Great video…inspiring and informative. thanks
Thank you
We have got to get down there to camp and paddle. Cool video and great info. Subbed!
Thanks for the video!
Hello Campendium.
My first time in the Florida Keys was in May of this year. LOVED IT! I went all the way to MM 1. I Stayed at Boyd’s Campground. It was amazing from the time I checked in, to the time I checked out. I’m headed back in October, same place. Thank you for the video on the other State Parks.
Loved blue water RV resort can’t wait to get back there
Goan feeja 2 my gaydoh
Just came from Key West stayed on the Naval Base Oceanfront for a week in my RV and hung downtown on Duvall Street I rented a moped for the week and enjoyed myself also when jet skiing power sailing so all your military people check out the naval base
I have been camping in Florida. Most recently I stayed at Devil’s Den.
Thinking of trying the keys soon. Thanks for the video.
I lived in south Florida for a couple of decades. I know the keys backwards. There is nowhere to park other than campsites and parks. So if you do that bring a big wad of cash. It is EXPENSIVE. Believe me the novelty of winter sun and palm trees gets old in about a week. If you are older and are into boondocking and just want the warmth there are other options. The Keys are an endless series of arty farty stores, greasy spoon joints charging top dollar for crappy burgers and various other places that are there purely to extract money from you. People are not particularly friendly and places like Duval, Captain Tony’s, Sloppy Joe etc are packed and super dear. Every time I went asked myself why I kept doing this. Having said that the museums and some of the sights are worth doing in KW. It is an interesting place. The sunset parties have turned into mini carnivals every night. When I went fishing I’d sleep in my minivan on an inflatable mattress in a friends yard on Pine Key. Don’t dare sleep in a van on the street because the cops are ruthless and the fines are wicked.
Talk about. Ramp and boat slips
Hope you enjoy mosquitos and super humidity. Oh, and it’s a giant tourist trap. Keylime pies are frozen and made in China.
Westside faces the Gulf of Mexico. Eastside faces the Atlantic Ocean.
Thanks 😊
Love the Keys…don’t camp there anymore though. It is nearly impossible to get a good site unless you plan a year in advance and even with that, a decent Hurricane can quickly change that! Some of the camps I used to go to are closed due to storm damage or were wiped out for construction of the Hotels/Condo’s (like America Outdoors CG). Pennekamp is as it always has but when I visited last summer at it seemed noisy from traffic noise. I also noticed the rates in some of the nicer parks are stupid high per night…like Disney Fort Wilderness CG "in season rates" high! Hey, I am Flo-Grown, so I know the area as it once was…fun camping then. Maybe someday I will plan an RV trip there, but given the plethora of great camping on the East/West Coasts of the state, I am not sure when.
Just passed through Jacksonville and stayed an Hanna Park and it was nice…not a lot of frills but decent wooded sites and it looked like they have been upgrading the power/water and sewer connections. I saw big rigs in there but know it is tight, so be warned. Super beaches with white "sugar sand" and lots of shells for those who like to collect. When I was there, there were lots of open sites and the beaches were far from crowded. (went the week before Christmas).
I stealth camped in the keys for about six weeks a few years back in a 2006 toyota sienna. Had a great time, snorkeling, paddle boarding, hanging out on the beach. I would work out in the evenings at the little park in key west by the beach with pull up bars and stuff. Solitude is not hard to find once you get out on the water. A six week vacation in the keys for around 500 dollars, food gas and everything. I pity the masses, I really do.
Are all these "Paid Sites Only" or are any of them free sites?
Big Pine key fishing lodge was my favorite while tent camping this spring. Most of the stats parks weren’t open for camping yet.
With growing up in the keys, I hate being around the salt water and the heat. People thinks salt water is great for the skin but overtime, it dries and damages skin over years. I myself prefer the natural springs in the woods more. However there was nice camping offers in the keys last year with for the first time without making a reservation made a year or more in advance. Last time I checked the prices in the keys with my military discount ranged from $16 to $18 a night which is nice however.
For an awesome experience take your tent, a cooler with some food and ferry out to the dry tortugas and camp out for one night. The stars are amazing.
So excited to check all these out! Thank you!
I’m new to Rv camping can staying by the ocean cause rust to develop on your RV would love to stay by the water
Wish you would have shared the prices for each place…
Long Key State Park was devastated by Hurricane Irma 9/17. There are no longer any campsites left. So sad.
After reviewing rates and availability of the parks you mention, I can neither afford the cost nor the time it takes to get a site. For me, camping is about a level of spontaneity and not planning months in advance. Thanks Florida, but I’ll pass.
We dry camp, and being retired military, we stay on Key West at Trumbo Famcamp. Easy walk to Old Town.
What about what 1000 a month
the Florida keys is right up my ally but camping is not ha ha ha richard in south florida
Great information thanks. What would you say would be the average price?
"Long Key State Park" I was sitting in a lawn chair one night watching the full moon with a light wind blowing the palm tree. I was only about 20 feet from the Atlantic Ocean. It was so perfect, until a Big Rat jumped in the lawn chair with me. Long Key is infested with RATS !!!!!
What park is it that the gorgeous silver Airstream is parked on (right on the beach and surrounded by palms) about a quarter of the way into the video? Gorgeous!
well said
You have to book these places at least a year in advance unless you get real lucky. Then they are outrageously expensive.
I love the Keys but the State Parks are always booked a year in advance. The private RV parks could easily cost $150 a night with a minimum 5 night booking. Blue Water RV Park is beautiful but costly. Take kayaks and bicycles.
I was so excited to come across this video, and you confirmed several of the places where I’ve made or tried to make reservations! I am retired and planning a 6-week solo camping trip this spring from Mississippi to Key West going down Hwys 1 and A1A on the east coast and then back on the west side of the state. I had heard that reservations for the state parks start 11 months before your planned date, and I was already about 10 months away from when I wanted to go, so Curry Hammock State Park and Bahia Honda State Parks were already full (wow!!), and I got the last reservation available at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. For the Marathon area, I got a reservation at Jolly Roger. For Key West, I made a reservation on the water at Boyd’s RV Resort (splurge for 3 days). I plan to stealth camp a lot of the trip, but after I worked out a plan, I recently did make a few other one-night reservations at Fort Clinch State Park (first night in Florida), Roger Gamble State Park, Wikiwa State Park (2 nights for stops at Universal Studios and Disney Animal Kingdom), Jonathan Dickerson State Park, and Collier-Seminole State Park. Funny story about Wikiwa…I thought I was making a reservation at Weeki Wachee which, as it turns out does not have camping, but accidently made it at Wikiwa. So, when I realized it, and had already paid for two nights, I just changed the reservation to when I will actually be in that area and am planning to go to the Disney parks. Worked out great! My adventures will be reported on my youtube channel.back
I’m looking to backpack/hammock camp in June for 5 days,if any one could help or offer information it would be amazingly appreciated!!
Love Jolly Roger rv park
Beautiful and nice amenities
Is it open now?
There’s still some places to hide when camping but there’s no view to anything worthwhile. You have to spend some money for a place along the water.
Neither of the places mentioned in key west are in key west.why be misleading?
We stayed at Jolly Roger, Great park
If you go camping in the keys beware of rabid deer ,foaming at the mouth,with rabies ,thousands of them,just have a machine gun and you’ll be safe
Really? No mention of Boyd’s Campground. Next time please include the best campground in the Keys!
Yes sir..
Blue water is great
Have fun.
The campground at Long Key is closed for construction but walk-in tent camping has been made available. 8/31/2020.
We stayed at blue water key and it was amazing the only time we went in our camper was to sleep and shower, and we had a private dock
I wouldn’t recommend Blue Water Key RV park to my worst enemy. They are a very unsavory bunch and practice bait and switch! They tell you one thing and do quite another. Not a nice place.
I love The Keys!!
