Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Key West, FL

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.

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.

They bill this as an authentic Florida Key Fish Camp, but with waterfront hook-ups, boat slips, laundry, showers, plus Florida Keys famous fishing. Just 10 miles from Key West. Sites are close together, but most people don’t stay in the campground with Florida Keys fishing, and Key West nearby. There is a marina, and some sites are right on the water. The Marina has charters for deep water fishing, or kayaks and paddle boards. We saw manatees in the mangroves. Also a restaurant where they will cook your catch, or order from their menu.

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.

We were bothered daily by a camp host. Because people live there, there is a rotation schedule from dry camping areas to full hook-ups. We never moved to a full hook-ups because we weren't there long enough. They don't take reservations. Its first come first serve in all camping spots. We would not have been allowed to continue dry camping in our spot if we had wanted to. The dry camping area is nicer and more private than the area for full hook-ups. The cost was low and considering the time of year and unnecessary drama we tolerated during our stay it was nice. The laundry and bathroom facilities are nice and well maintained. We were close driving or bicycling distance from Key West.

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.

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.

Perfect location for visiting the keys. Easy access and right on the water. Check in was easy and we booked a standard back in site. While they have golf cart rentals, we didn’t need them as this is a small resort and easy to walk. They have a pool area with bar and grill, and live music. The beach has inflatables for kids. The dog park is small, but still nice. The staff is all top notch! Definitely visit the jumping bridge down the street! Great hidden gem :)

Camp ground is very clean, and a short drive to anything in Key West. Only downside I can think of is the price, but it is Key West so everything is expensive.

This 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!

This 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.

We went in 2014 and staying at the koa made Key West very affordable! Friendly camp neighbors and great amenities made for an amazing vacation!

This 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!

First time visiting key west....would recommend going when it's not so hot! Would have been nice to have a change machine in laundry room since it only accepts quarters. Very nice staff.

Boyd’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.

Best campground in the area. Sites are beautiful and many have tiki/gazebo room Right on the water Fish and snorkel from your own site Very relaxing and great getaway Only 15-20 min to heart of key west and all it has to offer !

You 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.
