Renowned for being the country’s first undersea park, John Pennekamp camping encompasses an impressive 70 nautical square miles. While many visitors view the park’s colorful coral reefs and teeming marine life on a glass-bottom boat tour, one can get a closer look by scuba diving or snorkeling. Canoeing and kayaking through the park's waters are popular activities; fishing is permitted in designated areas. Visitors can also enjoy walking on short trails through tropical hammocks, picnicking or swimming at the beach. The visitor center features several large saltwater aquariums filled with sea creatures, and nature videos are shown in its theater. Full-facility and youth/group campsites are available.

Very clean campground. Excellent communication from the office. Very nice pool and beach ⛱️

Not the best not the worst. Totally does the job and has all the amenities. Just not our vibe. Sites were all on grass and after a couple of weeks camping just the south I sure appreciate some gravel or sand. All the things live in grass. Pool.. looked nice but it was locked. Another one where the offices closes at 5.. most seem to be open until 7-8pm my favorite was key west open til 10pm! Just nice to have someone to communicate with - were low maintenance - or some signage describing how to utilize things if the office is closed. Bathrooms clean & with AC, nice park, courts to play sports but not sure if any equipment available. Clubhouse was unlocked we played pool while we waited for an Uber to the baseball game.

Sites are close together but all have full hookups. No shade. Has a pool and nice shower facilities. Lots of activities like kareoke and sometimes live music. Beach area was nasty with seaweed. Dogs allowed (2 max). Dog walk (not fenced) was dried up retention pond. Dog beach was small sandy area. It was nice if tide was up. Free kayaks you can check out to use on site which was nice. Good spot for home base while going to other places to fish and kayak. We were there in off season (June) and traffic was nuts along US1. Just fyi. Wifi is decent but you have to pay if you want to stream. It is one of the lower prices RV parks in the area and it was sufficient.
Ranger
Full hookups, beaches, marina, hiking paths, small park and lots of relaxing in the sun. Down the road has grocery stores, small shops and great restaurants.

This is our second time staying at this campground. Staff is friendly. Place is clean. Has two beaches which is a lot. The keys aren’t known for sandy beaches but key largo kampground has two small sandy beaches that make u feel secluded from the world.
Guide
This is a very nice campground which is part of the Miami-Dade County park system. It is close to the Encore Everglades park (about 4 miles) so we stayed here after we departed. The campground is divided into pods and each pod has about 15 or so sites. We were in pod 4 site 20 (420 lol). We booked this camp with the intent to stay for a month or longer as my husband had an opportunity to Captain boats in Miami.
The park was very quiet. Most of the campers were retirees, a few families with kids, but we were there in early January. The grounds are nicely maintained with lots of places to walk and open space with trees. They don't allow dogs off-leash and although it is adjacent to the rest of the Larry & Penny park, dogs are not even allowed in the main park, at all. We did however find a few dog parks within four miles or so which were nice.
They have a very nice pool which was open daily Wed- Sunday 11am - 5pm. It was raining and rather dreary during our stay so we didn't use the pool. They have a nice Clubhouse and it looked okay with tables, chairs, books, puzzles, but again very quiet. Not many activities except for a few and we didn't stay long enough to participate. After a week, we decided to make moves back home to Lake Tahoe. It was unseasonably cold, raining so no boat work and not an ideal spot for the dogs. They don't have WiFi and since we were planning a longer stay, purchased the Starlink system since I work remote during the winter. Starlink worked great, but costs $500+ to get started and then $120 or so a month. If you are looking for an affordable long term/monthly stay, it is great. The rates were $850 a month for full hook-ups. They had last minute space available, too.
If you are in the area, check out the Miami Zoo. We were there when they had the "Zoo Lights" a super fun evening event. They have other events at the Zoo and lots to do nearby. You are closer to town than Everglades Encore, but still close to the agricultural area. I recommend but not as fun or as many activities as some other places.
GuideWe stayed thirteen nights at this park. We really enjoyed the stay and recommend. The campsites are mostly nice. There are a lot of seasonal campers and it seems those sites are nicer. The sites closer to the cabin area are closer together. I wouldn't recommend this campsite for actual campsite, but rather the excellent location and fun activities and amenities of the park.
The park has lots to do and while dated, it is kept in good shape. The pool is lovely with lounge chairs, palm trees and a tropical feel. They have a hot tub, too. Everything clean and had a resort-feel. There are an abundance of activities: pickle ball, shuffleboard, a nice mini-golf course, walking trail, clubhouse, fire pits and large open grassy space.
We have two active dogs and they have a huge field where we were able to run our dogs off-leash and chase the frisbee. I am not sure if it is allowed, but there were others as well so seemed okay. This was a real benefit when camping with pets that like to run.
The park is in a beautiful, agricultural area in the town of Redlands. It is very tropical with farms, nurseries and lots of tropical fruit stands and interesting parks. It feels rural but it is close enough to town to go to the Miami beaches or other activities. If you go, check out all the agricultural farms, the Fruit and Spice stand, the 'Robert is Here' fruit stand and the Knaups Berry Farm for world class cinnamon rolls. The lines were too long for us to wait, but we heard they were the best.
This is one of the most friendly parks I have stayed. We were there on Christmas and New Years and had a total blast. They had music, karaoke, dancing and potluck dinners. The staff was nice too, we met Jason who was super helpful. My friend flew in to visit and she rented one of their deluxe cabins. It was really nice, with a fireplace, fenced patio, loft, kitchen. The entire experience at this resort was enjoyable and felt like being at camp. Highly recommend a visit.
ScoutThe good: The campground is very reasonably priced relative to accommodations in the surrounding area. The facilities are clean and functional. The meh: This is a family campground so you may end up with noisy neighbors (and/or their children). The bad: Code Compliance is strict and will lurk until you leave your site and then stick a nasty-gram to your door about whatever rule you violated. Apparently good tape is in short supply - I found my note under my camper by chance. They placed the note after nightfall.
Guide
The pros are it was an affordable campground and great staff on site. The cons, prepare to get eaten alive by bugs. These are the 'no-see-ums' you read about and the bugs are tiny, but their bites last weeks and cause a lot of discomfort. If you have dogs, not the best option because they are not allowed, anywhere. This is a small park, pretty beach, but didn't work for our stay.
LegendCurry Hammock, Marathon, FL: Our favorite of the state parks in the Keys. (Though, I do hear that the new section at Bahia is spectacular.). Here, cleanliness, views and privacy are great.

GuideA little confusing getting here if it’s your first time. GPS will tell you to turn left into the campground when it’s a right at the stop sign from 184th/127th. The staff at the front was super helpful, but we never got info on a wifi code and didn’t notice until it was too late. Super clean bathrooms, which was surprising since we generally don’t expect much when staying in a public park setting. Very quiet and great for what we needed. The sites have enough room. Our site backed up to the bathrooms / laundry but there was enough space between to not be disruptive.
GuideNo shade, but a bar, restaurant, pool, beach, marina, and so much more. About an hour and 20 to Key West, but close to great fishing. I would definitely stay here again.
Guide
Very nice people and great fishing community
ScoutThe resort itself is large and surrounded by fruit trees, pine trees and other shady trees which offer coverage from the hot sun. Activities only December to April - pool is nice and the staff that directs you to your site is amazing. Otherwise no security after hours which allows rif raf to come in and use the pool, laundry facilities, etc which makes the area unsafe.
GuideThe campground is beautiful and everyone is super friendly but the music is extremely loud on weekends so keep that in mind if you’re staying anywhere close to the pool and bar area. Also- the cottage we stayed in had roaches, but they sprayed for them and were very nice and accommodating about it. Staff is amazing and being by the water is great. Love Fiesta Key and will definitely come back!
ScoutGood to stay here. Very nice sites, pool and playground
TravelerIt was tight getting our 32ft pull behind back to our spot, but folks all came out to offer tips and help us get around. So we actually got parked in fairly short order.
The dog walk area near our site was pretty small and it’s bookended by tent camp sites. My dogs were more interested in the goings on than doing their business and we couldn’t really walk them away from it.
That being said. The location is great! As I mentioned in the title. It’s cozy and friendly and pretty quiet.
The marina is nice. And the beaches were great launch points for kayaks.
I would, and probably will, stay here again.
Scout
Great
TravelerWe loved Fiesta Key! Some of our favorite parts of this resort were the weekly farmers market, the Easter egg hunt on Easter, the restaurant, snorkeling from the shore, and the how they pickup your trash for you right at your site. I sometimes it is the little things. 😆

I am so happy I found this beautiful piece of paradise and didn’t let bad reviews sway my decision. Every person has different experiences and unfortunately most people only write reviews when it’s negative. Alana and the Manager Jim have been so accommodating and helpful to me. As a first time RVer, Jim greeted me and helped me set up my whole RV and taught me how to clean out my tanks! He was so patient with how I wanted my RV to face the sunrise as he pulled me into the perfect spot with his forklift! I was so grateful for his help, it was unexpected as I was planning on opening my tutorial videos! Alana, knowing Hurricane Ian wiped out my home and business was thinking of ways to help me start up my paddle boarding business again down in The Keys. She has been so kind and patient with me! My favorite thing about Blue Fin is starting my mornings on the water, watching the sunrise on my paddle board just steps from my front door!
TravelerSo first ...the lits are privately owned. There is an HOA. Owner of site has authority over site not the staff. So if the staff makes an error with dates of your visit and the owners show up to stay at their site....you will need to pack up. Happened to us. The area is mostly fulltime/permanent traders that have been converted into a trailer house. Laundry room is not air conditioned. The "store/gift shop" is more of a check in and mail/package pick up. Dog friendly but not alot of grassy areas for dogs to play and do there business. 90% of area is like sand seashell material. There is a very small beach area...no dogs allowed. Kids playground is nice. Pool was opened...I did not go into pool area. We took our 2 digs down to Marathon FL to a dog park. Very nice and quiet with nice walking trail. I would not recommend this camp site.
LegendRV park with nice and and warm pool close to Miami.
GuideWe decided to go east during Snow Bird season. So we have been playing ping pong through out in the keys. Fiesta Key Resort is a very nice resort, we were going to be here for 2 nights and extended to 6. They have a restaurant that is good, beach, snorkeling, sun rises and sunset are serene. The staff are all amazing! The sites are great size, you aren’t on top of each other, plenty of room. Well for us it was plenty of room bc we have a 31’ class C motorhome with no tow. So we didn’t have to use up our extra space for the tow vehicle.
Scout
I called the owner to ask if the campsite is ready (per last review it wasn't ready in October). We wanted to book one week stay in February. The campsite is still quite not ready (no electricity, no water, no bathroom), but the owner would agree to one week stay. The app says $25-$50 per day. Which made me thinking, since it's not season yet, there's no amenities, that he would charge us ~$25. I was wrong, firm $50 price per night and no negotiations. Well, I wish him good luck doing business, you can find better campgrounds for much cheaper.

Ashley here with The Dyrt. I want to extend a warm welcome to Erick, your host. This property is beautiful and is the definition of camping! These sites a primitive and off-grid, so please be prepared before booking. There is a locked gate and the code is required to access the property, so be sure you discuss that with the host. Enjoy a tranquil stay and come back here to leave a review.

Ashley here with The Dyrt. I loved working with Vervica to get their listing created with us. This land is beautiful and features many tropical fruit trees that you can sleep under. This is a perfect place to stop on your visit to the Everglades or the Keys. Check them out and leave them some love here!
GuideIt was nice and quiet at night. It had sinks around camp for dishes etc. a small beach to launch your boat or paddle board to tour the mangroves. It has socks for big boats. It’s more permanent RV/homes with a couple rows for nightly rentals. The bathrooms were a bit of a walk from tent sites.
