Why RVers stay here

Sugarloaf Key / Cudjoe Key KOA is the only KOA in the Lower Florida Keys, a private full-hookup campground at Mile Marker 20 on Sugarloaf Key set on a canal with ocean access. It suits RVers who want a functional, clean base about 20 miles from Key West, close enough for day trips but far enough to sleep without Duval Street noise, and especially anyone with a small boat who wants to dock and fish from their campsite.

The practical picture: 198 sites with full 30/50-amp hookups, a 50-foot rig limit, pool, hot tub, marina, boat ramp and camp store, good cell signal and dogs welcome. Rates run $95 to $200 a night depending on season and site, and winter needs booking six to nine months ahead through KOA.com. Canal sites are the reason to come. The trade-off is density: interior sites are packed tighter than most KOAs and can feel claustrophobic at peak season, so if you cannot get a canal site, weigh whether the location alone justifies the rate.
