The most beautiful resort we've been to. We stayed in lot 65 and I think it was one of the best. Close to the dog walk and on the ocean. A concrete slab and fantastic tiki hut with a wetbar. All waterfront sites have their own dock which allowed for non-stop fishing. I've heard others complain about the cost. At $108.00 per night, it isn't cheap, but it is the Keys! Nothing is cheap. While we were there, we drove through Boyds and the Sugarloaf KOA. Do yourself a favor and skip these. We used to stay at Sugarloaf and it has really gone downhill. Bluewater Key is lush, tropical, clean and very close to Key West at mile marker 14.4. One day home and I'm already homesick for Bluewater! Fantastic!!

If your on vacation and looking for a "Disney" style RV resort, look no further that River Ranch. It was a bit too pretentious for my taste but once you get over the fakeness, it was actually quite enjoyable. We stayed on a site on the canal. Each site has its own dock which is wonderful. There isn't any shade on these sites so I would probably avoid them during the summer months. We biked through the other sites (phase 3) and this is probably my favorite. Heavily shaded with beautiful old oak trees. Some lots even had hot tubs. Just gorgeous. River Ranch has the tourist attractions from their idea of a rodeo to a "hay ride" through the park. This resort is located in the middle of the state with nothing nearby so come prepared. We will probably give River Ranch another try but there are many other resorts which are calling first.

After purchasing our 1st travel trailer (older model), we chose Manatee Hammock for our maiden voyage. Yes the sites are tight and my husband almost took off the side of the trailer before we were at our site but I like the trees and vegetation. Just take it slow. Manatee is on the Intercoastal with a spectacular view of Nasa's VAB building. If you are lucky enough to witness a launch, this is the campground to book! The reason we bought our trailer is because we have dogs. Manatee Hammock is a dog lovers paradise! I would have sworn there was a Shih Tzu convention in town. Fantastic. OK, the details.. The campground is located on US1. There really isn't much around other than NASA. Your close to Playa Linda beach (best beach on the Atlantic). They have a nice lighted fishing pier. All the campers were very friendly. This is a small County park and I prefer this to the "resorts" that make those of us in travel trailers feel inferior. My parents stayed here in their big rig and I don't know how they got it in. It made me a nervous wreck. If your looking for a quiet, friendly CAMPGROUND, I would suggest Manatee Hammock. The only reason I'm not rating it higher is we didn't use the facilities.
