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).

Camping in Windley Key Fossil Reef Geological State Park guide

Overview

About

For campers intrigued by the blend of natural beauty and historical significance, camping near Windley Key Fossil Reef Geological State Park is an enriching experience. This unique park, carved from Key Largo limestone or fossilized coral, tells tales of a bygone era when it played a pivotal role in the construction of Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad, a monumental project of the early 1900s. The land, once sold to the Florida East Coast Railroad, witnessed the extraction of this precious stone, which not only laid the foundation for the railroad but later, as the quarry operations continued till the 1960s, gave birth to the decorative stone known as Keystone. Today, the park invites visitors to journey back in time. Walking alongside the 8-foot-high quarry walls, one can witness the cross sections of ancient coral, a testament to the passage of time and nature's artistry. Remnants of the quarry machinery, preserved within the park, offer a glimpse into the industrious past. Beyond its historical allure, the park is a haven for nature enthusiasts. Five short self-guided trails beckon visitors to explore the island's natural beauty, while picnic tables provide spots for relaxation and reflection. The visitor center, equipped with educational exhibits, further enriches the experience, shedding light on the site's storied past. Situated at Mile Marker 84.9 on Windley Key near Islamorada, this park is a treasure trove for those keen on delving into Florida's rich tapestry of history and nature. Whether you're tracing the outlines of ancient coral or simply soaking in the island's tranquility, the promise of discovery awaits at every corner.
