Fiesta Key RV Resort

Rate paid reflects Thousand Trails membership. Oh my goodness, by far our favorite stay, well…ever? The resort is on its own peninsula so the views are spectacular. There are amenities on top of amenities including a marina, a restaurant, a kayak launch, and all the expected resort features. We arrived on a Friday which is the evening the resort hosts a special event at sunset. Our particular Friday they provided wine, cheese, and fruit. Nice! During our stay we observed all kinds of birds, numerous iguanas and pelicans, and even a manatee! The sites are close together but we were there mid-April and never had a next door neighbor. I can see how an inconsiderate neighbor would be hard to ignore here! Everyone we encountered was pleasant. Great location midway between Islamorada and Marathon. We would absolutely a thousand percent stay at this resort again, it was so hard to leave!! We would even be happy in whatever would be considered a bad site in this resort.....

We booked the premium site over Christmas and New Years and had a blast. Premium sites are pretty spacious and right next to a walkway by the water with some gorgeous water views. Staff is super friendly, the grounds are nicely kept and they pick up trash at your site in the mornings. Every Friday night they have a little get together by the tiki hut to watch the sunset. One of the driving factors of why we stayed here is because they have a hot tub! The only downside to that is they close it at sundown. :( Great bartenders, the grouper sandwich is delicious and there’s a little store with most items you might need.

We really enjoyed our stay here which is exactly why we’ll be back next year!

The park advertises itself as lush, I literally felt like I was camping in a parking lot. No grass, no trees, no cable. Paid extra for WiFi which was spotty at best! Picnic table bas basically unusable. It was very warped and charred. With that being said, the laundry, camp store and restaurant were all very nice.

My star rating does not give an accurate rating.

I booked a Premium site over 8 months in advance. We have a large motor home with 4 slides. This site might be fine for a camper van, but not for anything with any slides. Fiesta Key has totally mis-represented this camp site! They don’t have cable (hurricane Irma knocked it out in 2017 and they have not fixed it in 5 years!). The satellites are too low for reception. Bring plenty of books!

Spaces are pretty small here. It was a challenge backing in and their spots are on an angle which doesn't help. Our kids had a great time as this place was packed with families and plenty of kids to hang with. The pool was heated and was on the ocean. The beach swimming area was rocky, so we didn't use that. We ordered appetizers from the on site restaurant during happy hour and they were just ok. The place was remarkably quiet, despite 400 families being there. Things really did quiet down by 9pm and we never had an issue with noise. We paid a high price to stay over Christmas. Yes we would return but maybe not at Christmas.

Definitely one of the best Trails Collection campgrounds (Thousand Trails) we’ve been to. We lucked out with a back in spot along the mangroves near the kayak launch and it was perfect. We kayaked every day that wasn’t too windy and saw nurse sharks, dolphins, and even a spotted eagle ray! The campground has a laundromat and the marina store fills propane tanks. Another great perk- they pick up your trash at your site any time of day up until around 4pm. The closest grocery shopping was Publix about 15 minutes away in Islamorada.

With a booster, cell service worked for remote work/video conferencing with AT&T and Verizon, but AT&T was stronger (so we stuck with that for the most part during our stay). Verizon seemed to struggle during parts of the day.

nightly rate reflects TT membership. very clean and friendly resort. As expected, sites are pretty tight but enough room to still enjoy. Restaurant/bar has good food and drinks, and happy hour (3-6 daily) are pretty good. Also nice to have the marina in the resort, with ability to fish from multiple areas or easily launch a kayak or SUP. IMO overall definitely worth the trails collection add-on from Thousand Trails ($315 this year) even if you don't use it anyway else, along with the $20 per night, as long as you can stay a week or more (1 week comes to about $65/night, 2 weeks comes to $42.50/night, whereas no membership is going to be over $150/night at least).

Islamorada and Marathon are both about 20 minute drive and have plenty of shopping and activities. There's not too much immediately close to the resort.

ATT on Peplink was very fast - about 50 mbps down and 20 up.

Staff was beyond incredible. James from the security team checked us in with a smile. Then Jack took us to our site and insisted upon backing us in. Great service! Also spoke to Jordan in the office and she was wonderful. Then George gave us some tips on local places of interest. There is no onsite dumpster so guests are instructed to place their garbage bags outside and a staff member kindly picks them up. Recycling bins are available. We stayed in site 339 for 5 nights and it was fabulous! We loved facing the water. This gorgeous resort includes a private beach area with lots of activities. There is also a large pool with 2 small hotubs and even a small store. The pool was heated but sadly it is always full of splashing kids. Resort staff also provide 3 large hammocks for guests to enjoy. Pretty cool! We tried the onsite restaurant one night and it was disappointing to say the least. We found a table and proceeded to be ignored for the next 20 minutes. I walked up to the bar and decided to order some happy hour items there instead. The female bartender was highly apologetic. She said that only 2 servers were on duty as the entire staff was undergoing daily COVID testing. Perhaps multiple folks had recently tested positive? Things seemed to be back to normal a few nights later when we heard a live band playing along with lots of drunken warbling from bar patrons. Now that's the island spirit! Tiki hut located at the NW corner of the resort is a great place to watch the sunset. Free wifi at the community center wasn't so great. Didn't try the optional paid wifi at our site. Also did not try the onsite laundry or bathrooms. Our AT&T and Verizon phones had decent signal strength. Couldn't program any over-the-air TV channels but who cares? Get out of your RV and enjoy the beach!

Having never gone to the Keys before, this resort made for a great introduction. I don't often use the word resort for campground, but it definitely fits here. It has its own enclosed area on the key, and one could spend an entire stay just in this area, enjoying the pool, beach, restaurant, and watching all the pelicans do their thing on the dock. However, don't do that because the Keys have so much to do and so much to see. At mile marker 70, Fiesta Key sits about halfway down the Overseas Highway. We spent day trips to both Key West and Key Largo and especially liked the upper keys--but to each his/her own.
