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.

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.

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.
