Peaceful little island

This island offers great camping experience! Kayak and puddle board to snorkeling with beautiful fishes and manatee if you are lucky;)

The best place to spend on long weekends away from crowds and technology.

It was noisy at late night that sound came from riviera beach or WPB port area constantly hearing construction sound- Hope it was just the last weekend.

Dog friendly- Big fire place for everyone- Camping site well organized- BBQ pit everywhere with tables- Shower is pretty clean- Bathroom clean-

It was perfect for small kids to running around and felt very safe.

Thank you peanuts island and we will come back again!

Cozy Island Campground

The only way to get to this campground is by boat. Reservations are very difficult to get because is a small campground. There are bathrooms with shower next to the campground. All sites are tent only sites and they are very close to each other. You can get two sites instead of one when available. There is some shade in the campground area but in the summer can get very hot. Please note that this is a very popular weekend boat hangout and is often full of visitors.
