  Sigsbee Military RV Park

  My husband says "prison "

  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.

  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

  Encore Sunshine Key

  Fun atmosphere and activities, but lots of wind and seagrass on the beach

  We were so excited to visit this highly rated Thousand Trails Sunshine Key!  The pictures online are not exactly accurate.  The RV sites are barren with little shade - feels like a parking lot.  There are a LOT of full-timers here and they have the best sites, close to the marina and pool.  The resort has a fun/upbeat vibe with lots going on - happy hour with music, crafts and farmers market.  Our site 57 was more isolated and the park was only 2/3 full, even though the Thousand Trails website says it is full!

  There is a small beach area with lounge chairs and a Tiki hut.  Our dogs ran off leash and swam in the ocean as there was no one around.  They also have a marina and dock with beautiful sunset views.  The other guests were very friendly and we wish the weather was better to hang out and meet more people.  We had one day, out of 14 with clear, sunny skies.  The other days were raining a tropical storm and the winds were insane.  This was unusual however for December.

  Everyday the staff sends texts to remind you of activities - happy hour, live music, bingo, farmers market and crafts.  Friendly and welcoming and would recommend again.  I don't however, think it lives up to the hype of one of the very best Thousand Trails/Encore in the Keys.

  Marathon is a laid back, Keys island with eclectic dining, shops and activities.  We had dinner one night at Isla Bella - very upscale, but expensive.  The Sombrero Beach is beautiful and dog friendly if on a leash.

  Geiger Key RV Park

  Just 10 miles from Key West

  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.

  Great spot, but it’s not quite camping

  We love Cudjoe key. This is not a Campground or odd V resort. It is a condominium community that features eclectic housing in a gated Community. It is expensive, but not compared to similar RV resorts in the keys. Yo RV well been nestled among mobile homes, stick built structures, manufactured homes, and other RVs. Amenities include a beautiful swimming pool, rec hall, good laundry and showers, and the sense of being part of the community. The Saint Boondockin. Highly recommend it if you can live with numerous rules that are published in advance. Read them in advance.

  Encore Sunshine Key

  Extended Weekend stay

  Campground is big and surrounded by water. All gravel sites, very few trees. We were in the infield sites. Lots of RVs there for a long term stay, but people seem to go home during the week. Lots of fishermen. Seems too expensive to me. Laundry facility worked well, but way over at the marina.

  El Mar RV Resort

  Small, Clean and Close to Downtown

  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.

  Sigsbee Military RV Park

  Not bad

  Towed down after season had ended so we easily got a full hook up spot by the water. The over flow full hook up spot is much nicer than the main area as the main area everyone is stacked on top of each other. Snorkeling was noce but the camp host was very rude. The bathroom a d laundry are was clean. Keep in mind that I have heard that this campground is not pleasant to go to from fall to spring because snowbirds come down and live here.

  Great Location

  Great location in the lower keys. Our spot #400 on the beach was truly great. Lots of long term folks . Bathhouses are new but cleaning could be better. Sites are pea gravel pretty level. At these prices pretty amazing they want you to pay extra for Wi-Fi

  Bluewater Key RV Resort

  Beautiful and private resort

  We loved our time here - it was truly a luxury RV resort. Each spot is privately owned and has its own outdoor cabana (each spot is different though). We stayed in spot 10 on the canal side and loved it. The cabana was recently remodeled and had a nice fireplace and TV along with a kitchen and bar. Next time I think we would prefer to stay on the ocean side though!

  My favorite part of the keys

  There's only good to say about Sunshine Key RV resort. It's absolute paradise in the keys. Somewhat secluded and surrounded by nature and the ocean. The water isn't too deep surrounding the key which means beautiful blue warm water year round. The sunsets and sunrises are perfect. Road noise is minimal. Comcast service available at every site for remote workers such as myself. Friendly staff and neighbors. I will definitely book Sunshine Key for 3 months next winter.

  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.

  Laid back

  Laid back chill rv resort. Was able to book a day before and even got in a day early. I forgot what day it was and got there early and they got me a great spot. Had great neighbors that invited me to Christmas dinner. They are currently in construction Connecting to city sewer. Showers could use some updating but they have washers and dryer’s as well. Be sure to watch you may have a drunk lady playing with your laundry. The pool is open with nice water. Iguanas are shown in the trees. Going back next year.

  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.

  Sugarloaf Key West Holiday

  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.

  It’s a state park so no full hook ups. It has such beautiful scenery and in the ocean. It’s very hard to get a spot.

  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.

  Encore Sunshine Key

  Very Misleading.

  Paid extra for an elite waterfront spot and ended up in a spot right in front of trees with no view of the ocean at all. How can you consider that an elite water front without a view of the water? They have one phone number, which is a corporate number, and they're no help so they'll have someone from Sunshine Key Rv "call you back." But you don't ever get a call back lol. They save the spots with a view for their tiny homes and long term renters over by the marina. People let their dogs walk through your site and don't pick up their poop, there was trash throughout the park, and the employees just ride around on their golf carts not actually doing anything about any of it. Spend your money somewhere else.

  Great for families

  Overall 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.

  Big Pine Key RV Park

  Nice campground on the Atlantic Ocean

  We stayed here a week our site #99 is right on the water next to the fire pit. Nice view with full hook up, a picnic table, sites are tight with no privacy. This site faces the Atlantic so we weren’t facing another camper. The pool and clubhouse are nice and the laundry room has 5 washers and dryer’s. There is a boat ramp, fish cleaning station, docks for you boat and they sell gas for your boat. 

  The deer walk up to you    that’s nice. The office and store are nice lots of good things in there prices were good. We saw some sunrises and sunsets from our site. The bonfire pit is nice it’s propane so no smell which was nice. They turn it on every evening till 10:00. 

  The campground is maintained well, clean bath house, pool, clubhouse and laundry room very clean. There is a dish cleaning station next to an outside shower, for tent campers. 

  Over in the primitive camping area there’s a trail you can walk along the water lots of deer hoof prints, and derelict crab bouys. It’s a nice trail to walk there are sand spurs so wear shoes.

  The entire week we were there it was windy we had lots of seaweed blow in it does smell. Hardly anyone was there mid oct.  They store campers there too lots of snow birds come for the winter. 

  On Big pine key there’s a Winn Dixie, 2 hardware stores, the Big Pine Rooster restaurant, cocos has great Cubans, Trinaos taco truck, and drive out to the north name pub they have good pizza and homemade sangria. Bahia Honda state park is across the bridge it’s a nice place to spend a day. On Marathon Porky’s has a good breakfast and barbecue, the Sunset grill has good she crab soup, and the Keys Fishery good raw bar upstairs and cooked food downstairs. 

  I gave this campground a 4 star review due to no swim beach.

  Venture Out

  Recreation and location

  Venture 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!

  Price 2023: $ 150 through Hip Camp app. This was between Christmas and New Year - wry spendy.
  Security: Gated with personnel at gate at all times. Usage during visit: Heavy Site Privacy: Varies.
  Site Spacing: Close Site surface: Varies. Ours is gravel w concrete picnic pad. Reservations: Yes Campground Noise: Quiet enough Road Noise: Site dependent Through Traffic in campground:

  Boyd's Key West Campground

  Great Key West Experience

  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.

  Leo's Campground

  Solid spot for **low-key** adventures

  Why we booked: Seemed like the most solid spot for a quick stay close to Key West, which we were visiting mostly for Dry Tortugas NP.

  Campground: Parking lot vibes. All the things you'd expect from a private campground in a super popular RV area: tight spots, gravel, well-run but unspectacular.

  Quirks: Huge-ass iguana in the tree when we checked in. Adorable frog on our box when we left.

  Site: Just barely squeezed a 27-ft trailer and heavy-duty truck in there. It's Tetris.

  Nearby: Despite a Key West address, the campground is on Stock Island. A late night bike ride felt a little sketchy, and one night, a local friend we made at the bar insisted on driving us home because it wasn't a super safe place to wander around. FWIW, we had some great meals close to the campground.

  Value: Yeah...probably fair. Not a lot of land to go around down there. Doesn't feel great for what you get, but that's the game.

  Sugarloaf Key / Key West KOA - CLOSED

  Maybe reopening Oct 2018 after being destroyed by Hurricane Irma!

  We drove down from Palm Beach County Fl to Sugarloaf KOA June 2017, before Hurricane Irma to camp for the first time.

  I could do a whole comedy skit about a couple in their 50's tent camping for the first time but you asked for the campground review.

  Super easy to find, long semi bumpy road in covered with trees (hurricane probably brought those down :( )

  Tent camping was separate from the large RV's and pretty tightly packed which was fine.

  Large pool and on the weekend the bar had a great band performing. We relaxed on the sandy beach, tried fishing from the bridge and of course drove down to Key West for a few hours.

  Very clean restrooms and showers and fully stocked store…even the families with small children kept them occupied and behaved.

  Can't wait until they reopen!

  Big Pine Key RV Park

  Great Lower Keys Location with Great Amenities

  We stayed at Big Pine Key from January 21- February 08th of 2022. We had a small trailer camper, Clam screen tent, an outdoor kitchen set-up and hammocks. There was a nice heavy picnic table on the site. Our site was on the channel and provided us with plenty of space for our setup. It had electric and water. There are many wonderful amenities including a pool, laundry room, recreation area with ping pong and a pool table, a nice store with provisions, a community fire pit area, and great walking trails directly off of the rustic tent camping area which runs along the beach. We brought our two Labrador Retrievers with us and felt comfortable with them at all times. Everyone was friendly and respectful. Big Pine Key is a great location for recreation or amenities. It is just 30 minutes to Key West or Marathon.We are already scheduled to go back in January of 2023 for a longer stay.
