Great spot if you are driving down to Key West or want to enjoy the area while camping on the beach. Good area to snorkel as well

On the beach!

If you're looking for a view of the ocean this is the perfect place. The sites are literally on the beach. It's a great place to kayak or just lounge in the shallows.

My favorite sites

A nice little island which is all yours. We spent a week and enjoyed it. Watch for sand flees. They are bad and all over. The bathrooms are clean with warm water. Beaches aren’t really swim able. Mudy and not sandy.

it’s all yours

Long Key campground is positioned right next to US 1 so you can hear traffic throughout the night. This campground offers waterfront campsites that you can paddle from. The views are amazing. This campground was damaged by Irma and hasn’t been open for the  last couple years. 

My Favorite Keys Campground

I love this place, it may be the best camping experience I ever had.  I loved unzipping my tent and being 15 feet away from the water.  It is difficult to get a site here, they go fast.  But I have had luck just showing up and getting in because someone else cancelled.

This place is heaven

Currently 4 sites open (tent only). Very quite.

Nice sites in front of the ocean

Beautiful little spot with only 4 sites, all of which are strangely side by side in this massive park and require a 100 yard walk across a boardwalk to get to from your car.  Setting up our tent we were attacked by noseeums, tiny little gnats whose bites turn into blisters for some (my daughter). The bugs went away when the wind picked up. We enjoyed being by the water, basically alone, watching the moon rise reflecting over the water.  We planned out our next day to make a trip to key west and return for our second night.  While preparing for bed, I found the washrooms didn’t have lights, not a huge issue. My wife saw a rat stealing some food wrappings, so be sure to clean up quickly.  Read other reviews of them getting into cars and chewing stuff up.  Come bed time, the noseeums were back with a vengeance, and they feasted on us. I bathed in deet bug spray to no avail. We were up basically all night itching and scratching and trying to covers ourselves in our sleeping bags. Woke up to find the only other camper had left, likely fed up with the bugs as well. We packed up and left early as well.  We went in early May, will never go back, but man that place would be nice without those bugs

Beautiful spot - eaten alive by bugs, beware of rats

Es tranquilo pero no se puede hacer mucho. No se puede acampar allí desde hace años por "reparaciones" y en la Web dice que esta cerrado desde el 2018 hasta el 2050? No entiendo eso, es de risa. Hay baños, la entrada son 5 dólares por vehículo,  puedes acampar durante el día y hace barbecue. Hay cestos de basura.
