Key West

Taking 95 thru DC at any time of day is like gambling. You will rarely win. If the 495/95 stretch doesn't get you with daytime backups and night time lane closures VDOT's brilliant plan to merge what seems like 25 lanes down to 3 at Stafford VA will.

Big Pine Fishing Lodge & campground at MM 31. No dogs allowed because the tiny Key Deer roam the grounds.

Get off 95 as soon as you can in FL by taking the toll road to avoid Miami.

We have gone back and forth between Fl and Maine several times and did 95 once and never again.

We go 81 to 77 to 26 US301 to 75 to FL turnpike.

You can also stay on 26 to 95 to Key West.

Check out the Florida State Parks campgrounds. They are the best in the state.

Search this Forum for `Key West' for all the previous posts.

We stop at Stagecoach RV park in St. Augustine on our way south. Very nice place and lots to see around St. Augustine. If you are a golfer we highly recommend the Golf Hall of Fame.

both are heavily booked in advance with snowbirds. call ahead!

From December thru Feb. the "good" ones are booked pretty solid.
Might find an overnight space or a few days but if you want to stay a week or more without jumping around you almost HAVE to book well in advance.

I made the trip from Staten Island NY to Key west 2 years ago. The most direct route is 95 just get through DC not during rush hours. As far as camprgrounds Boyds is good and you can take the bus downtown right outside the campground. If you want laid back, look at Geiger Key.
