This Oceanfront RV Park Is A Scenic Base To Explore One Of Florida's Best Tourist Spots

Nestled on the southernmost tip of the continental United States, Key West, Florida, is a vibrant beachside paradise known for its crystal-clear waters, colorful architecture, and laid-back atmosphere. From its lively Duval Street to the historic Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, Key West is what all good vacations are made of: a unique blend of culture, history, and tropical charm.

And while the island offers a variety of accommodations — from beach resorts with Old Florida flair to charming bed and breakfasts — there's one option that stands out for travelers who are looking to embrace the outdoors and combine the serenity of nature with all the comforts of convenience: Boyd's Key West Campground.

Located along the eastern shore of Key West, Boyd's Campground boasts breathtaking oceanfront views, as well as plenty of guest amenities and facilities that make outdoor living much more comfortable. So whether you're traveling in an RV, pitching a tent, or looking for a cozy tiny home rental, this family-owned campground offers a range of accommodation options designed to suit pretty much every type of traveler.

In terms of amenities, Boyd's Campground offers more than just a place to park your RV or pitch your tent — it's basically a full-fledged tropical retreat with plenty of perks that'll put any resort to shame. For starters, there's the on-site pool. Equipped with sun chairs, TVs, and a tiki hut, visitors can choose to either lounge by the water to soak up the Florida sun or cool off with a swim after a day of exploring Key West — all while enjoying the laid-back atmosphere.

Meanwhile, for guests who enjoy a little more movement, Boyd's also offers activities like poolside aerobics classes, themed cookout parties, and friendly cornhole tournaments at the pavilion. And if that's still not enough action, kayak and paddle board rentals are also available so you can easily venture out for a day of diving, fishing, or snorkeling directly from the campground's marina. Craving something a little less strenuous? Movie nights and bingo sessions are also regular features, so don't worry if you're not the adventurous type.

As for sightseeing, the campground is conveniently located near a long list of top Key West attractions, including Old Town Key West, the Key West Aquarium, the Ernest Hemingway House, and the Southernmost Point Buoy all under 5 miles away.
