Jolly Roger Travel park in Marathon Florida

Earlier I had asked about RV parks near Key West and several people recommended the Jolly Roger park. We have reservations coming up there and need some advice. If you have been there, any info on the surrounding area would be greatly appreciated. From looking at Google maps, it looks like there isn't a place to fill up (diesel) within a couple of hundred miles. I'm hoping that is wrong! Also, any close grocery stores?
And also, anything local that is a "must see or do" for people who have never been to the Keys?
Thank you so much!!

I guess I should have said, we usually fill up at truck stops because we have a 38 ft class A and can't fit into every type of station :)

    It's a nice park, we stayed there a couple of times. There are lots of Diesel stations in the area as well as a Walmart and other supermarkets--Publix and Winn Dixie. You can think of the upper keys as one very long strip mall.

    If the weather cooperates you should go out one snorkeling trip on any of the dive boats operating down there. Otherwise it's mainly the beaches. At least one day trip to Key West is called for. Watching the sunset off the dock at Key West is a major local event.
