Bahia Honda State Park, FL and Verizon jet pack

Trying to get a site for a couple of weeks next winter. I have the opportunity to work on the road. My employer will provide Verizon jet pack. Does anyone have experience using one in the keys? Any suggestions or advice? Thanks!
  • Stayed at Bahia Honda early fall last year. Verizon coverage was available throughout the keys. Service at Bahia Honda was just fine. Never used a Verizon Jet Pack, but I believe it just a hotspot device using their 4G service. You should have no problems.
  • We are at Key Largo and use our Verizon Jet pack perfectly.

    For many years we did two week stays a Bahia Honda during the winter months and it worked for us there also, but since buying our lot in Key largo we haven't been there in five years. I assume it would still work there.

    You won't have issues with the Jetpack at Bahia Honda..... now getting a reservation for a site there will be an issue !
  • Yeah Bahia Honda is probably the one most difficult Florida park to get into. But none of the State Parks in the Keys is easy to get a reservation for. Last time we stayed at Bahai Honda we just stopped when driving by on the spur of the moment and they had a cancellation. There are plenty of parks on Marathon, we like Pirates Cove there and it's moderately prices in the off season for the Keys that is.

    Yep better chance of hitting the lottery - better have a back up plan
  • We used it and had service everywhere we were including out in the forest in AL 14 miles from the nearest small town, 40 miles from any sizeable town. Cell phones did not work, but the jetpack always did. We have been a few places that was the case. Data service has it's own coverage map if you go to Verizons map and select that to check your locations.
  • I am so glad to hear all of your positive feed back about the Verizon service.
    I agree about the chance of getting a reservation! All I can do is try.
