Pelican Point

1 site · Lodging40 acres · Key Largo, FL
Welcome to PELICAN POINT! We are so excited to share one of our favorite places with you. Come enjoy our brand new luxury RV with all the amenities of home. We have a 38 foot Sport Trek Touring Edition trailer. It is tastefully decorated, very clean and in an excellent location within the Kampground. If you enjoy cooking then you're going to love this set up. There is an outdoor kitchen with a propane flattop grill, food preparation area, outdoor refrigerator, TV with DVD player, bluetooth speakers, and a stainless steel sink! It is the ultimate entertainment space. We have tried to achieve the "glamping" status for our guests. Gather the family, grab a cozy blanket and watch a movie on the 8 foot custom made sofa with sunbrella cushions. Take a stroll to the beach at the end of the street or just simply hang out at the pool. If you want to get really crazy, join the locals for BINGO at the clubhouse! (only offered in the winter season). There are boat slips for rent, a boat ramp, swimming pool, beach volleyball, basketball, bocce ball, badminton, children's playground, laundry facilities and more. The master bedroom has a queen sized Layla memory foam mattress, a fireplace for chilly nights (we do get some cool days every once in a while!) and an en-suite bathroom. The couch has heated massage seats that recline with cup holders, an outlet and USB charging ports. There is a wireless charging pad above the fireplace in the main living area for your convenience. The kitchen is upgraded with solid surface counters, stainless steel sink and has a gas stove. There is a full Calphalon pot and pan set, Ninja blender, Calphalon toaster, pour over coffee, electric kettle and all the things you'll need to cook for your loved ones. The dinette converts into a bed. The bunk room is in the rear and not just a fun place to sleep. There is a table for board games and another full size sofa. During the day that would be a perfect place to work from home remotely. The couch is a jack knife style which converts into a full size bed. There are three additional beds, 3 with mattress toppers as well so everyone will be very comfortable! The windows have black out shades so if you have little ones they can nap mid-day after they've had a full morning of fun! Each bedroom has a 32 inch wall mounted smart TV, the living room has a 40 inch as well as the outdoor entertainment area. Both 40 inch TV's are equipped with DVD players and Roku's so feel free to login to any of your own streaming accounts. The trailer has high speed wifi. There are two separate bath houses in the Kampground. They are both a short walk from the trailer and have full showers and toilets. One is located on the backside of the main office and the other is across from the clubhouse. This is great for larger groups! It allows more people to get ready at the same time, especially if you're trying to make it to dinner reservations. That just means more time for sightseeing or relaxing at the pool! While the trailer has 1.5 bathrooms this is a great bonus. Outside of the Kampground there is every activity you could image from jetskis, to eco-tours, fan boats, snorkeling, swimming with the dolphins, scuba diving, para-sailing, live music, boat charters where you get to keep your catch! You can even bring it to a local restaurant where they will prepare it for you. Check out the guest book for more info on restaurants and activities. Key Largo Kampground & Marina is located 50 miles south of Miami on a quiet 40 acre tropical setting (Mile Marker 101.5 Oceanside). It is a quarter mile off U.S. 1, one mile south of the entrance to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park (around 7 min by car). Our location in Key Largo is the perfect getaway for exploring all the Keys have to offer. John Pennekamp Park offers glass-bottom boats, snorkel, sailing, scuba tours, kayak and paddle-board, rentals and family water fun.

Camping in the Florida Keys guide

Overview

If your dream camping destination involves white-sand beaches, swaying palms, and ocean views, the Florida Keys will fulfill all your postcard fantasies. Take your pick of islands and spend your days snorkeling and scuba diving along vibrant coral reefs, boating, and fishing along the coast, or kayaking and canoeing at state parks. Camping lets you experience the Keys’ natural landscapes up close, and there are plenty of spots to park your RV, pitch a tent, go glamping, or check into a beachside cabin. The best camping weather is in winter (December-February), while summer campers have high humidity and hurricane season (June-November) to contend with.

Where to go

Key Largo & Biscayne

The gateway to the Keys and the self-proclaimed Dive Capital of the World, Key Largo is ground zero for snorkelers and scuba divers. Uncover the underwater wonders at the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, dive the USS Spiegel Grove shipwreck, or take a glass-bottom boat cruise through the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. RV parks and campgrounds dot Key Largo, or head north into Biscayne National Park to pitch your tent at a secluded island campsite reachable only by boat. 

Upper & Middle Keys

A road trip along the Overseas Highway is the only way to explore the Keys, stopping off along the way to discover the six islands of Islamorada, go hiking in Lignumvitae Key Botanical State Park, or enjoy fishing along the coast. Incredible views are guaranteed along the Seven Mile Bridge to Marathon, where you can camp at Curry Hammock State Park.

Lower Keys

If you’re looking to escape the crowds, the tiny islands of the Lower Keys are the perfect spot, where you’ll find tranquil campgrounds and seaside cottages for rent. The public campground at Bahia Honda State Park is a popular choice, where you can swim, snorkel, and stand-up paddleboard at picturesque beaches. Stop by the National Key Deer Refuge at Big Pine Key to fawn over the miniature Key deer, an endangered species. 

Key West & Dry Tortuga

With its colorful conch houses, lively nightlife, and Cuban heritage, Key West is a town like no other, perched at the western tip of the Keys. After visiting the Ernest Hemingway House, watching the sunset from Mallory Square, and bar-hopping along Duval Street, hop on a boat or seaplane to discover the remote Dry Tortugas National Park. Better yet, bring your tent and spend the night.
