Boyd's Key West Campground

Boyd's Key West Campground is located in Key West, FL. It is a pretty good sized park and sits right on the ocean. The landscaping throughout the park is beautiful and there is a boat ramp so you don't have to go anywhere else to launch your boat.

The people in the office and working around the grounds are very friendly. We were there just before the sno-bird season started and the park was pretty empty. There were several campers who came through for a few days to go crab fishing. They were all happy to tell me about their experiences and how they actually catch crab by hand!

I saw my first sand crab here and it looked like a big spider with a shell. It gave me a scare when it popped out and back in a hole in front of me.

As most of you know this is an island at the southern most tip of the US. What I didn't realize was that Cuba was only 90 miles away from the southern most tip of Key West!

I didn't find any dog parks nearby but they did have a stretch of beach where you could take your dogs. When we were there the beach was pretty deserted but it was very well taken care of and beautiful.

Boyd's Key West Campground was pretty expensive compared to RV parks in the main part of Florida but with the limited amount of space on the island, I'm sure their expenses were pretty high too. If we ever get sent back to Key West, I would definitely stay at Boyd's again.
