Hi Roy,
Low Key Hideaway is a great place to stay at but they only have 5 spots. They are on the back bayou and really nice folks. There is also Sunset Isle RV park nearby. And 7 miles outside of town is anew park called Cedar Key RV Resort which has large concrete spots, pullthrus and a pool.
Cedar Key is a nature lover's paradise with boating, fishing, kayaking to all the little islands. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The 3rd weekend in Oct there is the Seafood Festival. Lots of fun. Make sure you visit Kona Joe's Island Cafe, best food in town.
Have fun,

Thanks for all the help everyone... Is there a nice RV resort near the shopping area so we can walk to it from the camp grounds but still be near the water? Or a easy way to get to town?..We won't have a toad yet... Thanks Roy

I flew in the multiple times, not recent, short strip.
There was a private cab service, reasonable. Don't know her phone # now, she used to monitor our arrival frequency.
Just looked it up on the aviation side, she is still active but can't find a phone #. My wife and I enjoyed our day visits.

Roy,
There are no RV parks close to shopping. Cedar Key is a very small town, you can ride your bike all over from the campground, either Sunset Isle or Low Key. Sunset Isle has golf carts for rent also. Everybody is friendly and helpful and you can get a ride to downtown, it's only a few blocks.

The atmosphere of the area is laid back. If you need lots of activities then Cedar Key is not for you. We have been told that Cedar Key now is what Key West was 100 years ago.

Laid back is what we need. We don't need all the hoop la. A few cold beers some good sea food a little shopping for the DW and we are good to go. I am going to check out the Sunset Isle campground too. Thanks Roy :)

Another place we like in that area is Manatee Springs State Park. The regs state that it is limited to 35 ft RV's, but we had no issues with our 36 ft. Not on the Gulf but it is a nice quiet park with kayaking/canoeing opportunity along spring outlet and Suwannee River as well boardwalks. Loops were a little tight but if you take it slow, no issues.

We like Yellow Jacket RV Resort, Old Town, FL, between Old Town and Cedar Key. Pretty long drive to shopping from Cedar Key. It's a fishing village way in the "boonies" in my opinion, quiet and laid back, although worth a day trip. Read all the reviews on www.rvparkreviews.com

We stayed at Low Key Hideaway RV Resort & Motel 2 years ago in our 36' Motorhome with 2 Slides. We had a reservation for a week, but when we pulled in they were concerned we wouldn't fit. They even tried to get us another site with a campground up the road, but they didn't have any on the water. Finally we were able to get in one of their sites. They only have about 5 or 6. It's on the water but no beach. The sunsets were spectacular. A few nice places to eat in town. We enjoyed it, but then we enjoy everything.

There are two CG's off the island that are fairly large(Rainbow Country RV, Cedar Key RV Resort). There is one small CG on the island (Sunset Isle RV/Motel). I have not stayed at any of them.
