We are at Cedar Key for a week now. As signs around town say, it is "a quiet drinking village with a clam farming problem" ....
Seriously, though, it is a great place if you like kayaking or canoeing - for poking around the mangrove keys or sport fishing. As noted above, there is a nice little tourist area with waterfront restaurants and some interesting arts/craft galleries. The local clams are really good - almost as good as the northeast varieties, and they prepare them many different ways. Lots of stone crabs and blue claws in their respective seasons, too. Some interesting history displayed in a few museums and walking trails. There are some very good boat launching areas. There is a man made beach in the city park, but it isn't exactly a swimming beach. Unlike Key West 30 years ago, they pretty much roll up the sidewalks by 9:00.
Other than that, it is relaxing, but probably a little hot in the summer, and not too warm in the winter. Spring and fall are no doubt the best times to visit weather-wise. There are two main places to stay in an RV - both right up the street from each other. The Sunset Isle RV Park has water view and regular sandy sites - plenty with full hook ups, and many suitable for big rigs. There is a cafรฉ with excellent breakfasts, and barbeque lunches, but it closes at 3:00PM. Restrooms and showers are dated, but clean. Right down the street is the Low-Key Resort that has 3 RV sites with full hookups - large and water views. Very nice, and funky. They have a Tiki Bar which is great for sunsets, and open from 4:00 to 9:00 (except Wednesdays).
We are pretty laid back, and spend some time working via internet, so it suits use fine as we work our way back north from January - February further south.
