A Guide to Florida Keys Camping!

Camping the Florida Keys Beaches! We're Definitely Not in Kansas Anymore!

If some Florida Keys camping is in your future, let us show you some of our favorite spots. Camping has always been one of our favorite hobbies. Camping on the beaches of South Florida is a far cry from the mountains of the northwest, but truly a must for the camper a heart!

Campgrounds and RV parks are located throughout the Keys. Whether you are going to "rough it" in your favorite tent, or camp in luxury in a motor-home, you can find the experience you are looking for. Many of the campgrounds are pet friendly but do your homework before loading up ole Lucky!

Although it seems like it always rains on vacation, the "Keys" experience much more sunshine than rain! Be ready for rain or shine and you will enjoy your camping adventure much more.

“It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds for the opportunity to rain on a tent.”
- Dave Barry --American writer, b.1947

While camping on the islands, you can usually expect a beautiful sunrise to start the day followed by breakfast with an ocean or bay view. You can spend the day snorkeling, diving, fishing, island hopping, shopping, or just relaxing in a hammock on the beach. You can expect an excellent dinner with another beautiful view followed by one of the most romantic sunsets you can imagine! Keep an eye out for the "green flash".

Campgrounds and RV sites vary in cost and amenities. Some offer all the amenities of home while others offer nothing more than beautiful surroundings, wonderful sunsets, and the rest and relaxation you are looking for.

"Here's a Tip!"

In one 24 hour period, you could encounter sweltering heat, a minor (or major) thunderstorm, no see-ums or mosquitos, and intense sun. Make sure you are rain prepared, have plenty of water, bug spray, food, and spare clothing. Bring a wide brimmed hat and good sun glasses. Just think ahead, be prepared, and enjoy!

Ideas for Your Next "Keys Camping Adventure!

Here are some things I would recommend that you bring with you or purchase locally before you pitch your tent or park your motor-home:

  • Bug Spray
  • Sun screen (high SPF)
  • Hat
  • Long sleeve shirt
  • Long Pants
  • Sunglasses
  • Shoes for the beach (it's not all white sand in the Keys)
  • Camera
  • Lots of extra water
  • Rain gear
  • An awning for shade and/or rain
  • Extra dry clothing in a dry bag
  • More bug spray

However you decide to approach it, camping in the "Keys" is an experience of a lifetime. Whether you just focus on the camping experience or add diving, fishing or the museums to your agenda, your experience will truly be worth writing home about!
