"The Florida Keys can be an expensive place to stay so this campground is a nice inexpensive alternative. It can be buggy and of course, hot...it is Florida after all."
"One of my favorite places in the Florida keys. The scenery is pristine. Very full most of the time it takes a few months in advance to get a spot sometimes a year out."
"I was able to get the most private tent site in the campground, the very last one next to their (gorgeous) nature trail on the ocean. "
"Good central location with access to upper and lower keys."
"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."
"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.)"
"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. "
"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."
"This place has a breathtaking view you feel as if you are on some other island vacation when you are really just on the mainland of Florida highly recommend"
"Travel with my service dog and had no reservations. Nice’s people on the planet, ask for Mona and say hello from campsite #60. She knows. Ocean view like nowhere else."
$100 - $300 / night
"Plenty of room to move around. Very relaxing and well worth the money."
"Facilities are nicely kept. 20 minute drive to Key West. Luv luv luv!!!"
"Large community tv and bar area, live music on Saturday night, a renovated “pier” area with kayaks and paddle boards for the tidal lagoon, a walking path around the lagoon, clean comfort station, and a"
"There aren’t any fire pits at the sites but is one in the common area next to the small pool."
$36 - $120 / night
"Clean camp sites with electric and water besides a handful of sites located in the tent only section. It is water only."
"It is really neat to walk on the old bridge, and learning the history of it."
"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."
"Boat ramp, kayak launch, private beach, small dog park/run. Full hookups, laundry & shower/bath house. Trash pickup all day."
"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."
"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."
GuideThis campground has great reviews and we were looking forward to our visit. Our site was right on the water, facing the overseas freeway. We loved the location but we could not sleep, it was so loud with the traffic, trucks and cars. Our site was 15 and faced the highway. The park was lovely, the grounds and the beaches beautiful. However, if you have dogs, it's a no-go. No dogs allowed and they have to stay at your camp. We were disappointed because potentially, we could return and stay for 14 nights, but with two nights of zero sleep, we were ready to go. The nearest town is Big Pine Key and there's a Winn Dixie, UPS store, bagel shop and a dog park. The dog park was packed so not an option. Maybe check out other campsites that don't have the freeway noise.
ScoutWe really love this park we would go back we stayed by the dog park we stayed at three park but this was the best
LegendPerfect 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 :)
RangerClean, modern, excellent landscaping & site options. Beautiful pool, huge hot tub & hammock area. Extremely friendly & helpful staff. Only 15 mins north of Boyd’s and a thousand times better. Boat ramp, kayak launch, private beach, small dog park/run. Full hookups, laundry & shower/bath house. Trash pickup all day.
LegendThis 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.
GuideBeautiful RV resort. Very clean, awesome fenced in dog park with a sprinkler and water bowl. Large pavilion with a beautiful beach and boat dock area. The swimming area was my only very slight disappointment. Wear water shoes, the rocks are rough. No beach area right with the swimming area, they are in separate areas. Other than that, the staff was great and we will definitely stay here again.
TravelerWe only stayed 3 nights here but I could have stayed for much longer. It's a beautiful location that is all brand new. Just 20 min scenic drive and you are in Key West. If you have never been to Key West before I suggest you find a golf cart rental as the streets are narrow with parking on both sides.
The staff here was phenomenal. The only downside in the whole park was the laundry facility and showers could have been a little bigger but other than that we were impressed. The Pub had some great cocktails and was right next to the pool which the kids loved. We didn't eat here but did get a recommendation for some great pizza just 4 miles a way (A Slice of Paradise) that was great! They had corn hole (bags as we call it in the north), go-cart rentals, a fun dog park (no pooch with on this adventure but it looked great), kayak rentals, a marina and more.
Something to keep in mind is that this is located on a channel and the beach is not as nice as others. The water isn't the picturesque blue you may be thinking of for Key West. But it was still nice. I definitely recommend some water shoes as it is a little rough up next to shore.
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.
GuideOverall poor maintenance in campsites. Ours had safety issues with dock. After pictures and reviews we expected a lot more from this place. Nighttime staff is just plain nasty to guests and doesn’t follow the rules. Daytime staff was excellent. Was told only reason this place has all positive reviews on website is because they don’t post any less than 5. Very dishonest. We live in Florida, regular maintenance prevents rust and dock issues. Came here to relax and unwind and instead we were screamed at like children that were misbehaving badly for sitting at the pool relaxing or walking our dog.
