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. The resort limits six people per campsite. Each site can have one RV (solid sides only), 1 auto, 1 motorcycle, and one golf cart. There is room for boats on the 57 foot sea wall. 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.

Tips for snagging a campsite

You can reserve the park's tent or RV campsites in advance via the Florida State Parks website. Reservations are available year-round.
Florida residents can make campsite reservations 11 months in advance, while non-residents can make reservations 10 months in advance.
Reservations tend to fill quickly due to the park's popularity, especially during peak seasons and holidays. Book your campsite as early as possible to ensure availability.

When to go

Bahia Honda State Park is open year-round. The peak season typically falls during the winter months when the weather is mild and ideal for outdoor activities. But if you're craving peace and quiet, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) when the park is less crowded. If you visit during the summer months, stay aware of hurricane season (June to November) and plan accordingly.

Know before you go

Bahia Honda State Park is about 37 miles from Key West on Big Pine Key and is open 365 days a year from 8am until sundown.
It's recommended to arrive early on weekends and holidays because the park may close after reaching maximum capacity in its day-use areas. During these temporary closures, arriving visitors will be asked to return later.
The park offers amenities like restrooms, picnic areas, and a concession stand where you can purchase snacks and drinks, and rent chairs, snorkeling equipment, and kayaks.
While there are no admission fees for the park, there are fees for parking, camping, and equipment rentals.
