Leo’s Campground was clean, well maintained. It is adorably decorated. You can leave food for the iguanas and cast your kayak from the beach within the campground.Staff was pleasant and helpful. Approximately 3 miles to Key West. Full hookups. Laundry. Recycle cans available. FYI you are one block off a main highway behind a row of stores. There is air traffic noise from the nearby airports . We would recommend and we would definitely return. We chose a premium site to get a bit more room as standard sites are just a bit small. Our site had a white picket fence overlooking the pond and fountain. Proximity to everything in key west was no more than 15 min. Visited week before Thanksgiving. Perfect weather, no crowds.

Denise was the perfect host! She was very responsive, easy to work with and everything was as described. Well, it was more beautiful than the photos represent! We enjoyed the site, it was directly on the canal, with easy access for the boat. The kids enjoyed ping-pong, swimming and riding bikes in a secure /safe environment. We'll definitely be back! Thanks Denise!

Nice spot, great location. Water and electric hookup is key in my camper van. Plenty of space for a camper van with a kayak and bikes on the back

The space is terrific for a nice spot to stay while jumping round the Keys. We’ve been there twice and loved it both times. The facilities and amenities at Venture Out are great as well. Close to a couple really great restaurants and bars including Broil, Square Grouper, Boondocks and Tonio’s. Counting the days until we can return. Denise is easy to work with. Thanks!

Great time and nice resort with more amenities than some other resorts which were at comparable pricing. Pickleball courts to swimming pool available. Also, pool tables, ping pong, sewing classes and much more. Church services are available.
The only negative we experienced was a couple area wide internet outages. All campsites were affected, but internet was still available in the resort’s activity room. .
Enjoy.

This campsite was perfect for what we needed. Safe, clean and centrally located in Sugarloaf Key. Basic campsite with no views but we just drove to where we wanted to go! Last minute trip to the keys and reasonably priced for Key West area!

Leo’s Campground is a great RV park for those looking to stay in Key West without breaking the bank. Our site was a great size for a class B, clean, and convenient place to park with easy access to the island’s attractions. The staff was all amazing. For a small park off a busy road, they've done a great job creating an inviting space. They have murals throughout the park, chairs and firepits set up along the mangrove edges, and an iguana feeding station, which our kids loved!

Overview
About
Discover the breathtaking beauty of Bahia Honda State Park located near Key West in the Florida Keys. The park's long, white-sand beach is one of the archipelago's most prominent attractions and best stretches of sand. Walk on the historic Bahia Honda Rail Bridge for panoramic views of the surrounding islands, and embark on kayaking or snorkeling adventures in crystal-clear waters. Immerse yourself in nature along the park's trails, and visit the science center to learn about the diverse marine life. Or simply relax on the sand and bask in the sun's warm embrace.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for boaters: Little Pebble by the Sea has its own marina.
- Best for solitude: Private Island Near Key West offers camping on a private island with beach access.
- Best for RVs: Venture Out Resort includes water, electricity, and sewer access in their nightly fees.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- You can reserve the park's tent or RV campsites in advance via the Florida State Parks website. Reservations are available year-round.
- Florida residents can make campsite reservations 11 months in advance, while non-residents can make reservations 10 months in advance.
- Reservations tend to fill quickly due to the park's popularity, especially during peak seasons and holidays. Book your campsite as early as possible to ensure availability.
When to go
Bahia Honda State Park is open year-round. The peak season typically falls during the winter months when the weather is mild and ideal for outdoor activities. But if you're craving peace and quiet, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) when the park is less crowded. If you visit during the summer months, stay aware of hurricane season (June to November) and plan accordingly.
Know before you go
- Bahia Honda State Park is about 37 miles from Key West on Big Pine Key and is open 365 days a year from 8am until sundown.
- It's recommended to arrive early on weekends and holidays because the park may close after reaching maximum capacity in its day-use areas. During these temporary closures, arriving visitors will be asked to return later.
- The park offers amenities like restrooms, picnic areas, and a concession stand where you can purchase snacks and drinks, and rent chairs, snorkeling equipment, and kayaks.
- While there are no admission fees for the park, there are fees for parking, camping, and equipment rentals.
