I will always remember this charming little camping spot.
The good:
You can literally park on the marina, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. You can watch the SUP boarders and canoes glide right past you, close enough to
speak to them. The view is amazing, although, since it is oriented to the South, you miss any sunset views. We even saw a three foot long nerf shark glide under us at the dock next to our rv. My wife exclaimed: sure glad that we didn't venture out into the water!
The restaurant is charming, in a fun, gritty way. The food is outstanding. The seafood is, well, fresh. You can see fish swimming below your feet from the restaurant, so it doesn't much fresher than that!
The lady that takes reservations is friendly, funny, and sincere.
The neighbors were kind and laid back. We really liked that. Thank goodness, as we were in dorm-room proximity.
The difficult:
OMG, this place is tight and hard to get to. Take a wrong turn and you dead end with low lying electrical wires scraping your rv.
Once there, it took us about a half an hour to wriggle our rv into our incredibly tight parking spot, after performing many small serpentine maneuvers to get in. Leaving was even harder, as we had to impose on three neighbors blocking the way, in order to be able to back out of our spot. It wasn't actually possible to park there without being up against at least two small palm trees.
Typical of the Keys, I imagine, there were tons of biting mosquitos and the heat and humidity would get you soaking wet in 10-15 minutes. And this was mid-May.
Summary:
I wouldn't recommend this for a full size rv. The pain and risk of getting in and out probably doesn't warrant it. We were in one of only two full size rv's. Something like a compact Feather River R-Pod would be perfect. One neighbor had a tent on top of their Jeep. That also looked to be a perfect solution!
We will definitely return. Probably earlier in the year so we can avoid the heat, humidity, and mosquitos. We'll willingly suffer the small parking spaces, and the congestion of getting into the camp site, because the view is really nice and the food at the restaurant is good and not fussy.
