This RV resort has it all. It is on the water, has a clean pool, amazing restroom facilities, a large common area with a flat screen TV and several couches and sitting areas for large families or groups, a workout room, nice store and Pier 19 right on the property for food and drinks. Lots of great palm trees on... More

Stayed in our travel trailer at the SPI KOA during a recent vacation. Wonderful park. So clean with a perfect location. Do not miss eating at the Pier 19 restaurant next door. Very nice pool with hot tub. Wanted to take advantage of water aerobics at pool but never could seem to get up early enough. Heavy wind which I... More

This park is in a great location. Walking distance to the beach, shopping and many restaurants. The free Wave bus service on the island is a big plus. Overall the staff was friendly. Unfortunately the park itself leaves a lot to be desired. We had booked in advance for 3 months so we were locked in. The spaces are very... More

If not for the beautiful and convenient location of this campground, I would not rate as highly as I did. It has gotten terribly expensive for an excruciatingly small space of land. That price however, does include a nice view and some interesting avian life (if virtually no other wildlife), not to mention the uniquely eclectic atmosphere of SPI. We... More

Well, it's not camping. It is what it is. It reflects some of the worst aspects of our culture, but it is apparently compatible with our lust for immediate gratification and comfort, our laziness and our greed. I incude myself. It's being crammed in among row upon row of enormous hermetically sealed chrome and metal gas-guzzling poluting behemoths in a... More

As always the KOA measures up to my expectations. We stayed here in a motorhome. This is a great park with a wonderful restaurant, Pier 19, right there. The lots with patio are very nice if not a little small. And in keeping with the KOA tradition, the prices are expensive.

We have been traveling through a few states this winter in all kind of recommended Rv parks. We greatly enjoyed our stay at this park. Yes, the sites are not that big, unless you take a pull through site and it is rather expensive. We paid 59.99 for a site with patio and 6$ more because we were three adults.... More

We rented two spots for Bikefest and ha a great time. The people were great and the place was spotless. We will stay here from now on. We spent more time BBQing and hanging out in the pool and hot tub then we did on the beach. Not to mention saving hundreds by not getting hotel rooms during an event... More

We are having a great experience here! We requested to change spaces after only a couple days and the staff were more than accomodating. They insisted on refunding the extra money we would have coming back from moving to a different site, even though we didn't expect or ask for the return of that money. I also had an urgent... More

We stayed in a waterfront Cabin and loved it! There was ample space for all of us. A queen bedroom for us, bunk beds for the kids, and a pull out sofa also. The place was clean, the staff was amazing, the views were majestic, close to everything, and the dolphins swam right outside our porch every day. We could... More
