Campground seems to be under new management. Staff is not very friendly. We called before going to the campground and asked the following questions. 1. Do they have a pool? They said that they just put in an olympic size pool. There was no pool there. 2. We asked about the marina and if they rented boats. They did not rent boats there but was told that they did. 3. We asked if they had wireless internet. We were told there was free wireless internet access onsite. Also on their internet site ( which is no longer up ) it states they have a grocery store. Well not entirely true, they do not even carry bread or milk. I traveled there in a 40' Holiday Rambler Diesel pusher. It took me forever to get to my site (narrow roads with cars and bikes parked all over it ). Then I had to back into a spot (we opted for beach front) and that took even longer. We travel to Florida all the time and this is the worst experience we have yet to encounter. If you complain to them they just say they are training new staff. There is wireless internet there but no one knew how to access it or where to get a card for user name and password. My wife and I were traveling with four kids. If we could have gotten our money back we would have left the first day and went on down to Sugarload KOA in Key west. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Outstanding park. Some of the nicest people we have ever met. They turned out to help everyone. The employees were also great. Sites are nicely shades and about 35' wide but short. A 40' rig would be a squeeze. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here in high season without reservations and had to take the most expensive waterside site. We checked in at 2pm and had to wait until 7pm for our site because the party in it was using the beach and did not wish to leave. The management gave us a site near the dumpster "to wait in until they leave, we really can't do anything about it." The campground itself is very crowded, dense with vegetation and seems to be a community on its own. Every night there is a BYOB cocktail gathering at the nice beach. There were a lot of quite old vehicles of different types (old VW bus with tents attached, etc.) but the vegetation was good cover. Looks like a lot of people return year after year. The beach is very nice sand and water and good sized. Nice little snack bar/bar and dock. Considering how few beaches there are like this in the Keys that have a campground on them at any price, it's hard to complain. It certainly beats the KOA Fiesta Key by a mile. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice park and there were no mosquitoes. Staff was very pleasant. In fact, we stayed here twice on our holiday. We would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

These are privately owned sites that are rented. Mostly permanents. We requested oceanfront and paid $110 per night over Christmas holidays. Trust me the only sites to have are ocean front because the rest are small. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The very first campground you see when going south on Highway 1, and enter Key Largo. We found it to be a good value for Florida in the height of the season. Grassy sites among large shade trees, very nice pool and spa area, and terrific people in the office. CG has its own large pond for fishing. The sewer hookup in our site was a little strange as it was elevated, but we saw lots of others that were okay. Even though close to the highway, it was fairly quiet because of all the trees. Would definitely stay here again -- especially since it was half the price of other campgrounds in the rest of the Florida Keys! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Price was tolerable for Florida Keys (extra $5 per child) but park shows its age and general lack of attention. Hook ups were awkward to unreachable in most sites (we walked nearly all sites to find one where sewer, water and electric hookups could be reached from our 2006 38' Itasca - not many candidates). Electric boxes are in state of partially completed upgrading. Pool and jacuzzi look newer and were nice, although lots of huge millipedes in spa and on pool deck. Bathrooms poorly kept up and one crawling with millipedes. Lots of racoons in trash bins. Location, people and open grassy, treed sites are the pros. Age, hook up funtional obsolescence and restroom-shower cleanliness were the cons. Would not stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

When we pulled in late morning the front doors were chained with a padlock! They were in the office. The place has been through a hurricane in the last couple of months, and has not recovered. The laundry facility was riddled with rusted old machines that were $2 per machine per load! The only redeeming quality was that they just finished re-wiring the 50 amp service so as long as we didn't leave the motorhome we were OK. Certainly not worth the fee. It appeared that there were lots of abandoned trailers in the park, which was of concern to us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Location and price combine to make this an excellent choice for the Florida Keys. The sites we chose had enough room for 2 35ft motorhomes with slides on both sides to open and put out the awnings. We chose the campground because it is at the base of the Keys, and to enjoy the coral reef. It was incredibly convenient to walk to the snorkel tour and glass bottom boat tour. The coral reef tour is a must see. Since this is one of the few places to visit a Coral Reef in the continental US, please take advantage of it. The showers were clean and washers and dryers were located at the bath house. There were two young men using their computers while doing laundry. Besides the snorkel tours, you can boat,kayak, dive or swim at the park. So if you like watersports this is a great spot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pennekamp is a fantastic park if you enjoy water sports are aren't looking for a RV resort type place. This is a State Park not an resort. With that being said..what a great place with so many activities to keep you busy. We camped here for 4 days and are looking forward to returning. Sites are deep and not all that wide but still plenty of room. The park is close to all your needs. Pubs,places to eat and shopping/supplies. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful park and facilities except for the camping area. The campsites are on dirty dusty roads, everytime a vehicle goes by your in a cloud of dust. I was on the main road in the camping area. For such a nice park they should have planned the camping area better. I was booked for 5 nights and left after 1. Went next door to Key Largo Kampground and Marina which is my usual place to stay in Key Largo. We camped here in a Motorhome.
