Fort Pierce / Port St. Lucie KOA

People were very nice but not your typical koa no pool located in the center of town hard to get in and out of souraunded by a bad neiborhood only 30 somthing sites no camp store need a code to get into bathroom and shower tells me somthing about the crime in the
game room

This park is very basic and it’s not in the best of neighborhoods. I checked in at about 3:30 and the office was closed and it had hours on the door that stated they closed at 5:00 pm. I then went to the bathroom and the doors were locked but the laundry room was open. I immediately knew that crime was likely a problem if the bathrooms were locked. I attempted to contact the manager by the number that was posted and had to call several times. She finally answered the phone and stated I needed a key to get into the bathroom but I did not get one because I had a large rig. What? Large rig means people don’t need a bathroom? I told her we had four people and a second bathroom was necessary. She told me to knock on the door at site 1 and she could get me one. Phone call ended. I went to site 1 and asked her for the key and she told me it was a $ 5 deposit. I told her I had no cash. She huffed and gave me the key and told me not to lose it. I only give this park 3 stars because they have absolutely nothing here. No pool, no game room, and they’re 2 miles from the beach. The sites are fairly level and the staff is «okay». No problems with the power box or cable and it is fairly quiet. I did notice on the website that they posted information about the train noise (which isn’t as bad as they make it seem) and yet failed to leave off that a key is required for the bathroom and does pose problems for tent campers or campers who may not have a functional bathroom. The trash is not picked up daily and the bathrooms are not cleaned because the same bottle of shampoo had been sitting on the sink the entire stay. Lot rent here for the month is $ 550 and it shows with some of the rigs. I also don’t know where people stayed in a cabin here because this property has NO cabins that I am able to see.

This KOA is conveniently located to downtown Ft. Pierce. There is a lot to see and do in the area. We arrived Friday night and set up our camper. Everyone is friendly and the sites all have new brick patios and new palm trees. The bathrooms were clean and air conditioned. We went to downtown Ft. Pierce that night and they were having a party — a craft show and bands and cold beer — it was great!
The next day we rode by bicycle to downtown, about a mile or less. You can ride on the sidewalk to avoid the busy traffic. They were having the farmer’s market down by the marina and it was a lot of fun. We had oysters and shrimp at the world-​famous Tiki Bar. In the afternoon, we drove to Hutchinson Island, which is nearby and found lots of nice beachs and waterfront restaurants. We found a «hidden» park called Marina Pointe (as I recall) which allowed dogs. Hutchinson South park also allows dogs we are told.
This is a KOA «Journey» Park, which means it is neat, tidy, and well-​maintained, but it is not a destination in and of itself (like a KOA «resort» park). So there are no water slides or swimming pools.
We wanted a place to stop for a couple of nights on the way to the Keys, to see Ft. Pierce again (we came 10 years ago, by boat!) and had a lot of fun. The Ft. Pierce KOA fit the bill.

Absolutely awesome! We stayed four nights in the deluxe cabin and we totally loved it! Very comfortable, nice bathroom and kitchen, deck with grill and table. We would recommend and will stay here again if we’re in the area. US hwy 1 runs right outside and there are train tracks nearby, but the noise didn’t bother us. Lots of waterfront restaurants nearby. Several beaches, mysteries, aquariums available (they also provide a free shuttle). Grocery store within walking distance. Dishwasher, washer and dryer inside cabin. Donna and Barry are super nice :-)
