Key West Florida

[appd221]

Looking to go to Key West FL and stay a week. I have two girls 5, and 2. We are looking for a fun family oriented place with full Class A 50 amp hook up. Playground and swimming pool. Possibly a hot tub spa. Restaurants near by. Any suggestions would be great. I have checked the web and am overwhelmed by the choices. I was able to get a week off from work second week in November.

A little late, but az99 is right. No kids in the RV section at IBE. Grandkids are allowed for two weeks (usually at holiday times) in the Co-op section.

Thank you to all for your suggestions and assistance with our FL planning trip. After speaking with several members in private messages and through th forums we are not goin to take our first FL trip to the Keys. Ive found the Okeechobee KOA on line and will be going there. The reviews through Google are great and the photos show many things to entertain the kids. Again just wanted to thank everyone for your help. We are going down on the 11th so wish us luck. WR

At IBE, grandkids are welcome for two weeks for co-op owners. And, there is a family with kids in The Village (a 3rd part of IBE). You can check with the office about RV with kids. I'll post when I know -- probably Monday when the office re-opens.

Might try Bahia Honda.



Real nice but no sewer hook-up, dump station.

Isn't IBE an over 55 adult park?

St. Lucie West is surrounded by some of the worst traffic on the east coast. Why not try the west coast? I would suggest Imperial Bonita Estates which has a plethora of activities, is surrounded by excellent attractions (investigate Lee County), and is five miles from the beach.

If you're there on a Sunday, join us at the corner of Pauline and Dee Sts. for some Bean Bag Baseball.

Good luck finding parking around Key West. This was the biggest disappointment of our entire 7500 mile trip this year. I see it as a place for those in their 20's and 30's.

Or those who are comfortable with the life in downtown San Francisco.....:B

You might want to look at staying in the middle of the keys. Marathon Key is about half way. That way you can do day trips easier. It is a long way from one end of the keys to the other.

How about gamble Rogers st camp ground on the beach.

OK Well after reading your replies, I just may keep key west as a day trip rather than a stay. Another place we checked out on the web was St. Lucie West Motorcoach Resort? Any member here stay there. Much further north but looks good, and the reviews on line were not bad at all. Again, just mega searching here thanks..

Fantasyfest was held on the week of October 18th. If you find body painting offensive, then it will not be a time to bring your children.

We have stayd at Big Pine fishing logge on mile marker 33 on several ocassions and had a wonderful time. bring plenty of bug repellent, the noseeum bugs can be nuisances.

Walking the nature's trail and lounging at the pool was very relaxing.

when getting ready to leave, use the entrance road to exit. it is much less stressful than the last turn on the exit side.

This is just my opinion, but there are better places to visit than Key West for children as young as yours.

X2, it is not really a place for children particularly after dark. Stay somewhere else and do a day trip, that is all you will need there.

Key West is fine even for the children if you stay to the main streets and just enjoy the atmosphere and sunsets. I stayed at Sugerloaf Key KOA which is about as close as you can get and have the things you want for the kids. No real beach but nice anyway.
