept this place immaculate. It’s by far the best KOA. Quiet and views on the bay for miles. We will be back !

Excellent. We enjoyed our stay. Cabin 3 was an excellent accomodation. We look forward to revisiting in the future.

This was our second stay. Our first was during spring break this year in our RV. We loved it so much we returned with around 20 family members to celebrate our granddaughters 5th birthday. Our family rented 2 cabins and the “glamping” tent and we had an absolute blast! The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is very clean and well maintained. We can’t wait to return. Here fishy fishy….

There isn't a beach. There is some sand that has a volleyball net up. We had 3 teens who got really bored by the 2nd day. We were scheduled to stay a week but ended leaving early due to work. The kids were happy to leave. The staff are amazing and the grounds are clean. Little kiddos probably have alot more fun since there's a playground for them. It wasn't terrible but we won't be returning.

Very relaxing!

When we arrived, we were assigned to the very last site in the park before the exit. There are no amenities and no trees near that site. I thought it was because they were so booked up for the weekend, but in fact there were many sites open the whole weekend much closer. I ended up paying extra to upgrade so we could be closer to everything. Also the wood bundles were $8 for 4 pieces. Seriously??

This was our 1st time at koa. Park was clean. Small pool. I was surprised to take my kids to the pool at noon and see all the parents drinking in the pool not paying attention to their kids. Kids under 8 fetching beer forparents. we left. Came back @ 6pm to more people drinking & Kids were in the hot tub.rules are posted notfollowed. Pool is used as a toilet. Told last minute Band canceled

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We appreciate your feedback and encourage guests to voice concerns during their stay so we can promptly address them. Our pool levels are checked three times a day and corrected as needed to ensure cleanliness. We let our guests know about the band when we knew. Thank you for helping us improve.

Such a great place to get away for a little trip. Fun things for the whole family to do. Pool was nice, splash pad, pickleball, basketball court, fishing pier just to name a few.

Had a great time in the yurt. I would probably opt for a cabin or rv in the warmer months but we hit it just right. Bathrooms we not to far and they were well kept. The staff were super nice and helpful. I didn't catch the younger staff girls name but she needs a raise, she was back and forth all weekend and usually in a slow run, and made a great pizza..👍
