Easy to pull in and get out. Spaces could be larger so it doesn't feel like a parking lot. Only 4 stars because I think they should have a section where there are no family's or kids so all the old retired folks that don't use any amenities can do so far away from the folks that do use the pool, the bikes, basketball, etc. sure they would have a lower rate but then they wouldn't complain about kids scratching their rig and throwing mud balls at them. Also would like to see more gravel once gravel turns to dust. You know what I am talking about if you washed your rig before you arrived. I think I would also like more campground to allow you to wash your rig especially if they have a10yr rule. Didn't get to try their pizza but like having food options if your pulling in later and don't want to drag the grill out for a quick dinner. If you like the KOA cancellation policy 👍 or koas in general ❤️give this review a like 👍❤️. If you don't like koas, then just keep scrolling

Speaking as a guy, its fine. I got the step up cabin. Queen bed and bunk, so sleeps 4. It has small fridge, coffee pot, microwave, small kitchet in the living room if you call it that, i call it kitchen/dinning combo. Intended as 2-3 night stay. It has a pool great for me and and any kids.

Our site was perfect for an overnight in Florida in July! Shade, a long pull-thru, and great power levels.The only thing better than the site was the staff! Every single one we dealt with or saw was friendly and helpful. We will stay again!

We unfortunately found out why it's so cheap to stay here. A manager who is a condo commando and likes to yell at and harass women while they are alone. I asked him to leave me alone so many times. Then I went inside and he pounded on the door and tried to enter my camper. It got so bad I had to call the police to get him to leave me alone. We have been camping full time for two years without any incident so I know it's not us. Bad news.

Nice KOA that’s kept very nice. Easy in and out for big rigs. Large trees for shade. Friendly staff. Site # 72 was level and long. Nice green space between sites. Pool area was cozy and taken care of. Bathrooms clean. Our pups loved it! Would stay again.

Fast check-in, escort to site, quiet campground. We have always enjoyed our stays at Starke KOA during our snowbird migration trips. They now have a written policy banning all flags, banners and signs. I agree with this policy, but would like to see a clearly defined exception for the American Flag. They also require liability insurance and a driver's license for golf cars, scooters and other motorized vehicles powered by gas, electric or propane. My wife uses a battery powered mobility scooter. Do those restrictions apply?

Staff was accommodating even though we arrived late. The deluxe cabin is quaint and functional. No issues with power, AC, plumbing. But there was dog food spilled under the couch, underwear on the master bedroom floor, the freezer thawed all our food, and the proximity of our cabin to an open gate leading to the back of a shopping center made this a place we’ll not recommend. Despite the issues, the grounds are pretty nice and typical of the dozen or so KOAs we’ve stayed at.

This KOA campground is extremely clean and well cared for. All personnel the we encountered were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The pull thru sites were 90' long, with an asphalt driveway and concrete patio. There was a lot of grassy area between campsites. Will return soon. Also, there were excellent stores and restaurants very close by.

The nicest KOA we've ever stayed at. Sites very nice, plenty of room. All the staff were very nice and helpful. Great place to stay on the way to south Florida. Once again our 21 - 22 trip to this KOA was great. Met the "happiest" person ever at a KOA. In fact they call her Happy.

We stayed at the Starke KOA on our way south. The staff was great and very friendly. The sites are all large, level and very well spaced out. They had a group campfire where we had a chance to meet other campers. We only stayed 2 nights but this campground would be a good place to spend more time at. The Starke area has good restaurants and stores close by. We will definitely be back at this KOA!
