Stay in Key West or Outside area RV. Park.

We will be in the Keys next week, staying at Jolly Roger in Marathon. We are going to Key West, park our truck, and ride our bikes around for a few hours. Wanted to go on a cruise but since I need to remain "close" since my parents are elderly and somewhat homebound, I want to be available so I can get back to Georgia within a day. Going to snorkel and relax!!!

We found Boyd's pricey....$95 a night for the tent back in 05, and we did't even get a table.

I can't help you for March, but we have a place in the Keys and am pretty familiar with it. Key West is definitely a really fun place but I wouldn't stay further up than the 7 Mile Bridge in Marathon if you plan to travel to KW very often. It's no fun coming home at night and having to drive through the Key Deer area (slower speeds) in Big Pine and then crossing the 7 Mild Bridge. Too many fatalities on that bridge.

If you can snag a coveted reservation at a state park, Bahia Honda is the closest to KW. They are booked the minute they are available for booking, which is 11 months out. If you try 11 months and one minute, all the sites will be gone.

Our Rv lot is on Cudjoe Key (mile marker 23) so it's very close to Key West. We go there often and always have a blast.

We rent our lot out when we aren't there, so check it out it you might be interested in December and January. Our fees INCLUDE the Florida 12.5% bed tax, most others don't.

Florida Keys Rv lot for rent

Thank you all for the replies so far.

Boyds is actually on Stock Island. Its an OK place nothing fancy. We enjoyed staying there. We brought our scooters to get around Key West. A little pricey though. Good place to stay if you like the Key West atmosphere.

I see that Blue Water Key prices range from $77-$133 a night (cash/check), more for CC.

So, Blue Water Key looks like it would be a nice splurge to check out the area. The prime locations sure do seem to charge the max.

I'll be there on January 18th for four weeks. Maybe you can book in that time period. It would be great to see you there.

You know, that just might work, I'll head west for 3 or 4 months, probably leaving the mid-south before Christmas.

On Edit: Holstein13, I'm sorry, I misread your post, you are going to Florida, I'm going to California.

In comparison, recently (August), I tried to book in Newport Beach, CA, at the Newport Dunes RV Resort and they wanted over $300 a night (in season). I was so turned off by the gouging that I said no, kept the motorhome in storage and we stayed at the Pelican Hill Resort Hotel, which we always wanted to try anyway. And, we had a good experience.

The Marathon area has a few campgrounds you should check out. Jolly Roger at about mile marker 59 1/2, there is also Grassy Key Resort, the Marathon Boatyard has a separate RV park a littl pricey but very nice .
Knight Key at the foot of the 7 mile bridge is due for redevelopment soon but may still be taking reservations ( no sewer hookups)
and right on the other side of the 7 mile bridge you have Sunshine Key RV.
Hope this helps.
