Sitting on the water along the lower Florida Keys, about 27 miles northeast of Key West, Sugarloaf Key/Key West KOA Resort operates as a full-service RV and camping resort on Sugarloaf Key with direct water access, boat docking, and a marina. The campground was heavily damaged by Hurricane Irma in 2017 and has since been rebuilt, so facilities throughout the property are relatively new. Some construction was still ongoing as of late 2023, though the core infrastructure is operational.
Sites are wide, with gravel drives and full hookups including water, electric, sewer, WiFi, and cable TV. Most sites have some shrubbery providing a degree of privacy between neighbors. The property runs open in overall terrain, so shade varies. On-site amenities include a pool, hot tub, hammock area, private beach, kayak launch, boat ramp, small dog park, laundry, and a bar and grill with live music on weekends. One reviewer noted the music continued until around 9:30 to 10 p.m., which is worth factoring in if you're a light sleeper. Golf cart rentals are available, though the resort is compact enough to walk.
Rates start at $160 per night with a two-night minimum, which puts this on the higher end for campground pricing in the region. Nearby alternatives include Sugarloaf Key RV Resort & Cottages about a mile north, and Venture Out a few miles east. As Amanda W. puts it, the property offers "clean, modern, excellent landscaping and site options." Reservations are available and recommended.
