This park was awful from the moment we pulled in. We are tent campers, and have stayed at many other KOA Kampgrounds. This park is on a bayou, allowing for a wonderful assortment of large, biting bugs. We got a site "on the water," which proved to be a paved area with a picnic table, and a small opening in... More

This place is so relaxing and family oriented that you will feel like home being there. On Friday night we roasted smores and went swimming. Saturday the while day was so easily planned by Koa that after breakfast we went to Treasure island beach right by Johns pass. The beach was so nice and who can't beat the white sands.... More

I thought the cabins were perfect and reasonably priced. I caught two fish within an hour of arriving! The campground is centrally located near John's Pass, The Sunshine Skyway Bridge and St. Petersberg. The place is lively, but the party was contained. Lori, the manager gave us a tour before we rented. She really went the extra mile to ensure... More

Great grounds and quaint cabins...but that is about it. Be prepared to bring Amazon Mosquito repellant and deal with maw and paw Jed...as this reminded me of the days during Hee Haw Junction. Don't get me wrong...these kind folks kinda have their own ways about them. They had a few functions that were feasible...but next time I think about camping... More

We stayed for 4 nights at the end of March for our spring break. We had a site on the water, which really meant mangroves. There was a small area where we could get our kayaks in and out. The whole bayou that surrounds the campground is oyster beds. The boys tried to do some exploring on the sandbars, but... More

Everything was less than expected. Pool area crowded Not many sunbeds or chairs. Looked better on internet. Staff in a funny combo of shop/reception. Does not really go well. Homeless people, OR nearly homeless?, passing by OR living there? Too dark at night. Does not feel safe. Water in bayou not ok for swimming. More

I thought the place was fantastic! The cabin and showers were clean. I caught two fish within an hour of setting up camp. It is close to Madiera Beach, John’s Pass and St. Pete. I now know where my Gulf Coast campground is. Thanks KOA, you’re the best! More

I went to the KOA in person to inspect sites for a month-long stay. The registration is in the general store and there is no separation between check-out for a soda and registration/maintenance/complaints/other business. I stood at the registration desk for about half an hour while a constant stream of customers came and went. Tonda was engaged in an extremely... More

We have stayed at many KOA's and usually they live up to a certain good standard and we know what to expect. Unfortunately not this Madeira Beach KOA. When we pulled in we noticed that they had a pool except that it was extremely crowded then we noticed that all the sites were extremely close. We had a very tight... More

Was looking for a good alternative to tent camping this weekend due to possible rain. Stayed in one of the Kabins. If you are looking for space, these aren't for you. Just enough room for a double bed and a set of bunk beds. However, it was nice to be able to skip setting up and breaking down camp, as... More
