Camping in the Keys

My husband and i just decided to drive down to the Florida Keys for a few days Jan 21-25. Do you think we will have trouble finding a campsite for a 30 foot RV on the beach ? Any recommendations? We only have 9 days and are driving from NC. Need to see the ocean!

Camping in the Keys

There ara a couple of KOA campgrounds in the keys, The one at Fiesta Key used to be pretty decent. Not sure how any of the campgrounds are since the hurricanes. They have a website. You might check with the chamber of commerce. They will send you and info packet which will list all of the campgrounds, restaurants, etc.

While I think it would be booked, the choice for me would be bahia honda state park. http://www.bahiahondapark.com/

While oceanfront sites probably don%26#39;t accomodate your RV, they have site that should work--if available.

Good luck and I know you%26#39;ll have great weather.

bahia honda is pretty well booked but you can try for a spot in the am.when you get there just in case there was a cancellation. since it%26#39;s a state park, you can look up reserveamerica.com to try to reserve a spot. long key, i believe, has reopened and has ocean sites. bahia honda campsites open onto a little bay looking to u.s. 1, not the ocean side, not that it really matters. there aren%26#39;t any real beaches ex bahia honda that i know of. it gets so crowded here around then that you really should try for reservations somewhere. most people get a site and drive to the water or into key west. don%26#39;t try to drive that rig into key west, tho, you can%26#39;t park it anywhere, and they will ticket you. there%26#39;s several nice rv parks all up the keys, but by now all oceanfront will be snagged for sure. jolly roger in marathon is nice - a regular campground, expensive, like everything else here. in consolation, the water is everywhere, you will be near the water no matter where you stay, bring bikes and sunscreen. it was pretty hot today!

This is probably too late to help you guys but maybe it will help others.

We have a 26 foot airstream and stayed at Boyd%26#39;s on Stock Island. Any RV park is going to be very expensive and the closer you get to Key West, the more you pay. Since Bohia Honda is booked years in advance, we stayed at Boyds - $95 a night and your pretty crammed in there - but - your a 20 minute bike ride to key west and its a pretty nice place with very friendly people. Also, you can pretty much always get a spot, even last minute.

We are now staying at Curry Hammock State Park near Marathon, and if you can get a ressie I would highly recc. this place. Tons of space, beautiful ,new RV park.

Good luck!
