Happy , campers! This week’s campground takes us to a spot in the Sunshine State, where flip-flops are basically required footwear and every day ends with a beautiful sunset.

This KOA has all the comforts you want for a camping getaway, from a 24/7 laundry facility to hot showers to Wi-Fi. When it comes to recreation, the real star of the show is this KOA's creek access. Bring your fishing gear to see what you can catch or rent a kayak and float down the creek all the way to the Gulf! Other great amenities include a pool and hot tub open 24 hours a day, plenty of games like horseshoe and shuffleboard and a KampK9 for your four-legged friends.

Outside of camp, you're perfectly positioned for beach days and Gulf Coast exploration. Spend your time taking in shoreline views, browsing local shops and restaurants, or planning a day out on the water - then come back to camp for an easy evening under the palms!

The question is - what KOA is this? Comment your best guess below!

No need to argue about who should back in the motorhome! 😉 Want to explore the city without worrying about parking? The city’s well-connected Metro has a station just 15 minutes from the campground. Hop on and see everything the beautiful city of MTL has to offer! The campground also provides a meticulously maintained pool, mini golf, and pickleball court to relax and unwind at. Whether this KOA is a quick stopover stay or your final camping destination, you’ll love the friendly staff, abundance of campsites, and quiet setting this campground has to offer.
