Long Key State Park max size changes

[NHIrish]

So I was recently checking my reservation at Long Key and saw that the max vehicle size for my site was 30'. Oops...did I make a big mistake? My 35' isn't even close!

Turns out that I did not. They have changed their max vehicle lengths for at least some of their sites. The largest rv now accepted for reservations is 32'. But don't panic...they are honoring all existing reservations if you were within the site specifications at the time of your reservation.

Seems like this will be my last year to get into Long Key...glad I got the reservation!

The FSP system has some of the best locations in the nation and could do so much more with them if it wasn't for some silly policies they have.

I, too, have found FL state park length restrictions rather conservative. I usually fudge (lie) when making a reservation. It's only come back on me once when I couldn't turn into a site because of a tree at its front corner. I had to come into the site from the opposite direction with the host's assistance. No one at an office has ever challenged me on length.

No problem for you next year. If you fit this year in the site.
Next year reservations. You now have a 30' MH. 🙂

When you arrive next year. I bet no one will get a tape measure out to check your length before they let you in.

I wouldn't worry. I generally take off a few feet from my length when reserving at State parks and add a few feet to my length when reserving at private parks. I've found that state parks are pretty conservative in their length restrictions and private parks will at times try to put 10# in a 5# bag.

This hasn't bit me yet! If it ever does bite me, I plan to take it in stride realizing that it's my own fault.
