Bahia Honda State Park Reservation Tips??

We are wanting to travel to Key West and are looking strongly at this location. Apparently it is a highly desired park and reservations on the water are hard to get. We are looking at the end of May into June of next year and our dates are very flexible.

So what are the tricks to getting a waterfront spot?

    This is how I started checking today. I adjusted my dates back and forth with no luck. If I check again tomorrow will I be able to reserve a certain amount of days or just the one day.

    Keep trying every day to grab a cancelation.

    Please don’t blame us Floridians. We are in the same boat as the rest of the country when it comes to getting a site.

    It is simple math:

    1. Number of State Parks in the Florida Keys: 4
    2. Number of RV sites available in all 4 parks added together: 186
    3. Number of Tent only sites. (can’t be used for RV’s): 30
    4. Number of people from all over the country that want to camp in the Keys? Lots and a Lots and Lots!!
  • It's probably the most popular park in the state. Follow the advice above and you'll have some chance. All the sites are close to the water so I would not let that concern me. But the new RV area isn't all that beautiful, but being near the water is the most important thing. In June you should be able to get a spot at one of the commercial CG in the keys for only an arm. You have to throw in a leg during the winter season.
