Nature lovers and cyclists will appreciate the direct access to the Pinellas Trail, a 47-mile paved path that winds through the county. The setting is uniquely coastal, featuring mangrove-lined shores and a tranquil bayou that feels secluded despite being conveniently located near major shopping centers and local dining favorites in the heart of Pinellas County.

The staff was very helpful & friendly. We had some issues with our travel trailer and a staff member came over and helped us. Great experience. Views/property is beautiful.

Fantastic location in St Petersburg, Florida. The service staff is excellent and the bayou sites have all been redone. They are recovering quite nicely from our hurricanes last year. Great pool area and stocked market. Really reasonable off-peak prices. The bayou sites are nice and wide, bricked, nice outdoor furniture. The electric hookups have been put on pedestals, great idea! We love this place. We live in St Pete and we just bring the camper here for the weekend sometimes.

We stayed at the KOA this past weekend with family and had an amazing time — even without taking full advantage of all the campground amenities! The grounds were clean, peaceful, and beautifully kept. You could truly feel the calm from the moment you arrived. Everything was neat, quiet, and made us feel right at home. The staff was incredible — friendly, helpful, and made the check-in process super smooth. Even though we didn’t use the pool, hot tub, or rent bikes or kayaks, just being on-site was relaxing. The location is close to beaches like Madeira and Treasure Island, and you can easily drive to shops or restaurants nearby. We loved the deluxe cabin with AC and a private bathroom — clean, cozy, and perfect for our family. It felt like a mini retreat. Everything was truly perfect. Whether you’re an experienced camper or a first-timer, I 100% recommend this KOA — and we’re already planning to come back!

Perfect Cabin Getaway – Can’t Wait to go back! First time staying at KOA Holiday St. Petersburg / Madeira Beach was absolutely perfect! The cabin was spotless, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed — including comfortable 2 sets of bunk beds and a queen size bed, a kitchenette, and a private porch where we could relax with our morning coffee while watching the sunrise. The campground itself is beautiful and peaceful, with plenty of shade and well-maintained grounds. We loved taking advantage of the bike and kayak rentals. I did enjoyed the fire pit we had outside the cabin where my friend and I made delicious s’mores. It’s also just a short drive to Madeira Beach and other fun spots around St. Pete. The staff were friendly and helpful from check-in to check-out, and you can tell they really care about making guests feel welcome. A huge thanks and a huge shout out to Raquel who made sure we had an amazing experience. She not only make sure our cabin was immaculate at all times but she also provided us with useful information about places to visit around the area like John’s Pass, St. Petersburg Pier and War Veteran’s Memorial Park. This KOA has the perfect mix of nature and comfort, and it’s ideal for a group of friends, couples, families, or anyone looking to unwind in a cabin without roughing it. Highly recommend — I’m already planning my next stay!

Fantastic experience. We were stuck between selling and buying a new house for what ended up being 2 weeks. The front desk was amazing in allowing us flexibility in reservations and accommodations for our family. Great facility with tons of activities to keep the family entertained.
