Campground Reviews

This was at least our 4th stay here and with one notable exception was as good as the previous times. There was no working wifi & when calling the tech support folks to report the issue twice, I never received a call back! When brought to the attention of the KOA staff I was basically blown off, not their problem call tech support! I'm not a happy camper after that attitude!

I apologize Richard for the poor wi fi service. Normally the tech support is very helpful. There is nothing we can do here at the campground. Hopefully our new wi fi will be installed soon! Lori

We came down to see monster jam, truck show. So I had my grandson with me. He absolutely loves swimming in the pool and playing the mini golf. We had a really nice camping spot we were across from the kayak and canoe launch. It was pretty quiet and not a lot of people that weekend.

Hi Michael, thank you for staying with us. I have been the GM here 13 years and I apologize have never had a problem like that. I am not sure who told you this but it sure seems odd. Lori

I was visiting friends in St. Pete. The Madeira KOA was close to them. I was initially placed on #516. It was in the direct baking sun. I asked for a shady lot, and the staff was kind enough to move me - 622 or something like that. All of the lots in that area are "lumpy & bumpy" with broken asphalt, etc, and very unlevel. I don't have jacks - I have to use the plastic blocks - and I used 30

We love this place, BUT the drain port for hooking up sewer line in the pull through space was a broken piece of concrete that was very unstable and leaked badly when using it in any fashion. The area stayed smelly and wet. Employees are nice. Campground is nice. If it weren’t for the faulty sewer connection would have rated a strong 5.

Thank you for your review Gerald and my staff is addressing the sewer issue now. Lori

Came down for a week to go to a Rays game and check out the surrounding areas. Stay was great and staff were friendly and helpful accept for one lady who worked on the office. She had blonde hair and a little bit of a raspy voice. We will definitely be back.

This was our first time staying in a camping cabin. Yes, we do have a fifth wheel, but we were only in Madeira Beach for one night so a camping cabin was perfect. The bath houses were just a few feet away, and the cabin was very comfortable for the night.

We love our cabin. It was clean, it has everything that we need, the customer service was EXCELLENT. The only thing that can be improved are the bed Matress. They are really uncomfortable and hard.

This was our first RV trip and our first visit to a KOA campground. The staff were all courteous, friendly and helpful. We were pleased with our experience , and if our travels bring us back to the St.Petersburg area, we will not hesitate to stay there again.

We have stayed at well over 100 KOAs during our five years of RVing full-time. Madeira is always one of our favorites. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the park is always clean.

We loved everything about this place. Tent camped at an electric/water site. Shower house was awesome. Found a shaded spot that we liked. Only negative was the sand fleas. We got eaten alive over the 4 nights. Even avoided them as much as possible in the later days/evenings.

Lack of internet was the biggest issue; Our site was very close to the next site. Too bad you seemed to be the best in town when we booked.

Pro: Staff was very friendly and personable. Site outside was clean and grill was clean. Pool was nice and refreshing. Cons: Found dirty dishes in cupboards. Some of the folded blankets and towels had hair in them. Floors could use a mopping. Dog run wasn't very clean... bark chips made it hard to spot where lazy owners didn't cleanup after their pets.

I was disappointed that you didn’t have any activities throughout the day like most KOA‘s they said it’s because in the summertime they’re not as busy but it was quite busy and I have been to other KOA‘s in the summertime and they still always had activities like bingo for kids music at night movies I think that something that should be done year-round in Florida

Sorry you were disappointed, we only have themed weekends in the summer for the kiddos. Thank you for staying with us. Lori and Team

We had fun but not much time when it was only one night. I am sure we will be back but would like to see better fishing areas off the mangroves.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us Debbie! Unfortunately the county is going to take most of the pass throughs along the mangroves away. They are highly protected. But we do have the fishing dock! Lori

Beautiful sites! We paid extra to stay on the bayou. It was well worth the extra money! We took our kayaks out for a quick evening paddle and came across some dolphins that were swimming along the shore near the campground.

My family and I went for a different kind of weekend getaway, and had a good time! Attempted cabin camping w a 2yr old and a 7yr old, better than expected. Room was accommodating and cabin was cute! Wood floors definitely needed a good cleaning. 1 min barefoot or in socks and your feet were black! Putt putt was fun, playground was enough to entertain my 2 yr old. Grounds kept clean. Friendly staff and cute gift shop!

KOA was great. Quiet, full of very useful amenities/facilities: laundry, showers, bathrooms, dog run, dock, pool, store & much, much more. All facilities were extremely clean, campground was well planned out & very well kept grounds. Thank you for allowing pets at no additional cost. We loved our stay. Recommendations for outside services & food trucks was also extremely helpful and reliable.
