Daytona Beach KOA

Daytona Beach KOA is located in Daytona Beach, FL. This park is built on what used to be an orange grove. There are a few orange trees left throughout the park and we were lucky enough to be there while the trees were blooming. The smell of orange blossoms is wonderful. Every time I walked the dogs, I had to stop and smell the blooms close up.

We were at Daytona Beach KOA at the end of the sno-bird season in 2008. This winter was really bad up north and there were several campers stopping there on their way home to give the weather a little more time to clear up.

This is a medium sized park with small campsites. The RV behind us put out their awning and it almost touched our slide-out. Even though the campsites were small, the park was well kept and the staff was extremely friendly.

There was a really nice public park within walking distance that had some great walking trails and a large pond. We went to the park several times to enjoy the shaded trails and watch the squirrels and the turtles.

We had our first experience with French Canadians at Daytona Beach KOA and they didn't leave us with the best of impressions. We've talked to many English Canadians since then and they have all told us that the French Canadians do not associate with the English any more than they have to. The English Canadians are very friendly and great to talk to but we've met very few French Canadians that will even acknowledge your presence.

The Daytona Beach KOA and the area surrounding it is very nice and we would go back to this park again.
