Sandra and Joe's campsite provides a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush fruit trees, making it a delightful spot for both solo travelers and families. The property is well-maintained and offers a safe, enclosed space where even pets can roam freely. While most reviews highlight the tranquility and beauty of the location, some mention minor inconveniences like the rough entrance road and occasional noise from neighboring roosters. Overall, it's a recommended stop for those heading to the Keys or exploring nearby natural attractions.

Beautiful and peaceful
Sandra and Joe have a little piece of paradise and we were so happy to spend a couple of nights there. It is an acre and a half, fully enclosed property with a variety of fruit trees. It is really beautiful and peaceful. Our pup loved having free room of the place and even came face to face with a couple of wild peacocks! Joe and Sandra are lovely people and very accommodating. Highly recommend their place!

Was a great time here! They accommodated us and our four dogs. The host stayed on the property beautiful trees all around pretty secluded. No sewer hook ups is the only down fall. Was two other people there the day we got there and then they left the next morning. I would recommend it! Also was able to have a package delivered to the property !

Cool place nestled between farms
Our third Hipcamp experience, and it was great. Unlike our first two where we were the only guest, here we were joined by two other couples. Plenty of room and a beautiful setting with lots of cool tropical trees, cashew, mango, coconut, and many more. We were greeted by an elderly gentleman who spoke little to no English, but he was able to direct us to our spot. We wish we could have met Sandra and Joe, but as hosts ourselves, we understand that sometimes that’s not always possible. We would definitely stay here again if we ever return to south Florida.

This was our second stay and we plan on continuing to use this location for our trips to the keys. The hosts are easy going and the location can’t be beat. Robert is Here fruit stand is 3 minutes away and makes the best smoothies, and access to route 1 to cross into the keys is only about 10 minutes from the campground. I want to give this a 1 star review so people won’t discover my hidden gem, but I couldn’t do that to such a nice place.

Peaceful
This was a peaceful stop for us. Love that it was fenced in in a way so it felt like you were in a little slice of heaven. Grandson was able to run around safely and play. Also our spot had wonderful shading.
We had one issue that was not in the hosts control. The road they are on has an extremely rough entrance. Take it slow when turning onto it.

Wonderful place, well kept, warm welcome. There is a lot of space. It's in the country side, but not far away from groceries and other amenities. We highly recommend this site for a peaceful stay.

Peacock Paradise
Such an unexpected, lush, tropical garden - complete with peacock and exotic plants. Comfortable and easy access to Biscayne and Everglades and Keys. Thankful for places like this while we are traveling. Plus, the iconic fresh produce stand and milkshake extraordinaire shack - Robert is Here - is close by! A must stop!

Great stay
What a beautiful property with all the fruit trees, just amazing. Such a nice set up with picnic tables, water and electric sites available as well. A lot of work has gone into this property and it shows. Highly recommend. Was a great location for us heading to the Keys. Only downside is the steep slope on the road in was tricky but doable in our class C

Hard to sleep
Easy check in, flat site, good instructions.
I personally wouldn’t stay here again as the neighboring roosters start crowing around 1 am and don’t stop until sunup. There also was a neighboring Rv that ran a generator all night, and there were many lights left on all night, so I had a hard time sleeping. Other than that, the location was nice and close to the Everglades, which I thoroughly enjoyed!!!

Glad we stayed
Great place for the night. Nice set up with electricity and water. Fire pit, chairs and picnic table at the sites. No dump station or garbage pick up, but that was fine with us.

The land is really close to the Flamingo Park Entrance, Robert Is Here, and the Winery. The tree with the lights was the start of the show. We had a great time and we'll be staying here again.

Perfect weekend at Gate to the Keys. The entire location was more than we could have expected. Although we didn’t meet our hosts we did meet Jose and Ana and their dog, Mia. We stayed at the Peacock site although any of their sites would have been perfect. Gate to the Keys is quiet and has plenty of shades, tropical fruit trees, fire pits, picnic tables and is located just 40 minutes from KeyLargo. We will return in the summer to continue our conversations with our new friends, Jose and Ana. We highly recommend Gate to the Keys.

A beautiful piece of property with well marked RV spots. 30A electrical, water, with plenty of room between us and the next site. As a bonus, we had a couple of fresh avocados on our picnic table when we arrived!

Sandra and Joe's Hipcamp is very close to the Everglades in an agriculture area. It is quiet, private and very pretty. They have three serviced sites and one unserviced site. There is plenty of shade and include picnic table. I will definitely return for a longer stay if I return to the area.

Great owners!
Stayed 2 nights in the Peacock site after spending 1 night in the Dry Camp site. Fit our 30' TT and truck with no problem. See my full review under the Dry Camp site.

Fresh from paradise
What a surprise camping under 15-20 feet tall avocado trees n having 2 avocados fall on roof of my teardrop camper. No worries or damage plus Joe’s father gave me those avocados & more. I made delicious guacamole for friends in the Keys several times. The best ever!
Now about the host(s) and site. Lovely beautiful &tropical birds in the trees. I saw roosters n a majestic peacock amble by before I could get my iPhone!
Joe is kind & wonderful. His father is as well. I do not speak a bit of Spanish n still with the help of a translator app we communicated easily. I highly recommend the site n hosts.
Know SW 212Ave isn’t paved n entrance is rough with potholes. My teardrop has about 10-12 clearance on rear bumper made it in & out 4 times during my visit to the Keys n return.

Loved it! Great owners
We spent 1 night at the Dry Camp site and then moved to the Peacock site for our next 2 nights because it was a bit humid and I needed to plug in to use my AC. We met Joe and Sandra and they are very nice and welcoming. I enjoyed talking to Joe about the fruits and the area and he let us grab some avacodos before we left. His parents have a house at the back of the property that I probably would have bever noticed if Joe hadn't pointed it out. The Dry camp site had alot of room and was perfectly level where I set up. We love the location because it gave us a chance to get some truck service done and stock up on groceries before heading to the Keys. There can be some morning noise with some of the farms in the area but we sleep with a small fan on and had no issues. Seeing the Peacocks walking through the property was so cool and Joe's lighted tree in the middle was beautiful at night. The entry to the road is a bit of a hill and has some pot holes but if you pick a line a take it slow you will be fine. I had stopped and removed my weight distribution bars to be safe a few blocks out and just went in at a little angle. We loved our 3 days here and would definately stay here again.
