Florida Keys RV parks are busy throughout the year. Book well in advance if you plan to visit from January through April.
The bargains are in state park campgrounds. Expect to pay top dollar at private campgrounds. Rates leaped after the pandemic and a pair of destructive hurricanes. Many RV parks had to rebuild from scratch.
We have visited all 18 of the campgrounds in this article and think they are worthy of your attention.
