Florida Keys Camping, any recommendation?

If you want to drop a few bucks.. go to Blue Water Key Resort.. BUT it is worth every penny . check in the search engine above , you will see all good remarks and pictures..Joe

I too would like to know how anyone can get a site at Bahia Honda in the winter. I am on every morning before 8:00 and can't succeed. Good luck.

Bluewater key resort does not accept Truck Campers.

I really liked Geiger Key.

Hi, I am looking for a campsite in the Florida Keys for next winter season.

I tried to reserve at Bahia Honda, but people must have some trics, I can never get a spot, maybe I should wake up at night and type in some dates.

You can also try Long Key State park, Curry Hammock State Park and Geiger key campground near Key West. John Pennecamp State park is in Key Largo 60 miles north of Bahia Honda

During the tourist season, getting into any of the Keys state parks is just a matter of persistence. They are booked solid a year in advance.
All you can do is keep trying and hope to catch a cancellation. If you do, run out and buy a Lotto ticket while your luck is good. :B

Unless only Bahia Honda will do, try the other SP's as well. Our personal favorites are (1) Curry Hammock and (2) Long Key.

Now get out that rabbits foot, rub your left ear with your right hand, go find a four leaf clover, hang up a clove of garlic, put the sugar in the cup before you pour in the tea and get on the internet or phone.

The above posters are accurate.

Alos:

It is simple math:

1. Number of State Parks in the Florida Keys: 4

2. Number of RV sites available in all 4 parks added together: 221

3. Number of Tent only sites. (Can’t be used for RV’s): 30

4. Number of people from all over the country that want to camp in the Keys in the winter?

Thousands and thousands!!!

My bad gang,,, I need to start looking at the category the question is in and not just the question itself.....

Boyds is another favorite of ours..$$$ though.

The trick to get in a state park that is always full is to call. The operator can lock the camp site before you can get it on the net.

There are many great places to rv camp in the Keys. We have tried many of them and have our favorites. #1 in our book is Jolly Roger Travel Park. It is located in Marathon on the Gulf side. It has been re-worked the last couple years and now has a new pool with great lighting and landscaping. A brand new shower house for men and women. It is outstanding. There is dockage available, a pier to watch sunsets or fish from, and a swim area marked with buoys where you can snorkel and watch fish and lobsters along the sea wall. Many of the new sites are HUGE and are on the south side of the park. We wrote about it on trip advisor for more info. They accept good sam discounts and also passport america. They also have the best RV staff to assist you in whatever you need. If you are going into Key West we recommend Boyds. Although higher priced, the location is teriffic to get into Key West by bus, cab or bike. The park is very nice. The pool is clean and well kept but the showers could use updating. They are clean though. We stayed a few nights at Long Key. Great state park. Clean and comfortable and right on the water. Not much too close to do but the drive to restaurants or activities is fairly reasonable. We are in the keys every 6-7 weeks so if we can assist with any other info....just ask.
