We love staying there on base at the RV park but want to go on down and see more of Florida.
Are you military/ retired military? Or staying as his guest at the RV park?
If you are military - Naval Air Station Key West has a campground at Sigsbee - a housing area just off Roosevelt Ave in Key West.
They have 90 FHU sites. During the winter, the place is very busy and they have close to 400 dry campsites in use. They do not reserve the FHU sites except for incoming PCS personnel station in Key West.
During the winter there is a strict rotation system - 14 days in FHU, and then move to a dry camping site and go on the waiting list until the next FHU site opens up. We spent a week in dry camping earlier this month and it was great.
If you are eligible, give them a call and talk about their average usage in the months you plan to visit.
As far as the pictures of the sites.
Very few sites in the Keys are going to have much shade. Most of the trees will be palms, and a few others. Just not much shade.
Also concrete is very expensive to get down far into the keys - so most sites are going to be level sand/ grass.
