Florida Keys in Winter
In 2017 we are planning to go to the Keys for the winter. My question is what parks have you stayed at and how far in advance do you need to book your reservations? I was looking at Boyds and Blue wat...

Boyd's is on Stock Island and a bicycle ride to Duval St and all the happenings. It is pretty crowded and if you are 40 ft or more, it's a tight squeeze. Blue Water is by far the best. It's at about mile marker 14, so it's a 20 minute drive into Key West. Sites have tiki huts and enough vegetation to provide privacy. Sugar Loaf is about on a par with Boyd's, pretty packed in, they do have an onsite bar, it's about mile marker 20, so about 30 minutes to key west or about 30 minutes to Marathon. Other places to consider- El Mar on Stock Island, down the street from Boyd's - only a handful of sites so not packed...Geiger Key Marina/RV. Again maybe a dozen or so sites, at about MM11. If you don't have dogs, Big Pine Key Fishing Lodge is a great place. (no dogs because of the key deer that roam the property). Knights Key is pretty good place. Only downside is they don't have sewer, but they do have a honey wagon that comes by to pump you out. As soon as you figure out when you want to go and where, get your reservations ASAP !
