So, here is the deal, im looking to drive my jk from pa to the keys in feb march area, to see some friends that winter on a sailboat down there. Im looking for advice on camping in the keys, right now the most interesting option ive seen is bahia honda state park, they have waterfront tent sites for a reasonable price. Have any of you done this? Am i even going to be able to reserve a site? Are there other better options ive not yet considered?
 
Never been camping down there but I could be talked into a Key West run or we could run you out to the glades on your way through. We can get a few guys together and show you around the swamp a little.
 
Here's some info on camping at Bahia Honda.

CAMPING, FULL FACILITY

There are three different campgrounds in the park: Buttonwood, Sandspur and Bayside.

Buttonwood (sites #1-48) can accommodate a variety of camping rigs from large RVs to small tents. The sites are gravel, making them more suitable for an RV or pop-up. These sites are the largest in the park. They all have electricity, water, a picnic table and grill. The sites on the water have little shade. There is also a restroom with hot showers and a dump station. Waterfront sites are #12-25. #12 and #13 are by the boat docks and #14 is on the channel.

Sandspur (sites #49-72) is located in a hardwood hammock. The sites are small and have low clearance. Tents can fit on all of these sites and a few will accommodate small pop-ups. RVs over 14 feet in length are not permitted in this area. All sites have a picnic table, grill and water. #57-72 sites also have electricity. The waterfront sites in this area are #64-72. There is no dump station in Sandspur. Guests may use the dump station located in Buttonwood.

Bayside (sites #73-80) is the smallest campground with only eight sites. There is a vehicle height restriction of 6 feet 8 inches. Your vehicle must be able to go under the new Bahia Honda Bridge. The sites have a picnic table, grill and water. There is a small restroom nearby with electricity. Visitors are welcome to use the large restroom in the Buttonwood campground, which is one-half mile away.

Pets are welcome, but must be confined, leashed (up to six feet in length) or otherwise under the physical control at all times.

Maximum RV length = 71 ft.

Reservations: Reservations may be made up to 11 months in advance through ReserveAmerica. Book Online or call (800) 326-3521 (8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.) or TDD (888) 433-0287.
