Can't go wrong
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/16/06
Myself and three others go every lobster season. We have been going for many years and will continue for many more. BPKFL is the place to stay! Clean, friendly, well stocked. They do special events for the entire family like ice cream socials. It is truly a multi-generational family run enterprise and it shows. Rentals include mobile home trailers, hotel style rooms with a kitchen or campsights. For the price, you won't be sorry.
My Pe-Pop stayed at BPKFL for years and finally moved there permentally, where he finished out his days. I would go down and visit him during winter vacations when a was a child.
I haven't been back since he died (19yrs ago) but BPKFL is allways in my mind and I know I'll get back one day--even if I have to reitre there.
Thanks to all the owners, staff and guests that allways made me feel welcome.

Great staff and awesome location for fishing. I'm heading down on Saturday and this will be my third year in a row. I make my reservation for the next year on the day I check out!

SECOND TO NONE
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/22/06
My family has been going to the lodge for years; it's clean, well maintained and always a friendly place to stay. The only thing that I don't like is: Leaving.
Kudos to the Gladwell family.

My father has been to Big Pine key Fishing Lodge for lobster mini season every year for 20 years. I am on my 8 time being to the fishing lodge and I love it. It has great atmostphere and great staff. Everybody is always really fun and relaxed. Great location for fishermen and divers; easy access to the water. All around great place.
THIS IS A FAMILY OPERATION THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. THEY HAVE BEEN BATTERED WITH THREE HURRICANES IN THE LAST 7 YEARS, AND ALWAYS TURN OUT BETTER THAN EVER. IT HAS A GREAT FAMILY FEEL TO IT, AND THE RESOURCES ARE GREAT. THE POOL IS OUTSTANDING, AND ACCESS TO FISHING IS PERFECT. THE STAFF ARE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. I HAVE GONE EVERY YEAR ...

Worth every penny!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/17/06
What a gem this fishing lodge is!! My folks live in the park for about 5 months a year. I've had the pleasure of being a guest on the campgrounds! This place is perfect. It's just a short ride into Key West and far enough away to chill out. The little store is perfect and my kid loves the swimming pool...he took second place in the hoola ...
Just got home from vacationing at Big Pine Key Fishing Lodge. It was without a doubt the best place we've ever stayed in the keys! We are hoping to return year after year. Only five years to retirement. We hope to be able to spend the season with our new found frinds when that happens.

Best Place in the Keys
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/10/06
We stayed here last year and we are definitely making it an annual trip. No need to bring food because they have everything you need in the store on-site(at very reasonable prices). Couldn't have asked for a better camping experience.
