This campground is quiet and might have been a nice place at one time. It used to have cable tv but apparently it was lost when a rig was pulling out and caught on an overhanging branch which in turn caught on the cable wire and tore it down and damaged the cable system. It was supposed to be fixed in February but it never came about. Comcast did however show up in March for two days at which time they only spent 30 minutes each day and have not been seen again since. We checked in here for about a week but may end up staying longer. Here are the drawbacks for this campground. There are some really bad riffraff living in old beat up RVs out in the very back of the campground. They are rowdy at times and police are often called in to settle the many disputes that go on here. They give the place a bad reputation but the owner seems oblivious to it, all she cares about is getting the money. She relies on the guy who owns the store to tend to 'her' campground, she seldom even shows up to check on things. She makes quite a chunk from the campground but she is putting none of that money back into the campground. Another bad thing is that the campground advertises that they have 28 sites, not so. It only has about 10 working sites. Most all the remaining site are dead sites, nothing works. The trouble with the sites is that for the bigger rigs it is difficult to maneuver into them and getting out is no better or easier. As for the noise factor, besides the riffraff there is also roosters somewhere nearby and they crow from early morning till late night and can be quite nerve wracking after a bit. There are almost no roads to speak of in the park, they are all dirt and pretty much overgrown with grass and fallen leaves. One other bad thing, at times the air sinks because of a factory in the area. Breathing the air is sickening both here and in Perry. As for the bathrooms, from the looks of the building they are pretty dilapidated and i wouldn't venture inside for fear they may collapse. The laundry room??? No washers or dryers to speak of, they've all been ripped out of the wall. So, would i recommend this campground???? Absolutely not. But if one is desperate and has no choice then its a good stop only to sleep if you can with the highway right there next to the rig. I will not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not a bad campground but not great either. Sites and roads are packed sand separated by grass. Size site is adequate. Price high for facility but normal for KOA. Most sites are shaded - not a good thing for us. Could not get satellite TV, campground cable is basic-CNN, 4 local channels and a few others. No FOX News, no ESPN, TNT, SPEED or any premium movie channels. Decent Wi-Fi for us. Grass between sites needed cut when we were there, perhaps due to lots of rain recently. Nice pool, small playground and small fenced dog run. There was a bad odor in the air part of the day (paper mill?) that cleared towards evening. OK for overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A KOA park. The pool was very clean and the Wi-Fi weak at my site. I thought it was very pricy for this time of year. There are not many choices in this area. The staff was friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a horrible park to stay in. It seemed fine at first everyone seemed very nice. We got settled in and decided to go for a swim, the pool that was supposed to be heated was not it was freezing cold! The spa was very dirty to where debris was floating all around in a very small spa. The owners are butt holes they complained about towels being hung outside!!! Then they said our dogs were barking and could not be left alone not even in our motorhome. Well, are we supposed to take them to the pool area (where they are not allowed)? So this is not a pet friendly park at all. I would advise you bring some good bug repellent because the bugs carry you off! Also the breaker kept flipping several times during the night! Huge acorns fell on our sky lights causing damage! We stayed for about 2 weeks during that time the pool was closed most of the time and their daily activities were a joke! Most of the activities involved the pool which was either too cold or closed! I can not believe they are actually called a KOA. It's a insult to KOA's name!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This KOA is a good big-rig stop. Level pull-thrus, convenient, spacious. Staff is friendly and very helpful. We would stay here again, and probably will when we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great overnight stop with good size pull-thrus. They also have shadier spots with larger sites for people who stay longer. We would use this campground again. It has free cable and WiFi. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here in our 5th wheel for two nights and got a free pancake breakfast and Superbowl Party dinner. This is a great park that is clean,friendly and safe. Perry has a number of RV parks that look run down as does most of the town. RV'ers would use this as a stop on the way to another destination. I would not feel safe in some parks we passed by. This is a good time to use a well run KOA Campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is the second time we have stayed at this park; it seems cleaner than last spring. A quiet park just south of Perry with long pull-thrus, gravel sites and others for other types of camping. There are paved roads through the park and much grass plus a table for each site. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are weekend evening activities for campers and food is available on site (pizza and sandwiches). Waffles are available on the weekends. Laundry has a porch with rockers and restrooms and showers are clean. There is good cable and wifi. We like this park and will return again. We downgraded because we did have difficulty leveling. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We loved this RV park - came for a few weeks and stayed almost a year! Friendly staff with beautiful wooded and/or sunny sites. The pool is extra nice and so are the pet walk and pet fetch area. I've heard the pool will be open all winter this year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Perry, Florida has certainly seen better days. Still, there’s an old Florida feel to the location that makes a stop or brief stay here, enjoyable. I75 has created a sufficient while not necessary bypass to Perry yet a diversion to old Rt 19 would be worthwhile to those heading for but not in a rush to get further south or north. The Perry KOA is, well, a KOA. In a word predictable. Adequate facilities, including cable tv and wireless internet that work. Attentive and competent staffing a decent location and an attempt to provide an array of interesting activities. Good snack-bar with pizza etc... delivery to your unit. The transient, pull-through sites are a bit tight (except D row) so if your planning on spending a couple of days request the wooded sites. Would certainly stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Spacious lots, nice and quiet campground. We chose a back-in lot to save a few $, and had to do some leveling. Showers are large and clean, and each have a shower chair. Fenced in dog run, but dummy me, I couldn't figure out how to open the gate! Large oak trees with a few open spaces for satellite setup. Good Wi-Fi signal, free for multiple computers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have now stayed in this camp ground 3 times and will continue to go back. We have 2 kids under 7 years old and this place is perfect. The kids enjoy the playground and the pool as the adults enjoy relaxing while kids are happy. The managers and staff are wonderful to deal with and were very helpful to us on our first ever motor home adventure. This is a great place if you don't need to be entertained by planned activities. We loved it just the way it is. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I guess it would be a "typical" KOA. Nice people and clean facilities, just the sites are tight and the price is high. A good overnight stop on US 19. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a better than average KOA. Access was easy in and out, restrooms very clean, and sites were nice and level. Wi-fi is available, and staff is friendly and very helpful. Would return here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent campground and amenities. Very well run and personable owner who takes pride in her business. It quickly became one of my favorite places to visit with the small town atmosphere, water views and fishing. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Passport America rate of $20 all inclusive for 50amp, water, sewer, Wi-Fi & Cable TV. Park is mostly trailers and 5th's, 30 sites taken with them but no one around. It's pretty much a fish camp where they leave the trailer and boat for weekend / non-winter use. There are 6 back-in sites right against the gulf, sites are deep enough for any rig, but sort of tight, 20-22' wide. We spent 5 nights here, first 4 were good. But on the last night a 5th parked in site next to us and then crammed his tow vehicle between our MH and his 5th. Could not access our outside compartments, but we were leaving anyway. Not much here. We would come back but would make sure that we were next to another MH or empty trailer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Agree completely with previous review. Sawmill operates from 7:00 A.M. to midnight. Sounds like jet planes next door. Would not recommend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The facility is located next to a production saw mill. This facility runs for 16 hrs. a day with heavy noise levels. The permanent units next to the park are very poor quality. Most have a fence with a guard dog in the yard. We arrived before other units starting to arrive. Another camper warned us that this was not a real safe area. When about 10 other units came into the park, we felt more secure. The park is behind an older motel and uses common facilities. The owners are older and have lost some control due to the amount of work required and the age of the facility. Although the sites are pull-thru, they are very difficult to enter. They advertise big rig sites, but this is a big exageration. I will never use this facility again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
