Boyd's Key West Campground

We stayed at Boyd's for 11 days in mid-December. I was concerned with the cost, but learned that if we wanted to be close to Key West and on the water, this is what is costs. After that, I thoroughly enjoyed the campground. The heated pool is the best when the temps get down into the lower 70's. The wireless network was the best we've experienced. The onsite food truck, Delunas Cafe, is amazing. It serves breakfast and lunch, delivers, and has the best conch fritters in Key West. The office store is fully stocked with local souvenirs, RV needs, and key lime pie. There are several local restaurants and shops within 3 blocks including an amazing fish market right across the street. And, it's only a 15 minute drive or 30 minute bike ride into old town Key West. In addition to all of this, the water sites are amazing with concrete pads, shrub barriers between sites, and full on views of the bay.

Great location,very convenient to Key West, we rode our bikes to Duval; we had a waterfront campsite, nice hard-packed level site, well maintained hookups and the grounds were clean & well-kept. It was an ideal spot, well worth it although you have to reserve well in advance. We already have reservations for Feb. 2020! We're definitely going back.

There aren’t many choices of campgrounds when it comes to Key West--there just isn’t much space! Boyd’s is pretty famous, and they had availability for our dates. Because this was our kickoff we wanted to splurge on a waterfront site, but there are other sites that are much less expensive. It also helps to go in the off season.

When we pulled up to Boyd’s I was sort of surprised it was not in a great neighborhood. Most of Key West isn’t, but this was a combo of warehouse district and really old mobile homes that felt a little uncomfortable until we actually got in the gates. Once inside, the site was great. There was also a guard at the front entrance all night.

Our check in was quick and smooth, and our site was waterfront as promised. We had many chickens around our site as we pulled in as well as innumerable iguanas! Most of the rigs at Boyd’s are either gigantic or tents, so our airstream seemed really tiny compared to some of our neighbors!

Boyd’s has a marina, a kayak slip, laundry, a heated pool, and bathrooms on site. Our site had full hookups, and we had no issues. For the whole time we were there, we only had one neighbor so there was space around us. I can imagine things don’t feel quite so spacious during season.

We had a great time at Boyd’s--feeding the chickens and iguanas was a big hit--but there is so much to do in Key West that we didn’t spend most of our time there. It was very quiet at night for sleeping!

Los espacios son chiquitos en mi caso pague por ver una pared saliendo de el trailer si miraba a derecha la cerca q daba a la calle y en el frente mi camioneta ya q no podía estacionarme de otra manera. De verdad no lo recomiendo ah y al lado tenía un taller de mantenimiento de ellos. El internet lentisimo . En particular no me gusto el patio de mi casa esta mejor. Otra cosa no se dejen engañar yo llame para reservar no me dijeron q espacio me tocaba ni tienen mapa online claro el q ve lo q le van a dar no va. Y así te engañan ya q manejas 4 horas con un trailer y niños no vas a regresar a casa es todo un Fraude.

We stayed here early September, through the Labor Day weekend. This campground was selected months in advance, since we wanted a waterfront spot, and our plans were to spend much of our time in and around Key West. Per our plan, we did not stay at the campground throughout the day, but spent most of our time playing tourist in Key West. This was our basecamp; definitely would not stay here if hanging out all day. The spots are too small to enjoy.

Although this campground is tight, especially when it filled up over Labor Day, it was quiet during our stay. The staff is friendly. In fact, they assisted me in finding a welding repair shop to repair my toad tow rig. Also, when we arrived late,10:30PM, someone was there to check us in and guide us to our spot.

We did use the pool one late afternoon after the crowds were gone; was clean and a good way to cool off. We also enjoyed photographing the iguanas running around. The highlight for us each morning and evening was watching the sunrise and sunset; awesome color and views.

We stayed here in December as it was the closest park that we could find to downtown Key West. We were able to bike from Boyd's to Mallory Square (6 miles each way), and it was a great little ride. This was also a great home base for us as we were gone three days to the Dry Tortugas and we needed a nearby place for our early morning departure. As mentioned in prior reviews, logistically it worked. The staff was very friendly. The park is safe and there is ample security, so we felt very safe. The sites are very small and tight, however it was peaceful and quiet while we were there. Be sure to check out Roostica pizza down the street for some amazing pie.
