About six of the sites were directly adjacent to the beach; others are close by. It was good swimming beach. Kayaks are available to rent and there is some beautiful kayaking through the mangroves nearby. There are some hiking trails across US highway 1 that are part of this park. Only downside is there is no shade. Restrooms and bathhouses were always clean and were close to the sites which are arranged in a circle around the bathhouse and restrooms. We camped here in a Motorhome.

First let me tell you that this campground was very clean. They claim ocean front, but you are actually several hundred yards from the ocean and separated by dunes covered in shrubs. You are not allowed to walk on these shrubs and have to walk a good ways to find the beach access. Once you arrive at the beach you will find the shore covered in dead grass. If you dare cross the grass you enter the sea,the bottom of which is covered in slimy, slick, grass. They have kayaks, but they are way overpriced. There really is no place to fish. The snorkeling is pretty non-existent. The bathrooms are clean, but have no air and are "composting toilets". It is the out- house principle and they stink. I would not recommend this park unless you like watching the grass grow. I also would like to mention that their is no store in the park, so bring it with you when you come! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great little park! We were camped on the water and enjoyed the view and kayaking. Close to Marathon so shopping was convenient. We travel in a motorhome and had a nice "L" shaped site, large and all pebbled, no sand. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a beautiful well maintained Florida State Park. It is not very big so getting a site here will take some early planning. We just managed one night on our way out of the Keys. The restroom facilities are clean and new and the maintenance is top notch. The views from nearly all the sites is terrific. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Probably the prettiest park that we've ever stayed in. The camp hosts are so friendly that the park seems like one big happy family. The bath house was great, clean and large. Kayak rental and fishing was super fun! Hope we can come back sometime soon. Marathon is a short drive with plenty of stores and restaurants. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Curry Hammock – listed as Marathon – 28 sites We stayed at Curry Hammock State Park for just one night and it is delightful. We had a water site. The park is clean and they imported a lot of white sand for this summer. Our site was just a walk away from the ocean and there are some trees there for shade in parts of the park. Bathrooms are clean but the toilets are upgrade pits but there are showers. This park has only been open for about 4 to 5 years but always closed after Memorial Day until November but this year they are staying open all summer. It did not show on the computer yet so if you want to go during this summer call for now. We did have reservations the second weekend in May but there were still sites available. There are over 1000 acres and there are thatch palms where the white-crowned pigeon finds his habitat. Two miles of the Overseas Railroad trail for hiking and biking to Marathon goes through the park. It’s a great place to kayak and canoe. We did snorkel but I can’t say it was as good as Bahia Honda. Plan to return – very peaceful with a nice breeze even on a hot day. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Absolutely the best volunteer hosts in the Florida State Park System. Sites are spotless upon check-in as are the restrooms and showers. The beach was recently recontured to better attract nesting sea turtles but in the process providing a more natural looking beach. New in 2008 is the park now being open 365 days a year (previously closed in the summer). Very reasonable kayak rentals from he rangers office. Curry Hammock was completed replanted with native plants and trees only some 3 years ago so there is NO shade. Camping in the summer, while available. may well be uncomfortable in the afternoon unless you have very good air conditioning. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park and facilities are spotless. Sites were large and level. Many of them have an "extension" giving you a large bonus area for your picnic table or whatever. The camp hosts rake the pea gravel as guests leave in preparation for the new arrivals. Fishing was good and kayaking was fun. Access to the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail for bicycling or walking is just across the highway. It was a little dicey walking our bikes across, but we waited for an absolute clearing in both directions and crossed safely. Grocery stores (Winn-Dixie and Publix) and shopping (K-Mart) are about 5 miles south. The "no-see-ums" will bother you and bug spray is recommended. Although there was no shade, the 50 amp electric allowed us to use our air conditioners when necessary. The camp hosts were friendly. We loved this park and will look forward to staying here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We spent 2 weeks here. This the best maintained park we have been in. We did not have a water front site but had a good view of the water. Great place to kayak from. Good hiking and bike trails. No pull through site but very easy to back into. No WiFi but Verizon phone worked well. Wish they had sewer hookups. Not a problem if you are only here for a couple days. We will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A beautiful state park. Easy drive down to it even with a 40' MH. Sites are large back-ins. No sewer but a dump which is easy to get to. Ocean right at your finger tips or toe tips. Will come back for sure. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Absolutely beautiful state-park campground. Easy to maneuver back-in sites with ample space for our 40' rig, and 50amp throughout. We were in site #16 which was ocean-front and I MEAN ocean-front. You are literally 10 steps from the beach. The beach is primarily crushed shells, so it's a little rough on your feet. And yes, there is sea-grass, however this is prime bonefish area, so you can swim over 100 yds out and it's still 4' or shallower. We swam and snorkeled. Bring your blow-up raft or kayak as there's an island within paddling distance. The showers and bathrooms were spotless and odor-free. All-together a really lovely area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We lucked out and were able to get a 2 night reservation here at the last minute. This is a great campground. Located right on the water and within easy driving distance of Marathon. As previous reviewers have stated there is no shade - yet. This campground was built in 2004 and planted with all native vegetation which is doing well but still growing. The ocean was right out our door, not really a swimming beach as is full of sea grass but very nice to look at. We had no problem getting our coach - 41 feet - into our site and we could have fit in almost any site within the campground. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an awesome place to camp. While there are not any trees at the campsites, this was not a problem as there is a constant ocean breeze that blows, we did not need to use the air conditioner during our stay. It is a small campground, it is very quiet, and it is immaculately clean. This is a rare find in the keys, there is a small beach and several picnic tables located right on the beach. Some campsites are located right next to the beach, those do not have the larger side sand areas for tent use, but again you are right next to the beach. The State of Florida did an excellent job in the design of this small campground. All sites have a gravel base, even though I had a site literally 15 feet from the beach, I did not have sand issues in my camper. There are not any sewer sites but you can use a blue tote and go to the dump station. The bathhouse is centrally located and easily accessible to all campsites. The water pressure is a bit low for showers, but again you are in the Florida Keys and fresh water is a precious item here. The bathroom does not have flush toilets, but it does have an elaborate water treatment recycling system built in and odor was never a problem in the bathhouse (I still rate this campground a 10). Sunrise on the beach is an incredible site. Pets are allowed, but they are restricted to certain areas and this is strictly enforced. Although this is a small campground (28 sites), there were 3 park hosts so there is someone watching over the campground at all times, and the Florida Park Rangers also make frequent rounds here. This may account for the reasons that this is such a quiet, clean place to camp. There is a day use area right next to the campground that has a very nice large playground for children and covered picnic tables for families. Several people were camping in tents. Many of the non-ocean front sites have a larger sand area which is a great place to pitch a tent, I did see several that camped in a tent on the ocean front gravel sites also. The location of this campground is perfect. You are about halfway down the keys, so it is about 50 miles to Key West and about 50 miles to Key Largo, so everything is easily accessible to you. This campground rates a perfect 10. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This State Park is one of Florida's newest campgrounds, it is a rather small campground offering only 28 sites. But all the sites are extra large and they all offer a view of the ocean if you are not lucky enough to get an oceanfront site. All the facilities are very clean and up to date. The park offers a small beach, swimming area and a play ground for the children. There is unlimited biking and walking due to the Over Seas Highway biking/walking trail route which is directly across the street from the park entrance. We had a great time fishing and kayaking right off the campground beach. If there are any drawbacks to this park it is that there are no shade trees in sight, but this was no problem the time of year that we were there (January). I imagine it would be another story in the dead of summer. And remember down on the Keys fresh water is a precious item, so they do seem to have some form of flow restrictors on the shower heads...not a lot of pressure. Overall this is a wonderful park and remember if you plan to visit in the winter months, you will need to book it way in advance,. It is hard to get a site, like all the parks in the Keys.... We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice park. Large,level sites. Beautiful view of the ocean. Our site was about 50ft. from the beach. Just beautiful. Large nice,clean bathhouse. Very nice day use area with playground. We had great weather in December. Close to 80 everyday. The cg had a security gate. We will definitely try to stay here again when we return to the keys. Only reason for the 9 is no sewer and no laundry. However, we will compromise for this view! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Place is small and gravel is the size of golf balls. However, very clean and the management is nice. Man made beach area on the gulf side but no access to water. Good place to stay if you're pulling a boat. Activities at the little clubhouse were well attended. Pool was little but nice. Location is fine. Very close to Curry Hammock and about 1-1/2 hrs. to Key West. Plenty of shopping within 10 miles. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here for two weeks in February 2010. Weather was unseasonably cold so we were not able to use the pool, beach etc except 2-3 times. Beautiful new park for self contained units only. Park managers screen potential guests so there are no problems with junky units or questionable guests. About half of the guests were there for several month blocks. Not a cheap place to stay but nothing in the Keys is cheap. You get what you pay for and GKRV delivers. Would like to go back in a couple of years but doubt if it will be affordable by then. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Price reflects weekly rate. Small campground with rock sites and roads, pretty tight spacing. There's a busy, noisy road right outside. Park is kept neat and immaculate. Small pool area is very nice and clean. Nice marina and gathering area with a Tiki on the bay. Free Wi-Fi and cable TV. We would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is at mile marker 58.7 on highway 1 in the Florida Keys. Our $112 rate for one night includes high season and a waterfront premium site. I put $99 in the nightly rate because it will not accommodate more than 2 digits. There were no baths, showers, and nor a place to walk the dog. Pets are allowed, but not on the docks. The driveways and sites are all coarse very well kept gravel. There are no grassy areas at Grassy Key. The bay, docks, pelicans, water and palms are beautiful. Cable TV is excellent with an abundance of channels. The hook ups are in excellent condition. The Wi-Fi response was excellent from our site. You really need a vehicle to travel to any shopping or restaurants. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very clean park, staff is wonderful. Also very small, cramped, and perfect if you are elderly. I wondered when I was watching the webcam before we came here, why I never saw anyone moving around. It's because it is a resort for older people who are basically inactive. It is very quiet there, so if you are aging and want an "over 55 park" this is your place. I just felt like I had checked into a retirement home, or care facility. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for a month in October so the daily rate actually reflects the discount for a month stay, not counting the extra charge for electricity. This was the cleanest park in the Keys we have ever stayed in. The park managers made it an even more enjoyable stay. The pool was immaculate; the marina and all sites beautifully maintained. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very clean and well kept campground. The sites are very spacious and there is plenty of room for slides. The hosts are very accommodating. We are looking forward to coming back in December. The view is beautiful. We were in a different campground at milepost 70 and did not like it so we moved here. We would have given it a ten if there were baths, showers, and a place to walk the dogs. But we will return. Very convenient area to see the Keys. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Honestly this is a model campground. It is the best place we have been in the Keys. The place is super clean and professionally organized. The new pool is great with chilled water at the perfect temperature. The waterfront sites have great views of the bay and are worth every penny. We look forward to many returns. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have been to Grassy Key RV 3 times and it just keeps getting better. The host are friendly and very helpful. If there is a negative it is close to the highway and noise. It is located at approximately mile marker 57. If you are driving south it is easy to miss as the sign is behind a tree so slow down as you get near the mile marker. Very clean with a small marina. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park if you want to relax. The park has gone through some major renovations so if you were there prior to last year and didn't like it you may want to take a look and try again. The staff in the park is very friendly and accommodating. Sites are good size and the hookups are in ok condition. Maintenance is quick to respond to issues. Dog walk area not very good so that is why they didn't get a 10 otherwise they would. We needed a rental car and the staff was more than willing to drive us to the airport to pick it up, unusual in most parks. The park is very clean and the pool can't be beat with the salt water system instead of using chemicals. Access in and out of the park was good; the staff will direct you into and out of the site and make sure everything is ok with you. There are docks on-site so if you have a boat this is a great place. There are issues with the free Wi-Fi as you can’t keep the connection going from most of the park. If you need to get on-line your best to go to the club house where the signal is a little better and it is free. There is gravel throughout the park with new plants between sites that in time should give some privacy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved that this park had vegetation and trees. Many we saw in the Keys looked like desert sites: all sand and gravel, no shade. This park also had a very attractive waterfront area. Marathon is a good location for visiting, since Key West and Key Largo are each about an hour's drive. We would definitely consider staying again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I just spent a week here in early March 2010 and had a seawall campsite. The weather was poor (high winds and cool), so I really did not get a chance to enjoy the waterfront (gulf side) but it would have been lovely. The staff was attentive to the area, very friendly and assisted you to your campsite. The wind, tides and waves splash water and sea grass up on the seawall AND onto the RVs, but the staff was quick to clear it off with a tractor. Since it was so windy and cool, I did find a public beach down the road on the ocean side. The sites off the water were much more protected, and if I were to go again, I would opt for those. The laundry was clean but more dryers were out of order than working. Now the reason I will not return: the showers! I think that paying $77 a night should warrant a shower. The setup for these is ridiculous since you have to pull a chain to make the water come out with no control over temperature. I totally understand the need to conserve water, but this makes no sense at all. Since the sites all have sewer connections there is nothing to prevent people from having long hot showers inside their rigs. It really inconveniences those of us who travel in smaller units (mine is a Class B camper van) and I believe I paid enough to have a decent shower! To me it is unacceptable and until they rectify that, I won't return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed here several times. It is one of the few parks in the Keys that accepts Passport in the winter. Free Wi-Fi, a plus. Staff very friendly. Location is halfway between Key Largo and Key West, so very convenient for exploring the Keys. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There is nothing to write home about with this park. Very pricey for what you get. This park has markings of an old trailer park. With some work, this could be a very nice park. They are working on some improvements with the common areas down by the water. The laundry room needs some TLC quickly. We will not stay here again unless they make some major improvements. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here on our PA rate so they parked us close to the road, but we were glad they did because winds were high (coldest winter in 25 years, too), and the folks along the ocean took a beating. Sites are very closely packed, but most have concrete pads (ours did), and are clean and well maintained. They're obviously designed for big motorhomes - we had to get an extra water hose to reach all the way back to the spigot, and it felt like camping in the city - skyscrapers all around us with the rigs. The sun went down early! But the people were very friendly, and they gave us more assistance parking than any other place I've been. I didn't NEED the help, but the guy knew the spot already and got us spot-on to the ideal location. That's a nice touch. Each site has a picnic table, although it's considerably smaller than the ones you find in state parks. Like some other reviewers have commented, I did get that occasional sewer smell. No idea - the whole island chain is only feet above sea level. There could be dozens of reasons for it. We put up with it. Laundry facilities were large and we were glad to have them, although they were somewhat more expensive quarter-wise than we've spent elsewhere. Everything in the keys is more expensive, so this didn't feel excessively out of line. We did notice a lot of dogs when we came. The owners were better than most, but it's still an annoyance to have a child napping and a dog yipping away, especially with the sites so closely packed together. Dogs aren't the campground's fault, they're the owners', but as I said - close proximity in this park may test your patience if you're unlucky enough to be next to a yippy-dog owner. Wi-Fi service was... acceptable, and it was free so we got what we paid for. They don't have much bandwidth, so during off-times it works great, but when the other campers all get online after it gets dark, it slows to a trickle. We ended up using our mobile broadband card much of the time. They were experimenting with a new service when we arrived - they had a propane vendor come on site, with a sign-up sheet to get your tanks filled. This is a great idea, and I hope they continue it. During the summer we don't use it much, but in winter camping we go through it like crazy, and I travel with extra spare tanks. As it turned out, we ended up not getting our tanks filled from the vendor, because they charged a delivery fee. That seemed out of line to me, since they were apparently charging everybody the same fee, and their truck was already on site. The delivery fee on top of filling my little 20lb tanks would have doubled the price. The delivery guy was at least kind enough to mention this himself, and suggest that I take my tanks to their filling station in town. But still, if I had had 30s or larger on there, I would REALLY have appreciated this service - I hope Jolly Roger keeps it up. I don't understand why more campgrounds don't do that. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate reflects PA rate including taxes. We stayed here 5 nights near the road which is where PA members are parked. No worries for us we were pleased to have the PA rate at this time of year for 5 days. The staff were friendly and efficient. The park is dated but apparently changes are in the works. It is almost exactly halfway between Key Largo and Key West so very convenient for exploring the Keys. Sites are tight but have concrete pads so your rig stays clean. Seawall is nice to walk along or sit on to view the sunset. Water pressure is very low so fill your tanks if you want a decent shower. The Wi-Fi and cable TV worked really well and the pot luck on Friday night was fun. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We checked into this park and they were fumigating their bathrooms and small hotel complex so can not comment on them. We were there on the passport america rate so they put us in a spot close to the road instead of the waterfront even though park was mostly empty. There was Night work going on on the road so I was a little unhappy but figured arguing with management would get me no where so I let it go. The Park was pretty clean we would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice campground. Friendly helpful staff. The only negative is the showers. The mens requires pushing a button every 30 seconds and the womens requires holding a chain down to get water. No control on temperature. Good waterfront location with a nice dock and some snorkeling. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a tough park to review. Mostly everything in the FL Keys is quite expensive except the state park campgrounds (which you need to reserve a spot 11 months in advance to get into the state parks in the keys). Jolly Roger is probably a "best buy" @ $56/day ($65 for an "interior plus" site, pay for 6 days and get the 7th day free). However there is a state/local sales tax of 11.5% which makes the final price $62/day. They also have much less desirable (close to US-1) Passport America sites at better rates. 50 amp electric, sewer, cable and Wi-Fi seemed to work OK. When we arrived, the park had a strong malodorous smell of rotting seaweed (sulfur smell). We had to keep our rig "sealed up" with all windows and vents closed to help reduce the awful smell. A cold front had just passed and winds were strong from the north, pushing the sea grasses up and over the seawall bulkhead and filling into the boat ramp. In some places the sea grass had piled up several feet high. Once the winds subsided, I ask the management when they were going to take care of the problem. After some terse discussion, I suggested they get a "front-end loader" and dumpster to remove the rotting seaweed. Apparently, they had complaints from others as well and eventually did clean up the mess (and the associated odor). Water pressure was very low. We needed to fill our tank and use our water pump during our stay. Our site had previously been a permanent site and the sewer connection was located underneath our chassis, making our sewer hookup difficult and dirty. Also they put us next to a derelict trailer, missing an axle being held up with a bottle jack and no apparent repairs were being performed. Quite a bit of "sprucing up" of the park still needs to done. That being said, I believe the new management is really trying to turn this campground around and would give them a try again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very friendly and accommodating. We had major truck problems and they allowed us to delay our arrival not once but twice. The sites were tight but manageable; the traffic from the road was loud as we were near the office (which made for good wifi!). Clean laundry area. Interesting waterfront area for sitting. Passport rates honored at this time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park is fine. Shady. Friendly group of campers that seem to party a lot. Dog friendly, and there is an actual dog beach nearby. We don't use bathhouses so can't comment. Biggest problem, as noted by others, is the WiFi. They claimed they had just put in a revamped system, but if so they need to try again. Very weak, really not usable except up near the office where there is little comfortable place to sit anyway. If this is important to you, ask hard questions before booking/selecting site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is one of the shadier campgrounds in the Keys. Many of the other campers were really friendly, and it's a dog-friendly place. There is no beach but you can drive or bike 3 miles to Curry Hammock State Park to get to one. You can boat or fish or swim (if you have aqua shoes) right at the campground. There was a big sign in the bathrooms that said they were for "campers and tenters without their own facilities," which we ignored. The bathrooms were old, with shower curtains on the toilet stalls as well as the showers. The showers in the woman's room had pull chains to run the water--when you let go, the water stopped. Not a problem if it's warm out. The faucets had sort of lukewarm water and were push button. The Wi-Fi works near the office. Our daughter, 12, was $5 extra per night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park, friendly staff, friendly people in the park. No permanent mobile homes. We had a water view and it was a large site. Most sites have plenty of room. Nice quiet area, dog friendly, good roads, easy in and out. Would definitely stay here again. Only drawbacks would be the sandspurs and the Wi-Fi didn't work at all sites. It worked for a while then quit. They didn't get it fixed while we were there but you could go to a site closer to the office and it would work. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice campground in the middle Keys. We stayed there just before the "prime season". The cost was $20 per night with 50% off PA rate. This could not be beat for the area. The cost does go up in December. Mgmt was both friendly and helpful. We are making arrangements to go there again next year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed four nights. Great, clean, friendly and very helpful. Need Wi-Fi on sites, was only at office. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an older campground that used to be a Mobile Home Park but after a hurricane wiped it clean they made it an RV park only. You will not find pads for the RV to sit on and some sites are not very level but the friendly staff and great location make up for it. The park overlooks the Gulf and you can walk the sea wall at night looking for lobster. The snorkel area is fun and the park has activities that help you meet your neighbors. I will come back next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

RV Parks in the Florida Keys are extremely expensive, especially during season, and this is actually one of the more reasonably-priced ones. We decided to splurge for this month and got a really nice spot with a view of the Gulf of Mexico out the big back window of our fifth wheel. The park has lots of trees and grass and most of the sites are quite spacious. Marathon is about midway in the Keys, so you have the opportunity to go either west to Key West or east to Islamorada and Key Largo, although it’s still quite a distance either way. The staff here is extremely friendly and helpful, and they have a few activities such as potlucks and free hot dogs for lunch on Fridays. They advertise wi-fi, but only within a short distance from the office. Maybe the number of RVers constantly gathered at the picnic tables around the office with their laptops will eventually convince them they need to add some booster antennas. The laundry was busy almost continuously, with 4 washers and 4 working dryers (out of 8 total dryers). Maybe that was because of the extremely low water pressure (it took half an hour just to fill the washer tub). In fact the water pressure was so low in the entire park that we just kept our water pump on all the time. But it was fun watching the pelicans gather around the fish-cleaning station whenever someone came with their catch. And every night several of the campers would gather at the edge of the water to watch the sunset, a Keys tradition. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a neatly kept place with spacious, shaded, and grassy sites. Originally a mobile home park, it is now purely an RV campground. The docks, marina, and swimming/scuba areas are nice features, and the staff are friendly. We liked it so much we extended our stay by a day. We paid the Passport America rate for full hook-ups, which was a great bargain for the Florida Keys! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Good central location to swimming, beach, fishing and Key West. Very quiet. Lots of space. Great sunsets. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We went to this campground intending to stay two weeks and ended up staying six weeks. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The sites are large. We were able to keep our trailer on site with us. They helped us find a propane delivery service. The water pressure was low, but we got used to it. The guests gather by the pier in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset. They are very pet friendly and have a bark park that was close to our site. We enjoyed this travel park and we're looking forward to our next visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

In the process of upgrading. Some maneuvering to park but there is assistance. Boat ramp and small harbor: for an additional $300 per month. We will have been here over 2 months. Nice seawall for lobster watching. About 4 miles north of Marathon proper and grocery stores. You really need a toad to get around. Kayaks available. Swimming at the seawall, it's shallow and safe for snorkeling. Wi-Fi at the office only. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is OK but nothing special. It's worn and needs attention -- cement and tiles are broken, most dryers don't work, and in general the infrastructure is crumbling -- although there are some signs of work being done. We did enjoy watching fish off the seawall. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pros = location mid-point in Florida keys, staff helpfulness, functional and well located hook ups. Cons = bad odor on waterfront (vegetation at low tide), tight roads and spaces for large rigs (cars on edge of roads by necessity). Nothing special for amenities. Given limited space in the Keys, probably fair value for what you get. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There is a lingering odor near the park. It always smelled like sewage, especially if the wind was blowing in your direction. No sewers in the park. Not the best park we have ever visited. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for one week, so pricing reflects the weekly rate. Park was clean and well-maintained and staff friendly. WiFi available from a private vendor on-site, but only on a seasonal basis. A bit pricey at $25 per week and coverage was somewhat limited based on his single antenna. A big plus for this park was proximity to the services of Marathon and the fact that it costs quite a bit less than those in Key West. The three negatives were that there was a huge amount of dogs, hence a lot of barking, an occasional smell of raw sewage (whether this sewage smell was from a stagnant pond nearby or human waste, I couldn't say. We did notice a similar smell while passing several other RV parks in the Keys), and that fact that there were no sewer hookups, necessitating a $9 per dump charge (unless you want to unhook everything and drive to the on site dump). We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed oceanside 2001 and 2002, opted to not make reservations and took chance they would have a site in January for us. We had the infield site in 2003, less expensive, easier to set up with less rock. The campground is fabulous! Sites are roomy, seasonals and transients all seem to be happy and enjoy chatting with everyone. The Tiki Bar on their little Sunset Beach is a fun gathering place to watch the awesome sunsets. The staff is really nice and although there are no sewer connections, for $8 or $9 the mobile tank will come and pump you out whenever you need to. It is a laid back campground, catering to boaters with a marina, fishing, sightseeing, etc. The 7 Mile Bridge is very nearby for biking or walking to little Pigeon Key Museum. The place is great and more wide open then the KOA up the road. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is an awesome CG with camping friends that have been returning for about 25+ years. It is not cheap, but because of the location at mile marker 47 on US Rte. 1, it demands it. Go there for a month, set up your satelite dish and relax in the sun. Marathon is one of the best locations for good restaurants, shopping and things to do. The rates are reasonable if you pay up front for 3 months and that will get you a waterfront site too. Pay $9/week to get pumped out...it is a deal. It is a vacation spot I will never, ever forget. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
