My daughter ( does not camp ) swears the are rigged She was trying to get cabins in Bahia Honda for next Christmas / New Years to match our camping reservations which may explain her frustration.
Please explain to your daughter:
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: 221
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 in the winter, on any given day?
Thousands and thousands from all over the country.
The problem is even worse with the cabins. There are only 6 cabins at BH. They are about 1/2 the price, per night, of hotels in the area. She is competing for one of six, during high season, when there are literally thousands of other people trying for a spot.
