Looking for Key West, big rig, full hookups + campfires

[ependydad]

Knowing how far in advance things book up- I'm looking for somewhere to go for next Christmas in 2014. My requirements are:

1. As close to Key West as possible
   
2. Supports big rigs (42' fifth wheel + crew cab/long bed truck)
   
3. Has full hookups (water, electric, and sewer)
   
4. Has a pool
   
5. Has close access to swimming (beach, ocean, etc.)
   
6. Allows campfires
   
7. Roomy and not packed like sardines
   

If it wasn't for the "Allows campfires", Bluewater Key would be my ideal spot.

I'm also a Thousand Trails member, but the Sunshine Key Resort doesn't seem to get real good reviews. And apparently being a big rig can be tricky there. Plus, it's a bit further north than I wanted to be.

I'm not nor have I retired from any armed services.

Ideas?

Just go to Bluewater and have your campfire at your stopover locations. No way would I give up BWK for a no-campfire rule.

Bahia Honda state park does not have fire pits. I guess you could have a fire in the raised waist height grills.

ependydad, If they don't allow a wood fire, you could always take one of these. We have one and have used it during a drought time when campground wouldn't allow campfires. Not the same as a wood fire but still nice to sit around. Tim

Thanks, Tim. They're only missing the campfire thing. I need to find out from my father-in-law how hard of a requirement it is.

If I have to, I will. I'll likely give up the no campfire and just stay at Bluewater.

Just hoping that there are alternatives.

Knights Key is out- no campfires.

From a phone call, so is Jolly Roger - "no wood burning".

The Sugarloaf KOA sells firewood, so it seems like they should allow them.
