Big Pine Key RV Resort
Reviewed Nov. 20, 2020

A bit disappointing.

I came as a drive-in camper with a tent. The facility is nice on approach. Staff is pleasant. The campsite was waterfront, facing the Overseas Highway. Noise was not so bad from the highway, which was initially my fear. There is a swimming pool which is quite nice and a lounge, also nice. Bathrooms are clean and accessible, though a bit far from where the tent campsites are. There seems to be a campfire every night. Gas. Turns on. But charming and a nice place to relax.

There are three significant issues I had.

First, it is a parking lot. Sandy parking lot. There is nothing particularly scenic or attractive about pitching a tent in a parking lot, even if it’s waterfront. Second, the water that fronted the campsite is pretty overgrown with aquatic vegetation. Also fairly unattractive and a bonanza for bugs. Third, bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Lots of bugs. Did I mention bugs? Even with a good slathering of 100% DEET, came out with dozens of bites.

Overall, would I return? No. Would I recommend the camping there? Possibly for RV’s. Not so great from a drive-in camper’s perspective.
