Boyd's Key West Campground

Boyd's Key West Campground is a private waterfront campground on Stock Island at Mile Marker 5, one bridge east of Key West proper and a Keys institution since 1963. Its pitch is location: full hookups on the water about four miles from Duval Street, so you can bike or ride the bus to Old Town without moving the RV. It also has a marina with boating services, which makes it the pick for anyone trailering a boat to Key West. It suits RVers whose trip is about Key West itself, boaters and winter regulars.

Why RVers stay here

Boyd's Key West Campground is a private waterfront campground on Stock Island at Mile Marker 5, one bridge east of Key West proper and a Keys institution since 1963.

Sites are full hookup with 30/50-amp, water, sewer and cable, and our specs list 220 sites with a practical maximum around 42 feet because of tight turns. Our guide gives a rate range of $85 to $185 per night, but the operator refers to current rate sheets, so ask for one in writing. Winter sells out 6 to 12 months ahead, and repeat guests rebook the same week annually. Amenities include a heated pool, fishing pier, waterfront tiki area, kayak rentals, laundry and food trucks, and cell signal is strong. The trade-off is density: sites are close, the shoreline is mangrove rather than sand, and you pay Key West prices.

Regional guide

Florida Keys RV Parks: Island Hopping from Key Largo to Key West

The closest RV park to downtown Key West and a Keys institution since 1963. Boyd's sits on the oceanfront at Mile Marker 5, meaning you can bike or take the bus to Duval Street, Mallory Square, and the Hemingway House without moving the RV.

The trade-off: it's dense. Sites are close together, the trees are mature but the shade doesn't offset the packed-in feeling, and the oceanfront is more mangrove shoreline than sandy beach. You're here for the Key West access, period.

Boyd's has a loyal following of repeat visitors who book the same week every year. If you want a waterfront site in January, you may need to call in the spring before.

Our verdict

Book Boyd's if sleeping four miles from Old Town with full hookups, a marina and a pool is the point of your Keys trip. Skip it if you want space between sites, a sandy beach or budget pricing; Bahia Honda or the mid-Keys resorts are roomier.
