Great state park with the usual professional rangers but there are some important things to note about Long Key SP that one should definitely consider during the summer. Like most state parks during the summer bugs (no seeums, mosquitoes, and horse flies) can be a major problem for some. We found the bugs to be really excessive, but that's what one would expect in a state park in the summer, but just be aware. You need a very long water hose and power cord hookups. Some sites share power and water off the same box, and our site required a 50 foot capability to hookup. If we only had 25 feet, we couldn't have stayed. Dogs are not allowed in the water or on the beach. This is a standard thing I think at most state park's with beaches, but it was a bummer for our Lab to have to look at the water and not go in. The seaweed on the beaches at Florida Keys State Parks in the summer can pile up and smell something awful. When the south breezes blow, the seaweed can literally make beaches unusable sometimes.

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.
