What campers say
The resort report card
We don’t recycle other sites’ reviews, but the published scores tell a clear story: campers like the well-kept grounds, the pools, the fitness center, the busy pickleball courts and the helpful staff. The complaints are about sites packed close together, holiday crowds and Wi-Fi that works best by the pool.

Before you book
Plan your stay
Everything that decides whether the Okeechobee KOA fits your rig, your dates and your budget, in one place.
Our take: a full-on resort for RVers who want to stay busy: golf out the door, two pools, pickleball, a lounge and a grill, with full hookups and sites for nearly any rig. It isn’t quiet or cheap, the sites are close together, and the cancellation rules are strict, but if you want activities more than solitude, it delivers.

Five things that change your booking
Ask these on the phone before you reserve.
- Which site type fits my rig? Pull-In KOA Patio sites run 83 to 135 ft; ask before you book a back-in.
- Is 50 amp guaranteed? KOA guarantees it on large concrete-pad sites; ask about others.
- Is there a dump station? A camper reported there isn’t one, only sewer at the sites.
- How do I book a tee time? Tee times are required; call the park.
- What does Wi-Fi cost? It’s a paid extra; ask about the price and coverage at your site.
