Tucked between Highway 1 and a pristine stretch of Atlantic coastline, this intimate 28-site campground puts you steps from turquoise waters and some of the Keys' most stunning sunrises. With water and electric hookups at most sites, it's your launchpad for kayaking through mangrove tunnels, paddleboarding over seagrass meadows, and spotting wading birds along nature trails that wind through tropical hammock.
A compact 28-site campground with gravel pads and sandy tent areas; sites provide water and electric hookups and accommodate both RVs and tents.
Historical Significance
Managed to protect representative Florida Keys ecosystems—especially rockland hammock, mangroves, and seagrass communities—with interpretive emphasis on ecological and botanical values rather than human historical sites.Weather and SeasonsPlan your visit between November and April, when temperatures hover in the comfortable 70s, afternoon breezes keep mosquitoes at bay, and the humidity drops just enough to make every sunset feel perfect. Summer brings its own personality—sultry afternoons, afternoon thunderstorms that clear as quickly as they arrive, and a lushness that makes everything feel more alive, though you'll want to pack bug spray and keep an eye on tropical weather forecasts from June through November.
Natural Features and SceneryWake up to the rustle of palm fronds and the call of herons in one of the Florida Keys' most diverse natural sanctuaries. Your campsite sits within a lush rockland hammock—a shady oasis of native hardwoods—just a short stroll from a coquina-lined beach where clear, knee-deep water stretches toward the horizon. Mangrove channels snake through the park's edges, creating a maze of emerald waterways teeming with fish, rays, and marine life, while offshore seagrass beds shimmer in the sun. It's a living tapestry of coastal ecosystems, all within reach of your tent or RV.
