Campground Reviews

Apr 03, 2021
Things were different this year due to the Encore purchase, COVID and lack of Canadians. The Shanty never reopened. The golf course was in mediocre condition. We have reservations for next year and hope things return to a better resort.

Glad to see some long time workers still here. Hope next year Shanty will be open and Convention Center will be active again. Canadians back. Coming here many years. Looking to return.

Worst part: Cable TV very sporadic, most of the time very poor reception. Shanty bar never opened although rumored to have liquor licence. Seems to be a lot of confusion in transition to new management. Hopefull things will improve not deteriorate. Best part: Pool temperature 90 degrees, thoroughly enjoyed, would come back just for the warm pool

I was somewhat disappointed by KOA this year. I realize that you are going through a change. However it did not have the same warm feeling as in years past. The lack of social activities, recognizing COVID, was a great disappointment. Almost no other activities, then also no propane, not even window take out at the Shanty. It was not operating at the same level. Sorry!

We have enjoyed staying at KOA OKEECHOBEE KOACAMPING LAND for the past four years and are looking forward to next year and enjoyed the improvements and upgrading of the great facilities provided. It is a great place to stay and enjoy a relaxing winter and enjoy golfing, walking, the pool and live entertainment along with the beautiful sunny weather. A great place to be!

I was showering getting ready for a wedding full of soap when the water was turned off without warning, this occurred at 1:37PM on Sat Mar 27, 2021. Called was told water would be turned back on ASAP but didn't know when, I was angry. Nightly price was too expensive. Fridge doors can easily be changed to hinge on wall side. Suggest darkening shade in BedRm to keep street light form bleeding in

We are 3 month snowbirds. At the end of January the camp was sold to Oncore group. The camp has not been the same.

The people that work there have always been awesome. With what we heard as a change in ownership we have seen a decline in the upkeep ect. Not having the Shanty available was disappointing

Loved our stay. Reservations already made for next year. Negative comments are for the roads that need repaving. Large pot holes. Poor drainage when it rains. Also poor Wi-Fi. We were not able to connect the entire time we were there.

The campsite was clean, a table provided and backed up to a canal. The bathrooms were very clean. The store was really lacking content and wasn't very l organized. We realize that COVID has played a part in activities being limited, however there were signs everywhere talking about The Shanty and to come by for happy hour. We looked forward to having a drink but it was closed our entire visit.

Nice campground very well-kept great location just the fact that the campsites are so overcrowded and close together was a game changer

We had a very relaxing time.

It was very pleasant! Relaxing which was what we were looking for!!!

Tent sites all had shade except ours # 320 wouldn't recommend that site to anybody . But all in all nice place good people . Pools were great . !! Grand kids love them .
Mar 31, 2021
Nice spot right up front. The weekend music was great. Pools and spa were crystal clear. Putt putt could use some updating as could the children's playground.

It was so peaceful and overall a great environment bathrooms were very close and very clean also

No maintenance getting done. No mowing. Buildings going downhill. Water line breaks and electric issues. Pool wasn't getting cleaned. Hope next year is better under new management.

Very Clean everywhere... Really nice and friendly staff. Hope to visit again soon

We was wanting a full cabin however they said there was none available so we settled with a rustic cabin. The two full cabins next to us sat empty all weekend. We enjoy sitting by the adult pool and getting drinks from the shanty however we found out the campground was sold and the shanty is not scheduled to re-open.

We love it there. We know it is changing ownership and things are going to be different. The only thing that I didn't like was the smoking at the pool. I don't care who smokes, but I think there should be a special place for them to smoke. I am an ex smoker, so maybe I don't care for it more, but I always considered others when I smoked.

Only used pool it’s ok (children’s pool)

This was our forth year wintering at the KOA, understand covid has put restrictions on some of the entertainment but the quality of the entertainment that was there this year did not meet the standard of previous years. The park has been neglected the last two years, no internet, tremendous pot holes... Understand there are new owners and hoping they bring it back to the resort it's supposed to be

Great place.

everything was great . having the golf course right there is awesome , separate family and adult pools good idea . just the shanty not open looking forward to revisit hopefully the shanty will be open . very nice stay

Very clean, nice people, we will be back again. Thank you.

Website photos were misleading. I ask if we departed a day early if it would be reimbursed and was told no, forcing us to stay the full 2 days because I was not going to gift you nearly $96 a day for a uncomfortable, misleading advertised campground. 1st and last time I will ever stay at a KOA site.
Mar 23, 2021
We were disappointed that the bar area was closed , also the entertainment was cancelled. Staff was friendly but the store was poorly stocked.

Love this place! Peaceful and everyone is always kind and helpful. Love the amenities and the golf course view!

Took almost an hour to check in and occupy site Initially assigned to campsite with no sewer Had to boil water No internet (complained with no results) Campsite was in remote corner of campground

We’ve camped at Okeechobee KOA about eight times. This time it felt a little different and then we found out that this KOA was bought out by ELS. We’re not sure if that’s a positive thing. Or instance the shanty was closed.
Mar 23, 2021
Very clean and lots to do. Very crowded during March. Only problem is that they don’t take you to your site when you check in like most KOAs do. It’s very big and they give you a map but still confusing. We’ve been there many times and will definitely go back. Since we have a motorhome and no tow car Enterprise is across the street. Very convenient to walk over. Great campground!

Open the Shanty bar! A big disappointment finding out it was closed.

We have stayed here before and so far this has been our favorite KOA. But I am handicapped and need a walker and a cabin with a bathroom definitely, and a partial kitchen and a gas barbecue make it all the better. When I called to make my reservations was told new owners and redoing advanced cabins so can't rent. Saw some of these occupied. Asked to "borrow" gas grill to our cabin, told "no" sad

The KOA is really in need of pad and road repairs throughout. However, the biggest downturn is the miscommunication between the new owners and the existing facility. We wanted to book a site for park and stay for the summer. It was completed to find out that it had already been booked by the new owners who are on a different system because some will pay more. Very sad. Loved this place before

We really enjoyed our time there. Unfortunate that the resort is going through a transition and due to that, some amenities were not open. Other than that, we will return.

The one bad thing was at site 253 there was a very dangerous cactus in a tree. We had grandkids with us 5, 7 and 9. They all got splinters from the cactus. That is not a good site for children. It would be nice if the Shanty was opened and the band was back. We have re-booked to go back with just adults this time to play golf. The grandkids loved the 3 wheel bikes, pool and playground.

Just a little tight but with all the extras you want

Nice. Only here for two weeks. Definitely caters to long termers. Well kept. 9 hole golf course. Nice small store. Small spot. Can't fit the camper and the car. Not much to do around camp ground.
