How many RV parks are there in the Florida Keys? Until I began researching, I had no idea that there are 23 RV Parks in the Florida Keys! Not all of them can accommodate large Class A RVs like ours, but at least 14 of them can and they are spread out throughout the 113-mile long island chain.
RV Parks in the Florida Keys
Read on to find out about all the RV Parks in the Florida Keys and begin planning your next RV adventure to the islands of the Sunshine State.
There are 23 RV Parks in the Florida Keys are spread out throughout the 123 miles of islands. The islands are split into 3 regions- the Upper Florida Keys (closest to Miami), the Middle Florida Keys (about halfway down to Key West), and the Lower Florida Keys (Key West area which is as far south in the US as you can go).
- 5 RV Parks in the Florida Keys– Upper Keys
- 6 RV Parks in the Florida Keys- Middle Keys
- 12 RV Parks in the Florida Keys– Lower Keys
The Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean RV Parks in the Florida Keys have it all!
The Florida Keys offers something for everyone who enjoys water sports. Since Florida is a peninsula, there is water on both sides of the state. The Gulf of Mexico is on the West side of the state and the Atlantic Ocean is on the East side of the state. This means you can sportfish in the Atlantic Ocean in the morning and kayak in the Gulf of Mexico in the afternoon.
Scuba diving enthusiasts rate the Florida Keys as amongst some of the best scuba diving in the United States. You can book a scuba diving trip with a guide or rent a boat and explore on your own.

Driving Tips for Finding Places in the Florida Keys- What Are Mile Markers?
There is only one road in and out of the Florida Keys – US 1 and it ends at the southernmost point of the United States in Key West. There are mile marker signs on the side of the road counting the miles down as you drive south beginning at mile marker 112 in the Upper Florida Keys (Key Largo), and ending in zero in Key West. Directions will often include the mile marker and whether a property is ocean-side (on your left as you drive south) or bay-side (on your right as you drive south). To help you locate the RV Parks in the Florida Keys, be sure to pay attention to the mile markers usually listed in the address.

5 RV Parks in the Florida Keys- Upper Keys
For those RVers that want to visit the islands but don’t want to be too far from the mainland of Miami, the Upper Florida Keys is an excellent option. There are 5 RV RV Parks in the Florida Keys on the northern end of the Florida Keys.
Staying at an RV Park in the Upper Florida Keys gives you some options that staying at a park further south does not. The Upper Florida Keys have the same great world-class diving and fishing like the other Keys, and a visit to the Everglades is then only an hour away making it an easy day trip.

Every State Park in the Florida Keys offers something unique and spectacular for visitors, and Bahia Honda State Park is no exception. During the day the warm, crystal-clear sapphire waters of the Atlantic Ocean are a delight to swim in, but once the sun goes down it just gets better at night at Bahia Honda!
Most people don’t know that some of the very best stargazing happens here because Bahia Honda is the darkest location for stargazing in the Florida Keys. Twice a month Bahia Honda State Park hosts two stargazing programs on Friday and Saturday nights. On Fridays, the Florida Keys Astronomy Club sets up telescopes for campers to use. The Saturday night programs are led by a park ranger to the top of the Old Bahia Honda Bridge for viewing with the naked eye.
Bahia Honda State Park is big rig friendly and is very desirable but has limited space, so plan far in advance to get in (up to 11 months) or maybe you will get lucky and find a cancellation.
This is a very special and unique RV experience and program schedules vary based on the moon phase, generally occurring nearest the new moon and the 1st quarter moon.
Call 305-872-2353 for dates and times. Only overnight guests are eligible for these programs.
