About Bahia Honda State Park Campground
Natural Features and SceneryBahia Honda sits on a small island in the Lower Florida Keys with classic **turquoise Caribbean‑like water, white‑sand beaches and shallow sandbars**.[1][2][5] The park has both **Atlantic (oceanside) and Gulf/bay (harbor) shorelines**, so you get sunrise on one side and sunset over the old Bahia Honda Rail Bridge and the Gulf on the other.[1][2][3][5] Landscapes include sandy beaches (Calusa, Loggerhead, and the partially restored Sandspur), mangroves, seagrass flats, and low coastal vegetation with palms and tropical hardwoods providing greenery and privacy between many sites.[1][3][5] Many reviewers and the state park itself describe it as having some of the **most beautiful beaches in the Florida Keys**, with exceptionally clear, shallow water that is calm and kid‑friendly on the bay side.[2][3][5]

Good to know
Common complaints– **Road and bridge noise**: by far the most common complaint. Campers in Buttonwood and harbor‑side tent sites report heavy US‑1 and bridge traffic noise, sometimes describing it as feeling like trucks are coming through the tent and making sleep difficult.[1][2]
– **Uneven site quality and size**: reviewers note a big difference between large, scenic waterfront sites and smaller, narrow interior sites that can be hard to back into, especially for bigger RVs; some consider this a drawback given how hard it is to book.[1]
– **Aging or basic facilities**: some TripAdvisor reviews mention that restrooms, while clean, are dated and could use upgrades, and showers may not be very warm.[1][2]
– **Seaweed and occasional water clarity issues**: a number of visitors mention periods when there is a lot of seaweed on certain beaches and that storms or recent winds can reduce snorkeling visibility.[2][3]
– **Bugs in warmer months**: several reviewers caution that mosquitoes and no‑see‑ums can be intense when weather is hot and calm, making evenings uncomfortable without good repellent.[1][2]
– **Staff attitude mixed**: while many find staff friendly and efficient, at least one recent visitor reports an unhelpful or rude gate attendant that negatively impacted their experience.[3]
– **Partial closures after storms**: some disappointment arises when guests arrive to find parts of the Sandspur area, ocean‑side beaches, trails, or marina still closed for hurricane repairs.[1][2][5]
