So peaceful and beautiful. Nice little beach. Of course there are weeds and some rocks, it is the Keys. But both of these provide a place for the fish and other aquatic creatures to live. We went snorkeling one day and watched the fish swim under us. We also used our paddle boards to enjoy some of the coast line. Jack and his family are friendly and I thank them for sharing their slice of paradise with us. We will be back in January.

Fantastic RV park right on the water. There was a cute little area by the water with lounge chairs and some tables, we sat nearly every night watching boats go by and the sun go down. Directions to get there were very easy to follow, check in was a breeze, the park and facilities were well maintained and clean. Staff were easy to find and helpful.

A gem of a HipCamp that is a perfect stop before heading to the Keys. Really enjoyed a quick overnight stay. The site itself is secluded and really great looking. The only issues are a little tight entry gate for any longer RVs. There was also some noice from a next door property in the morning, but I would definitely say not the fault of the host.
Last thing is road right outside the property is not the best maintained gravel road, but it is ok if you go slow, and only a couple of hundred feet from the Main Street to the property.

This property was very peaceful and calming. I was able to put my kayak on the private beach and go out at my leisure. Fish on the private dock. And my campsite was rather private with nice lights and a beautiful fire ring. I also felt secure with the closed gate. I couldn't have asked for a better getaway.

Sandra and Joe were great! Sandra was quick to respond to messages. They were very understanding when we had RV issues and had to arrive after dark. Joe came out and helped with the gate and letting us know where to park. The grounds were beautiful. Our dog was very welcome there. Definitely would recommend them to anyone looking for a peaceful place to stay.

I am an eagle scout and I've been camping many places but so far I believe that this has the most bang for your buck. Amazing bathrooms, nice beach, smooth roads, nice lots. Close to john pennekamp state park and close to a publix for supplies. It was my first time in the keys but it won't be my last.
I did have a bit of a hard time with a hammock especially since I like to cool down outside of the tent but most lots from what I have seen had atleast a couple trees and I was able to tie up to my truck bed for my hammock. Keep in mind there are some street lights at night that illuminate the road but may keep you up if you need total darkness, but otherwise wonderful spot. Close to the cut and early morning fishing yields results there

We have been camping at Long Key for 30 years. It is so awesome being right at the beach! It's right in the middle of the Keys so you can go either way to find lots of things to do or stay right there relaxing at your campsite. Unfortunately they are closed for renovations right now. :(

Really beautiful campground! We got a site right on the water. There isn't a ton of shade during the day, so be prepared. Each site has water, and the bathrooms and showers were really clean. There's a short hike, but otherwise you'll want to make sure you brought something to do, like a kayak or SUP. There are some stores driving distance away. A very relaxing spot!

Try and nab the higher number sites. They are generally bigger than the tent sites and there is more white sandy areas out in the water oppose to a reefy bottom.
