Need a fill in night on the Keys, suggestions please

[riven1950]

We are at John Pennekamp now for several days and then go to Bahia Honda for a couple of days. We have one open night in between that we need to fill ( unless we get lucky with a cancellation ). Can anyone suggest a CG in the area from Key Largo to say Big Pine key that might : 1- have and opening 2- nice place 3- not cost me a arm and a leg ? Don't want to go much past BH.
Thanks,
PS: 19' TT, 2 adults

I did fish some. caught a bunch of grunts I think they are called and some other fish which I think were snapper of some kind.all kind of pan size. also caught larger fish,maybe 1 1/2 lb, looked online but could not figure what it was,beautiful blue color with large scales like a carp and teeth like a sheepshead. no luck with lures / jigs. everything caught on shrimp or squid.did not try a charter, all caught inside the park from shore.

You could try Calusa campground, across the street from K Mart/Publix on Key Largo or Key Largo Kampground behind K Mart

Jolly Roger (on Grassy Key just above Marathon.) Rates vary, might be about $80 but if you have Passport America membership, half price which makes it about $40. They are pretty full (we're there now).

We filled in a night last year at Jolly Roger and returned this year for a week. They keep improving it - new bathroom reno ths year. New pool last year. Dock out on the water is great for sunset viewing. Staff has always been friendly.

By the way, we stayed at Big Pine Key fishing lodge for a couple of nights last year. Could only get dry camping, and no generators permitted. No pets. Also about $40 so that could work if those issues don't matter.
