Since I noticed your logo at the bottom of the page I assume you are retired Navy. Key West NAS has an RV Park on the water. We took our TC down there about 4 years ago and stayed for a week. Not the most spacious RV park but some spots on the water and full hooks in Key West for $14 per night (might have gone up a little by now). Active duty have priority and after that everyone else who has DoD rights is first come/first serve (ie. retire). It was ran fairly well and we were treated great. No issues at all.
Keep in mind a lot of retirees go down there in the winter and stay a long time but the rules state you cannot stay more than 14 days at a time unless there is space. Odds are quite a few will have been down there for more than a month already and they will have to make space for you. Don't feel bad about; DoD campgrounds are not for folks to stay at for 6 months at time but rather for all to enjoy.
One last thing: Go Army, beat Navy.
