We’ve been staying here in one of the cottages since 12/31 and it’s been a great place to call our temporary home! It’s clean, well maintained and the staff is very friendly and helpful! Lillia, Lynette and Linda in the office went the extra mile to make sure our stay has been enjoyable. Special shoutout to their groundskeepers, AJ and CJ. They are super helpful, prompt and friendly! Definitely recommend this place to stay! We are bummed that our time here is winding down but we look forward to coming back!

We stay here during our travel trip out west and had a wonderful time. The staff there was kind, friendly and helpful specially AJ. The sites were decent and the restrooms and laundry room were clean. Definitely on our return list for next year.

Stayed for a week in a cabin at this KOA - DK9. It was awesome! From the amazing staff to the accommodations my stay was great. The cabin I was in had views of Perdido Bay and was tucked in the back of the campground where it was nice and quiet. Highly recommend!! Photos from the porch of DK9.

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.
