    This was a tough one.. on one hand we were disappointed with the amenities and on the other we loved the nearby walking trails. The camp itself feels run down and out dated. The campers and the owner were all super nice and friendly. The advertised boating and kayaking is not a thing as the boats on site are flooded. The camp grounds were lush with giant greenery and plenty of bugs. The best part was the nearby boardwalks( def an am adventure as to avoid the bugs). Another bummer was the lack on an individual fire ring and insufficient electrical connection. There were also cameras on site which added to the horror movie vibe. Haha. If you do stay here get here early and bring your bug spray for sure.

    Cool little spot we found driving by. Really nice people, rented a canoe and paddled out to the lake. Caught a nice bass on top of it.

    Is the bar still open?

    We closed the bar in 2000, over twenty-four years ago, when FDOT 4 laned SR20. We no longer rent boats, but we still have camping here. Kate's Fish Camp is now private and only available by reservation for RVs and travel trailers. We still have many… Read more

    There is nothing else like this campground! It is a fun and interesting destination trip. Animals…read moreabound; chickens, goats, sheep, Keets, pig, dogs, ducks and cats have the run of the place. Hear a rustle in the woods, it's probably Ginger the Kunekune making her rounds. There are two donkeys and a cow as well. The staff is flat out amazing, from Brian who often checks on me, to the family that runs the place. Spacious sites in a bucolic setting and the bonus is an Esther Williams delightful spring two miles away at the State Park.

    I am giving these folks 5 stars - but one of my buddies camping with me would score them much…read morelower. So, I guess it depends what you are looking for in a campground. Check in was easy, our campsite was clear, no bugs or refuse, and it was as easy walk back to he office with the showers and other general store type items. There was wooded space between the campsites - providing a sense of privacy. My only complaint would be those of nature... early in the morning some crows were very interested in what feels like our specific campsite and flying around the trees above it and cawing back and forth with each other. On the other hand, my buddy -who was an Eagle Scout in his youth- was not impressed. We had a primitive style campsite. No electric or water hook up where we were. There was a port-o-potty nearby- but if it didn't meet your standard you had to walk about two blocks to the general store. The showers felt more like hostel showers then camp showers. My take away was that his past camping experiences have been a lot more pampered than I am use to when I camp. I could easily camp here again in the future.

    We were able to get a camp spot here at the KOA in Stark because everything else was filled up…read more This campground is very clean as most KOA's are. As you can tell by the pictures, their camp store has little to nothing to offer. I usually buy a T-shirt and was told that their headquarters won't allow them to carry much in the way of supplies. They do have wood out front, but you're only allowed to have a fire only in specific places. Their rules are extremely strict. If you wanna swim in the swimming pool, you have to wear swimming attire. You can't wear cut off shorts or a T-shirt that's forbidden. Some people don't want to wear revealing bathing suits because of their body. And also in their rules, if you have a dog or a couple of dogs and you go places, you're supposed to take your dogs with you because they don't want anyone to hear your dogs barking. And you're also not allowed to put up any dog baby cages and you have to keep your dogs on a 6 foot leash. And I agree with the dogs being on the leash, but there are people who live here that allow their dogs to walk without a leash I guess because they're obedient dogs but a leash law is a leash law for everyone. And with having to keep your dog on a leash instead of in a dog baby fenced off area right in your spot makes it so that you're not really able to relax because you have to hold your dog and if your dog is happy to see other people.... you know what I'm getting at. There were quite a few open spaces, but this is the middle of the week so there's bound to be a lot of space is open. The people at the gift shop were very nice and friendly. The regulars who live here year-round don't seem to be very friendly. All in All I do recommend any KOA campground because they're clean. They're safe and have more pull through than most places. The roads are well maintained. It's a nice place to stay just very strict.
