Fort Myers / Pine Island KOA Holiday

Donald Mosley

If you are looking to get away from it all then this is the place for you. There are a couple of local restaurants and 2 grocery stores within 10 minutes but going on and off the island can be a pain and 30 minutes on a good day, an hour on a bad day. They have activities planned as well as tennis/pickle ball court, basketball court, 2 clubhouses with a pool table, fitness area and ping pong table in one. The front clubhouse has the large pool and it is with the office and general store as well. The general store has various items you may need and even sells cold beer. There are multiple places on the island to drop your kayaks in and lots of hiking, but bring that bug spray! The island is a swamp so there are bugs in the park and sometimes the no-see-ums can feel like they are carrying you away. They have 3 shower houses, front, middle, back. The front is closed at night because it is connected to the pool. They have a nice laundry that takes cards and has an app to pay for convenience. All in all this was a nice quiet get away but the drive to town can get to you! We stayed here from December to April. It was tough to convey over the phone what we needed so we waited until we got there and explained. Apparently there is a crazy sorting system that doesn’t allow for moving sites around causing the disconnect over the phone. Once we were there they were able to accommodate us staying longer, and at the same site. I would like to dispel a couple of comments I read on here! The staff is friendly and accommodating with a couple who tend to be rough around the edges, that being said I’ve personally witnessed some campers that are very rude to them so I would imagine it’s difficult sometimes. (I literally watched a camper have a worker remove dog poop from his site, they even handed him a shovel, good grief). There are bugs, it’s on the back bay, wear bug spray. They don’t require you to purchase gas, wood or any such items from them. We saw people coming in at all hours of the night and even had people parking at the entrance on the lawn waiting for the morning, they will not be greeting you after hours. They are welcoming to all the dogs, even the ones that aren’t RV park ready and bark all day. A worker asking you a question doesn’t mean they are attacking you. Just remember, treat others like you want to be treated and don’t assume a question is an attack.

There are only a few tent camping sites with very little shade. This is mainly an over 50 RV park. A lot of the people are residents. Some just stay for the winter season. It is beautiful and everyone is very kind and friendly. Bike friendly also. Great place for families with kids. Everyone looking out for everyone.

Very nice campground. Well maintained. Sites are tight and close. Nice facilities and pool. Many miles of paved biking trails near the road, and a few hiking trails around the island. Traffic in and out of the island through Matlacha is very busy and delayed in high season. There are several bars and restaurants around the island

Great KOA. Very helpful staff. Our site had an electrical issue when we arrived. We called the office and, even thought things were very busy with arrivals, a staff member came by in about three minutes and fixed it. He returned a while later to check and make sure everything was good. Very nice pool. Several bars and restaurants not too far away on the bike/walking path which runs the length of the island. A fantastic produce farm and market several miles to the north. We’ll be back!
