Best Cabin Camping near Key West, FL

121 Reviews

Cabins near Key West provide oceanfront accommodations at several established campgrounds, including Boyd's Key West Campground and El Mar RV Resort. Most rental cabins include essential amenities such as air conditioning, electricity, and basic furniture. Cabin units typically feature private bathrooms, small kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves, and comfortable sleeping areas. According to one visitor, "Very clean and a lot to do in the area. Front desk was very polite and helpful. Can't wait to go back!" Some waterfront cabin rentals offer direct water views, with options ranging from basic rustic units to more deluxe accommodations with upgraded furnishings and fixtures.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Sugarloaf Key/Key West KOA Resort offers cabin rentals with fifty-amp electrical hookups, running water, and trash service. Cabins at Bahia Honda State Park provide a more natural setting with picnic tables outside each unit. Many cabins permit pets, though specific restrictions may apply. Advance reservations are essential, particularly during winter months when seasonal visitors occupy many units. One camper shared: "The sites are roomy. A place to grill on site. Room for parking car/truck. Clean campgrounds."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen setups vary significantly between locations, with some offering only minimal equipment while others provide fully-equipped cooking facilities. Several campgrounds, including Encore Sunshine Key and Venture Out on Cudjoe Key, maintain on-site markets where basic provisions can be purchased. Cabin guests should check specific amenity listings before arrival, as furnishing levels differ between properties. Nearby restaurants offer dining alternatives when self-catering is not preferred.

    Sugarloaf Key/Key West KOA Resort

    Southern most KOA

    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.

    Buttonwood Campground — Bahia Honda State Park

    Still a great place post Irma

    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.

    Go South For The Winter!

    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.

    Stayed here in an Airbnb

    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.

    Boyd's Key West Campground

    Boyd’s, A Key West Tradition

    Have been to Boyd’s a couple of times in the not so distant past and have reservations again in November. Both times stayed ocean side which is really on the water on the back bay. Sites are on the smallish side but when Boyd’s opened it was in the early 60’s when campers were small and the lots were large. Don’t let that scare you off, they make it work. Pool and deck area are well maintained and relaxing. Plenty of tropical trees and plants and warm breeze to remind you this really is paradise. Laundry facilities clean, change machine, on wall, books to thumb through as you wait. Shower houses are ample, water is hot, doors lock. Dumpsters throughout the park. Tent area for rustic camping. Dish washing area should you need it. Boat docks, launch and fish cleaning station. Pet friendly. (Hey, kids, Boyd’s gives away iguanas free of charge to anyone who can catch them. Don’t tell Mom or Dad. Let it be a surprise for when you get home.) Boyd’s is actually on Stork Island which is a stones throw to Key West. Easy and fast check in, friendly staff.

    Boyd's Key West Campground

    Great family RV park

    So 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.

    Boyd's Key West Campground

    Deluxe island camping

    I 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.

    What’s not to love - our kind of vibe

    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.

    Encore Sunshine Key

    Affordable Paradise!

    OMG!  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
