Key Largo Kampground & Marina

We stayed waterfront, it was an amazing campsite. Each waterfront site has its own "bungalow" on the water with a ladder. You can swim and snorkel right from your site. Beach is on a small waterway but it was great. Very friendly. This is a mixed bag of seasonal and transient campers but it is worth staying in. Close to John Pennekamp State Park. Manatees and fish right from the dock. Loved it.

One of the best sites we’ve had in the Florida Keys. Be sure to get a water front site. Other sites are very crowded and have a mix of seasonal places that can be nice or a bit neglected. We will be back as long as we can reserve a waterfront site. Also has a lovely big pool and lots of social events.

We stayed here in late February 2019 and enjoyed it very much. we booked late, so all that was available was an interior site, but we still liked it quite a bit and had a good time while staying there. The pool is very nice and the beaches are great places to launch canoes or kayaks into the mangroves. It's easy walking, biking, or driving distance to John pennekamp State Park and plenty of restaurants and attractions in key largo. I would definitely stay here again.

The water sites are amazing and the snorkeling is perfect. Wow this was an amazing campground

We booked a week stay here because the Florida State Parks shut down. We put down a deposit of $132(out of $640 total) which included a $5 booking fee. A day later Monroe County closed the Keys to all non residents. We expected our reservation to be cancelled and we received an email stating the cancellation. The problem is that their system does refunds by charging the amount again and then refunding 2x the amount a few days later. This means we are missing 260. The staff member I spoke to is aware of this problem and said not to worry the money will show up eventually. To top that gem off, he said the "Board of Directors" decided that all the $5 booking fees would be kept and not refunded. I cannot understand these greedy business policies especially during this outbreak. I would avoid this business.

Beautiful views, great location, front desk staff downright snotty, many of the “owners/residents” are hostile toward renters. Our site 104 was a good location but flooded daily so we couldn’t leave out anything and no place to walk the dogs onsite or off site. Under better management and separating renters from owners some this could be a great place to stay. As is I will not go back. AT&T cellular service was awesome,
5ge 118 mbps down!

I made a reservation there for Jan and then made 5 more reservations, non refundable to get there from Texas. Today, 3 weeks later they dent back my deposit saying they made a mistake and could not accommodate me. I’m out 1000 for their mistake. Lost my trip, 42 anniversary. Their response....be an adult and find someplace else. Well I’m screwed...nothing available elsewhere.

If you like paying >$100 a night for a flooded parking lot, then this is the place for you! Literally couldn’t step outside my rig without landing in several feet of water. Surrounded by it on all sides. Couldn’t sit outside. Couldn’t walk my dogs anywhere without wading through a literal river running through the street. It didn’t even rain when we there. It was simply THAT flooded from an earlier rain (normal Florida rainstorm, not a tropical storm or hurricane). No WiFi despite what they advertised. No real amenities just a very old, rickety swing set, despite charging extra for children ages 6+. No fires allowed (although I couldn’t build one in a puddle anyway). Mostly a mobile home park with a few rentable RV spots, and the residents are very unfriendly to the renters. One of them got angry/confrontational with us about supposedly not picking up dog poop as we were very visibly carrying bags full of poop, and I saw someone else getting yelled at for her car allegedly being parked too far out into the road (aka the River). Got a booking last minute for a holiday weekend and should have seen the red flags! I’ve stayed in hundreds of campgrounds in 40 states and this one is among my least favorite… and in terms of price vs. value it’s the worst I’ve ever experienced.

This was the worst campground ever. The bathhouses need to be gutted and pool replaced. Doesn’t appear the bathhouses have been deep cleaned in decades. Showers were awful. Staff very rude and seemed to not care if you stayed or not. We left after one night and forfeited the remaining two nights at $100 a night it was so bad.

This was our first experience with a “condo” campground. We were not prepared for it, and the semi-permanent structures, but we got used to the idea. Our site had a pretty dilapidated trailer on one side, which the manager agreed was an eyesore. However, the rest of the sites around us had quiet, polite people in nice rigs. We explored and found a nice laundry (but hey, why no changemaker?). The clubhouse, which is open to all even if not owners, fronts on the canal and is a very pleasant spot for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. The pool is quite nice, though it could use a few more shade opportunities.

The best feature of the campground is the quiet. It’s never very noisy, and by 10 pm it’s dead quiet. There was some bozo a few rows away who fired up loud music every evening, but by 8 pm he was done.

We initially complained about the eyesore next door, and the next day the new property manager came to see us. His manner was perfect, and that set us on the road to feeling good about the property. He told us that he was going to be making enhancements, and I believe him.

We have learned that in this part of Florida, a condo campground is what you’re most likely to find (other than the state parks, which are gorgeous but impossible to get into). We looked at a couple other nearby options, and Key Largo Kampground is best-of-breed based on our observations. We would never be interested in buying a site and being there for the season, but we’ve already decided to book two weeks next winter.

Wifi is from hot spots located in public areas. Not really good if you're far from them. I have Xfinity WiFi, and there was a hotspot nearby so I had great service.

My biggest remaining issue is that the web site doesn’t explain the condo nature of the campground. I think that’s a disclosure that would be helpful and might prevent some complaints.
