This is the best of the Keys. Atlantic on one side, Florida Bay (Gulf) on the other with carefully maintained natural habitat on the island. Whether you like to "rough-it" in a tent, bring an RV or want a nice cabin, this is the place. Booked far in advance for high season, but if you live close try late summer.

My family came down to visit me from philly and we had a great time the kids loved kayaking. It was very clean with lots of things to do.

We arrived in Bahia Honda (from Riverside, California) the week before the 4th of July, it was wonderful! The rangers were friendly and helpful; the employees at the concession were smart, friendly and spoke to our 8 year old daughter as if she was their equal. The atmosphere was family friendly, but if you just wanted to be alone the place is ...

What a great park!! We were camping at Pennekamp SP and not happy there. We decided to head south and got the last available site at Bahia Honda SP. Sandy beaches, friendly rangers, clean ammenities, spacious plant lined private sites, wildlife, trails, fishing...this place is 1000x better than where we were. The kids are now having a ball, they ...

I went with a few people primarily for a fishing trip. The fishing all around the park was excellent. Everyone is friendly, and the beaches are gorgeous. 62 dollars for 2 nights with 5 people. I highly recommend this park for anyone thinking about visiting or camping in the keys. I will most likely be going back annually after this trip.
Also, the campground is rock hard, so bring something comfortable to sleep on if you are in a tent.

this is definately the best beach in the U.S.
if you go try kayaking and snorkleing so muchhh fun (more for the adventureous person but wadeing in the water is also alot of funnn

I have been coming to Bahia Honda my entire life. I'm 35 years old and haven't missed very many years. The water is usually crystal clear and knee deep for about 1/4 mile out from shore. You can look for shells and snorkel, there is a great snack bar and 3 snorkeling trips a day. It is peaceful, and generally not to crowded, although ...

The beach/ snorkleing/ close to Key West. Loved going to No Name Key and watdhing the deer. The nights were just breath taking. We go to alot of the State Parks and this is one of our favorites.

The only thing I missed was a Dive program.
We will be back to camp there this time. we camped somewhere else and I wish we would have stayed there.
