Palm trees and tropical foliage separate the lot from neighbors. In fact, the lot has some shade and some sun on it all day long. From here you can explore the third largest coral reef in the world diving, snorkeling, fishing, and going to the the sandbar. You can also enjoy the pool, hot tub, tiki beach, and marina. Some of our favorite things to do are swimming with the dolphins, and para sailing 300 feet up so you can see the whole reef and wild life from above. This very special ocean front lot is available from May 1st-October 31st every year. Please be aware that there is a one time resort fee of $125 which covers all six people in your group.

You will pay $10 to park a trailer or extra vehicle in overflow parking. My wife and I live on the road in a 40 foot diesel pusher and we have never seen a nicer site than this one. Come for an amazing time in paradise.

Pelican Point

1 site · Lodging40 acres · Key Largo, FL
Welcome to PELICAN POINT! We are so excited to share one of our favorite places with you. Come enjoy our brand new luxury RV with all the amenities of home. We have a 38 foot Sport Trek Touring Edition trailer. It is tastefully decorated, very clean and in an excellent location within the Kampground. If you enjoy cooking then you're going to love this set up. There is an outdoor kitchen with a propane flattop grill, food preparation area, outdoor refrigerator, TV with DVD player, bluetooth speakers, and a stainless steel sink! It is the ultimate entertainment space. We have tried to achieve the "glamping" status for our guests. Gather the family, grab a cozy blanket and watch a movie on the 8 foot custom made sofa with sunbrella cushions. Take a stroll to the beach at the end of the street or just simply hang out at the pool. If you want to get really crazy, join the locals for BINGO at the clubhouse! (only offered in the winter season). There are boat slips for rent, a boat ramp, swimming pool, beach volleyball, basketball, bocce ball, badminton, children's playground, laundry facilities and more. The master bedroom has a queen sized Layla memory foam mattress, a fireplace for chilly nights (we do get some cool days every once in a while!) and an en-suite bathroom. The couch has heated massage seats that recline with cup holders, an outlet and USB charging ports. There is a wireless charging pad above the fireplace in the main living area for your convenience. The kitchen is upgraded with solid surface counters, stainless steel sink and has a gas stove. There is a full Calphalon pot and pan set, Ninja blender, Calphalon toaster, pour over coffee, electric kettle and all the things you'll need to cook for your loved ones. The dinette converts into a bed. The bunk room is in the rear and not just a fun place to sleep. There is a table for board games and another full size sofa. During the day that would be a perfect place to work from home remotely. The couch is a jack knife style which converts into a full size bed. There are three additional beds, 3 with mattress toppers as well so everyone will be very comfortable! The windows have black out shades so if you have little ones they can nap mid-day after they've had a full morning of fun! Each bedroom has a 32 inch wall mounted smart TV, the living room has a 40 inch as well as the outdoor entertainment area. Both 40 inch TV's are equipped with DVD players and Roku's so feel free to login to any of your own streaming accounts. The trailer has high speed wifi. There are two separate bath houses in the Kampground. They are both a short walk from the trailer and have full showers and toilets. One is located on the backside of the main office and the other is across from the clubhouse. This is great for larger groups! It allows more people to get ready at the same time, especially if you're trying to make it to dinner reservations. That just means more time for sightseeing or relaxing at the pool! While the trailer has 1.5 bathrooms this is a great bonus. Outside of the Kampground there is every activity you could image from jetskis, to eco-tours, fan boats, snorkeling, swimming with the dolphins, scuba diving, para-sailing, live music, boat charters where you get to keep your catch! You can even bring it to a local restaurant where they will prepare it for you. Check out the guest book for more info on restaurants and activities. Key Largo Kampground & Marina is located 50 miles south of Miami on a quiet 40 acre tropical setting (Mile Marker 101.5 Oceanside). It is a quarter mile off U.S. 1, one mile south of the entrance to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park (around 7 min by car). Our location in Key Largo is the perfect getaway for exploring all the Keys have to offer. John Pennekamp Park offers glass-bottom boats, snorkel, sailing, scuba tours, kayak and paddle-board, rentals and family water fun.

We have been camping at Long Key for 30 years. It is so awesome being right at the beach! It's right in the middle of the Keys so you can go either way to find lots of things to do or stay right there relaxing at your campsite. Unfortunately they are closed for renovations right now. :(

Really beautiful campground! We got a site right on the water. There isn't a ton of shade during the day, so be prepared. Each site has water, and the bathrooms and showers were really clean. There's a short hike, but otherwise you'll want to make sure you brought something to do, like a kayak or SUP. There are some stores driving distance away. A very relaxing spot!

Try and nab the higher number sites. They are generally bigger than the tent sites and there is more white sandy areas out in the water oppose to a reefy bottom.
