I wanted an idea of how this place was, so I went online and read reviews. By the time I was done reading so many unfavorable reviews, I was concerned. Unfriendly staff, double booking reservations, turning paid customers away, year round residents with dilapidated mobile homes, and so on.
Our experience. The lady who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. The grounds are very well kept. This is a wonderful Keys experience. Lush, tropical palms, and flowers. It's not just a parking lot with hookups like a lot of the RV resorts are in the Keys. We have a beautiful stone patio right outside our door. We really couldn't ask for a better place to camp for 5 days. We feel right at home. I will add my review to those negative reviews. If you have a 45 foot rig, this place might be tight, but we fit real nice here. Oh and full hookups too!
This may be our new favorite Keys campground! Our site was on the water with a tiki hut and deck—best campsite EVER! We had enough space for our travel trailer that is just under 30’ from tongue to back bumper with two slides. We didn’t use the pool or laundry room, but both looked nice.
The women in the office were very friendly and welcoming. Most of the sites have permanent campers—park models, etc. so it’s very low key. We plan to return with our boat next time.
This campground was a perfect place for our 3 night stay when passing through Key Largo. Our site was quite large (larger than many of the transient sites), and it had quite a bit of natural shade and vegetation. We didn't use any of the amenities as far as the pool, laundry, etc, but we would definitely stay again.
If you like standing water, mosquitoes, unfriendly, no downright rude staff and crazy rules by all means stay here otherwise STAY AWAY!!!! It could be a nice place but for the price there are much better places to stay, and as I said earlier a friendly word from the staff would go a very long way but the girls in the office are downright rude and unhelpful. I should have known when I called on my way in to let them know I would be late, I gave my name and said I had a reservation to which the response was "SO" and then "if you arrive after 10pm there is no way for you to get in." Thankfully we arrived by 9pm and were met by the security guard Eddie, a delightful man the only bright spot and exceedingly nice and helpful, who checked us in. Our site (104) flooded for our entire week stay. The office staff was rude to not only me and my husband but to our guests as well which we had to pay for, just so they could get on our boat and we could leave (SMH)...there are plenty of nicer, friendlier, cleaner, updated places to stay do not waste your time or money. We have been in the keys another three weeks and have had nothing but a wonderful time at our other campground for the same $$$$ BTW the photos are the campers they allow to remain at their campground...These will be your neighbors
I love this place! We were so sad to leave. The resort is so homey and cozy. We are not campers and didn’t know what to expect. The grounds were clean, the front desk staff (Chris and Alba) were welcoming and very helpful and really made our stay more memorable, and the property is GORGEOUS. World class paddling with mangroves and wildlife right from the beach. They have activities which create a sense of community and dogs are welcome. It was QUIET at night. We will definitely return!
