Henry Flagler’s bold effort to build a railroad to Key West in the early 1900s turned the remote island of Bahia Honda Key into a tropical destination. Known for its iconic Florida scenery—palm-lined beaches, gin-clear waters and magnificent sunsets—visitors to the park enjoy balmy sea breezes that caress the shores year-round. Kayaks and snorkeling gear can be rented and boat trips to the reef for snorkeling excursions are available. Bayside (sites #73-80) is the smallest campground with only eight sites. All sites in this campground are NON electric. There is a vehicle height restriction of 6 feet 8 inches. Your vehicle must be able to go under the new Bahia Honda Bridge to access this campground. All sites have a picnic table, grill and water. Campers have a small restroom nearby and can use of the bathhouse with hot showers in the Buttonwood campground which is one-half mile away.
$36 - $160 / night

This is all brand new. And pricy. There is a 2 night minimum and sites start at $160/night (and go up). They had extensive damage from hurricane Irma in 2017 and have rebuilt everything. They have only been reopen 2 years. There is still some construction ongoing. Sites are nice. Most are tucked into the shrubberies so they have privacy. Wide sites with Gravel drives, new style hook-ups for water, electric, wifi and cable tv. Bathrooms and showers are very nice. There is a “resort style” pool, (whatever that means), a private beach (not dog friendly), hot tub, boat dock & marina, a small dog park, and kayak rental and they rent three-wheel bikes for kids to terrorize everyone. They are about 27 miles from Key West. They have a pub with “live music” till 10pm weekends. It was annoying but we found a nice little restaurant at the Geiger Key Marina, and thankfully the “music” stopped about 9:30.

We got an Airbnb and it was adorable! The owners took us out on their boat for a sunset cruise and it was a really great location. Not too far from Key West, but you could still feel like you were in nature. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway. The pool is awesome and it’s also not too far away from some great beaches.
Guide
This is a great spot to escape the cold. It is a fair distance from Key West, about a half hour drive. This location does have all the amenities you wake me though.

We tent camped 3 nights, leaving Bahia Honda yesterday, May 2nd.
The Bath Houses were destroyed by Irma and the Atlantic Ocean area is fenced off due to damage. We enjoyed the Gulf Beach and kayaked in the Gulf. The weather was perfect, very warm days, but cool nights.
The Park is using very nice, modern trailers for restrooms and showers. Everything was very clean and had hot showers.
The Atlantic sites are gone and won't be available for maybe 2 more years, I will keep checking.
It is still one of the best campgrounds in Florida and only 30 miles from Key West.
LegendVenture Out: this is about 40 minutes from downtown Key West. That is the main benefit of being here for us. Our site was on a canal with a view down the canal to what I would call a bay. Nice sunset and nice sunrises from our location. There are lots of recreational activities available here. Tennis, pickle ball, swimming pool, hot tub,ping-pong, billiards, and of course, boating. Our site and many other sites have a place to dock a boat right behind the site. We don’t have a boat , so we do not know all the ins and outs regarding that.
This is a very friendly atmosphere. Staff are all courteous. Residents, by and large are helpful to guests like us. One resident gave up a washer for our benefit!

TravelerOverall this is a great park to camp. RV spots are quite long and have decent amount of space on the side. Perfect for those huge toy haulers with pop out patios. Full hookups with 50/30/15 amp availability at all sites. Gravel spots to park your RV in and most sites are pull through. They have several activities going on throughout the week for both children and adults. Have a pool but no hot tub. Make sure you get to the pool early though as it closes at sunset. They do have a beach and place to dock your boat. No general store on site but there is a gas station that is about 50 feet from the main entrance. They have all the RV essentials that one would need.
TravelerMy father and I rode our motorcycles from Wisconsin to Key West in October 2019. My father was able to reserve a cabin in Bahia Honda for two nights. The location and views were amazing. The water is clear and the staff was polite and helpful. Look forward to returning in a RV someday.

Super friendly staff, always answer the phone, are available 24/7 and are so polite. Great little store with a perfect mix of souvenirs, snacks and RV equipment. Pool, onsite food truck, nearby restaurant, easy Uber/lyft to key west or golf cart rental, nice bathrooms, great tiki hang out and game room. On top of it all We weathered a tropical storm here - wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
LegendThis is a great campground just off Key West on Stock Island. The surrounding area is a bit run down but once you’re inside the campground who cares 🤣. Key West is expensive place to stay but you can stay here for a quarter of the price! They have large spaces, lush landscaping and a boat dock!
RangerThis is one of the most beautiful campgrounds we have ever stayed at. It maintains the relaxed feel of Key West with excellent facilities, a friendly staff, all located in a lush tropical environment.
It is located on the water with its own boat launch and dock. It is also conveniently located to the heart of all the activities that Key West has to offer.
We stayed here in a Class A motor home.
TravelerBoyd’s campground is in an awesome location with close proximity to Key West favorites like Hogfish Bar and the Absinthe House. When they say water view, they mean it! The sites pull up right to the edge of the water where you can dip your toes in and enjoy an epic sunrise. The airplanes are a little loud and wifi is spotty on the island but that’s just a little character for Key West. 10/10 recommend!!
TravelerThis is really a very nice campground for all size of camping rigs or tents with a boat ramp and boat slips. On Stock Island where the local University, Hospital, Golf Club and the Police Department, as well as commercial fishing, marinas and restaurants are located. Key West is a short bike or bus ride away. The campground has great facilities for swimming, sunning, wine parties, potlucks, etc.
On our recent visit the family which owns and runs the park provided a buffet dinner at the pool for all campers to celebrate their 60th year in business.
Many of the campers have been coming for years.
The only drawback is that it is hard to get into and expensive. But Key West always provides great weather!
GuideBoyd’s is located on Stock Island which is just 5 miles from Duval Street in Key West. I really enjoy the water front campsites that are offered at Boyds. This campsite also has a pool.
LegendOverall a beautiful resort. Centrally located to Key Largo, Marathon and Key West. Has it's own beach, marina and fishing pier. Local fishing charters, parasailing and snorkeling. Love this place will def be back!
TravelerThere are no boondocking sites in Key West so we started looking at State Parks. Bahia Honda was not only the best for camping but also I thought had the best swimming. The sites were a good size and the view was breathe taking.
TravelerYou just can’t beat the location of this campground to Key West! But beyond that you are located on the water between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. You can even enjoy a site on the water with a dock and all guests can use the on-site boat ramp! The lush grounds are beautifully maintained and the nice size pool is beautiful. It’s a very peaceful setting and just a few miles from Duval Street. The small store has basic needs and you can even eat at the on-site food truck. I highly recommend Boyd’s when you plan a trip to the Florida Keys.
GuideI loved this camp. Clean bathrooms .. loot of RV .. tent sites are by water and few by RV. Small sites so make sure u dont have 8 and more ppl tent. Close by is Air Force Base so u can watch and specially heard their training fly overs. U are quick from this camp in downtown Key West by The 0 mile sign and in middle of everything.
GuideOne of the prettiest campsites since it is right on Key West water. A few of us stayed at Boyd’s a few years back for my birthday. Being in February and our site being directly on the water made it difficult to set up our tent due to high winds, however, it didn’t stop us from making a fire and watching the boats come and go and inviting the array of wildlife to hang out.
LegendI rolled into Key West without any clear idea of where I was going to stay. Boyd's was the first place I came across, and I felt no need to look any further. I was initially concerned about crowding here, but Boyd's had multiple waterfront tent sites available on a weeknight in August. I got my pick, and it came with shade trees, a picnic table, and iguanas. Incredible.
This campground's top selling point is its location. If it were anywhere else, I might have grumbled about the price, or the tightness of the campsite, or the proximity to neighbors (they are mere feet away). But, you're in Key West, literally right on the water, and close enough to downtown that you can get there by bicycle (or, in my case, kick scooter). This felt like an amazing bargain, especially when you factor in the excellent bathrooms and the large, clean, temperature-controlled swimming pool. There is also a camp store and a laundry room. Every amenity you could ask for, basically. There was even fast WiFi coverage throughout the whole campground, a first in my experience.
If I ever journey back to the southernmost point in the continental US, I would stay at Boyd's again in a heartbeat. This campground ticks all the boxes.
GuideWe loved our stay here! We had a spot on the water and enjoyed a beautiful view of the water! The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. The campground is very well kept. It is located in a great area of the keys, so it is a nice drive to Key West, or you can visit several trails close by. Big Pine Key and Bahia Honda State Park are very close and offer excellent scenery!
GuideSo much to do. The staff instantly delivers customer service the moment you drive in. They drop your boat in water for you and show you to your spot and help you get hooked up. All the staff was so kind and friendly. The pool was amazing!! It has a chiller on it which is a must in south Florida in the summer. So nice and cool it was easy to hang out in it all day. It was easy to get an Uber ride to Key West and the bus stopped real close. The site was big and plenty of room. The entire place was pet friendly. The only “negative” was the sandy mud. Make sure you have a large outside mat so you don’t track the mud in and you are good.
LegendIf we had to rate the campground itself, we would give it three stars max. The sites are very small and the whole place has a dirty beach vibe. But it’s located on a very pretty bay where you can watch boats as well as fighter jets from the naval air station. It’s 15 minutes from the heart of key west. There is a Cuban food truck in the park and I highly recommend the con leche! There is a well-stocked store as well. Watch for falling iguanas! They sun themselves in the trees.
GuideOMG! This resort is definitely one of our faves! Torquoise water, leaning palm trees, white sand beach! We fell in love not only with the resort, but the proximity to Bahia Honda and Key West. Sites are decent, showers were recently remodeled and laundry room was very large. Many activities going on at the club house. Great playground for the kids. AND, you have to check out the marina. Water's so clear you can see all kinds of fish, sharks, jelly fish and manatees. Love, love, love this RV resort! Check out our youtube video on the park! https://youtu.be/R8LMrxOXhUo

Stayed here one night. There are only 11 sites with full hook ups, no showers, restrooms, laundry or WiFi, but you can get spots right on the water. They are strict with the rules there which isn't a problem, just a heads up for those disrespectful people who do not clean up after their dogs and those with inadequate sewer hook ups on their rigs. We were told they were recently fined for such behavior from visitors with is sad and that there are cameras to keep a closer eye on things. Chris and Fiona were very nice. It's a quick bike ride into downtown Key West.
Good cell reception with AT&T and Verizon.
ScoutWe stayed there for 3 days. Everything you need is almost provided there but service is lacking a lot. Today in the morning as September 2nd, we called the office for a refund as they said they would be happy to help before but it has been 7 weeks and they are not helping at all. They hang up phones on you, very afraid to tell you their names as they know that they are charged for something bad. There are other RV campgrounds in Key West where you can get great service from! The only reason they are on top of google search because they are paying google ads, which shows on the little corner, so do not fool for it.
TravelerThis is our 3rd year at Boyd’s and we love it just as much (or more) than our first. The people who camp here are so nice, we see the same friends every year and meet new ones! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Their pool is great and heated with fun night swims. Their bathrooms are usually not very busy since there are so many RVs - with a popup it’s nice to have empty bathrooms. Boyd’s close proximity to Key West is also awesome since you can rent a golf cart or scooter to get into town to do all the fun things!
Personally - I didn’t like this years site since it’s right in front of the entrance with lots of traffic but it was still good!
GuideWe enjoyed our 2 nights at Boyd’s. We stayed in a tent site on the water with our camper van. If we had chosen a tent site on the water with elec/water then it would have been a bit bigger...but still tight. If you park just right and place your tent just so then you can get more privacy but not much more. The bathhouses were nice and it was great to have laundry and a cute town nearby. The ‘One Love’ Food Truck about .5 miles away made the whole experience super great. Best Food Truck ever! There is a local gym walking distance away too. Lots to do and a short drive to Key West. The price was a bit high for the squeezed in spaces but worth it to us for the location and amenities.
