Great Campground! It's very clean and centrally located to Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Pensacola! Staff was amazing! I had an issue with shade and my solar panel and the moved me with no problems, in one phone call too! I will definitely be returning to this KOA in the future and suggesting it to other camper friends. They have lots of cabins too, boat slips, pool and hot tub. It really has everything you need. Happy camping 🏕!

This location is nice with the water right there but it is not a place I would return to. It was ok clean, but not kept up very well. Lots of maintenance needing done. Ferral cats that steal your food (who bag of hot dog buns) and your pets food. The long term residents or employees maybe? Have a four wheeler that is obnoxiously loud and revved unnecessarily and running all the time for who knows what. Same thing with a gray Porsche - revving the engine just to be loud and FLYING down the roads - def not following 5 mph. It was not peaceful or relaxing, just other people’s noises

This is from 5 years ago when I stayed here in 2020. I’ve stayed at plenty of KOA’s that were very clean and well kept. Owners took pride in how well their facilities were kept. The bathrooms near the camping cabins were nasty. Don’t get me started on how nasty the cabin was…there were BED BUGS. I had never seen a bed bug in my life until I stayed at this KOA. I had horrible bites all over my body, I developed a reaction to it. Luckily, while my husband and I were traveling we realized that we had gotten the bed bugs and spent 500 dollars to have pest control come exterminate our vehicle and then we left all our items in our car so the heat could kill any potential bed bugs that “may” have lived. We didn’t drive his vehicle for a month after that. Just left it in the scalding heat. This KOA should be ashamed themselves ( the owners should be ashamed) and they should not be allowed to be part of the KOA franchises. Disgusting.

Quiet, friendly staff. Not up to KOA standards- sites need significant work to bring in new gravel as sites were not even close to level. Needs landscape work as there were overgrown areas. Sites are not well marked and utilites at site difficult to find/missing. Security guy was very friendly and helpful. They keep up with taking out the trashcan. Overall ok, but could use a serious revamp/update.

My experience here was amazing! There is water access, a pool, clubhouse and playground. The bathrooms throughout the park as long as the clubhouse are always very clean and well maintained thanks to Linda canon! Thank you for a great experience!

I want to start of by saying my family has been coming to this KOA every summer for the last 7 years. We come back every year because we absolutely love this place. We have never had a complaint until we went this summer 2025. It was dirty everywhere with trash cans over filled. The cabin we were in this year was dirty when we got there we had to clean it before we took our things in. The bath rooms and showers where nasty.They now allow non campers in the pool for $5.00 a day, people where drinking and smoking in the pool area. The so called new security guy and his wife where in the pool all day with a buch of there grandkids. Also the security guys son cuts grass there and he was not doing anything but ralking and getting in the pool all day. The security guy told us his wife is the one that cleans and I said no she does not. We were very disappointed in this summer 2025 trip. I don't know if they changed owers but something has to change.

Thank ya’ll for this experience i had and amazing experience Linda the person who cleaned before us did and amazing job. Having the clubhouse and pool being so close together was great not many campsites have had a bathroom so close to the pool. The cleanliness of the bathroom and shower was amazing.

Our room was across from the pool and it was great, it’s was dog friendly. The bathrooms and clubhouse was nice and very clean. Linda Cannon was awesome, she made sure we had a wonderful time.

This was our third stay here and we have loved it each time. It appears that this time around the campground is under new management/owner. We had no issues, all staff was friendly and responsive when any issue arose. I do understand this is a business however, my only complaint is that they now allow the general public to use the amenities for a $5 fee. Specifically the pool and while there we got some less than desirable types of people who played loud explicit music and were smoking in the pool area which is not allowed. I did contact security and he did take care of it, as I did not want my children ages 6 and under exposed to that kind of behavior. Other than that small hiccup we enjoyed our stay and will be back again next summer. We were also told that they are working on having more activities for the kids to do like crafts and such which we can't wait to do when we visit again.

We arrived late in the evening at this KOA. Upon arrival when we entered the campground, we did not know where the office was to pick up our site number and map. There are no reflectors on the sign posts and the signage is very small. So, if you are not looking in the right direction nor are your headlights, you will miss the tiny office sign “office ⬆️” . All the campers respected the quiet hours which made for peaceful night sleep. The office opens at 9:00am. However, the office lady showed up between 9:10-9:15am. The ladies bathroom is up to date in coordinated gray and white flooring and wall tile. However, the bathroom was never cleaned during our three night stay. The same dead bugs and gross swear on the flooring was there for our entire stay. The hot tub was a bit undesirable. The campground does have its own boat ramp and docks and is a short walk to. In the morning, there are lots of jumping fish and school(s) of minnows. If you plan on visiting the Naval base for the museum and Fort Barracks, anyone 18 and older needs a “Real ID” to enter.

Stayed here for 4 nights the last week of April 2025 in a 38ft bumper pull. The location is convenient to either Gulf Shores or Pensacola which was nice, the pool at the KOA is very nice with variety in the depth and a waterfall. The RV spots are nicely spaced and we stayed in those with bushes on each side for extra privacy. So why the 3 stars you ask? Service. It was awful... this place closes the office at odd hours like 4:30 in the afternoon on a Tuesday, the laundry area is a joke with only quarter machines and a broken change machine. Went to get quarters from the office and guess what... closed of course. The dog park is nice but 3 of the 4 nights the dog bags were empty inside so bring your own! Also, the trash for the dog waste was rarely emptied and in the heat it was nauseating. Then they had the nerve to send out a text telling people to pick up after their dogs... maybe refill the dog bags and they would??

I had never been to a KOA campground before but all area state parks were booked that weekend so I figured let's give them a shot. The park is rather modest, they have all the amenities you'd expect, and having campground Wifi is a plus. The park mainly caters to RVs but there was a good spot for tent camping in the back, which is what I did. I expected noisy generators to be running, but each RV site had shore power so the place was very quiet at night. The site had ample room for me to park and set up, they had a slightly elevated grassy pad to pitch my tent on and electricity and water. Overall a pretty good experience, even though I was there for a couple nights. The park is a little out of the way but it's fairly close to Orange Beach and Pensacola. Having the bay a short walk away was nice, though the weather didn't cooperate too much. Not their fault. The only downsides I can think of are that in the back of the grassy pad, there's a ton of sand, and I brought some in my tent every time I walked in. Not sure why there's a pile of sand there. The other one is the bathroom facilities. Very nice to have and were clean enough, but the showers could use a little TLC.

We love this KOA. The people are nice and we always have a five star experience. This most recent stay, we did have a couple of issues but they were resolved quickly. I booked a tiny cottage for my Mom and our site at the same time. I spoke to them as well. When we got there after hours, her cabin and our site were on opposite ends of the campground. I should have been more clear that we wanted them together. Also, her bathroom in her cabin had not been cleaned at all. There was BM on the toilet, black hair in the shower, toothpaste spatter on the sink and mirror, and very little toilet paper. Because it was 9 pm when we got there, we cleaned it ourselves with rubber gloves and supplies we had in our camper. I did tell them about it when we were checking out and they were very apologetic and gave us a portion of credit. They explained their normal cleaning person was out for surgery and some of the guys that work there cleaned it and must have missed the bathroom. They were very kind and we had a chuckle about how guys clean. They also helped us move to a site closer to Mom the next day. The kids enjoyed a scavenger hunt put on we would have stayed a couple more days if one of the kids had not gotten sick. We will definitely be back. We have camped here before and all have been 5 star experiences.

A small, older, quiet park which is okay by me. We enjoy the smaller, older parks that aren't full of golf carts zooming around all day and half the night. Had a gravel based, pretty level site with a small wooded patio, which could have used an update and a picnic table. Entrance and exit from the park are at an angle that seems to cause some scrapping issues judging by the gouges in the asphalt. Too early in the season to use the pool, but looked clean and cozy. Didn't need to deal with many staff members (which is a good thing), but the ones I did see were very friendly and helpful. Convenient to Mobile and Pensacola areas. Lovely area on the bay with a pier and seats to enjoy the view.
