My boyfriend and I stayed at this campground for two nights on our way down to Key West. When I made the reservations, we got the only tent site that was available for the nights we wanted. As others have noted, the tent sites in this particular area (we were on the bay) are extremely gravelly. If we had not... More

Beautiful bridges and beaches. I hated that we did not plan more time to stay there, they have just about everything you need to have a great time there, including a store, restrooms, etc. There were plenty of people out at the beach area, and the park is very well maintained.

We stayed in Key Largo and decided to do a Key West day trip. On the way back, we stopped at Bahia Honda State Park because we had heard some positive reviews of it. We spent $9 on the entrance fee (me, my wife, my 5 yr old son). I let the ranger know that we had heard that there... More

We stopped here going into and leaving Key West. Very shallow water for a long way out so this is great for kids! Also great for snorkeling to see all kinds of critters--jellyfish, lobsters, and all kinds of corals and seaplants. Although not as colourful as the usual coral sealife, this area has other interesting living things such as sea... More

We stayed at Long Key, Curry Hammock and Bahia Honda. Bahia Honda is the nices by far! Nice swimming beaches, boat launch, kayak and snorkeling rental etc. We stayed in 2 spots. #71 was awesome only steps to the the water where you could swim. I caught live mullet with my cast net and had a big blue on till... More

Luckily for the kids and I, Reserve America had one tent space left for two nights and I snatched it at this beautiful state park. I took advantage of the snorkeling trip to Looe Key and it was just amazing! Rented kayaks and went out the the small coral island by the beach which was well worth the money spent!... More

I'll note right away that this rating only applies to the Buttonwood camping area, and really only further applies to tent camping there. The beachside sites looked absolutely gorgeous, but tent camping in the Buttonwood area was pretty uncomfortable. It's all gravel, which is great if you're in an RV or camper, but not fun when you're in a tent.... More

Beautiful grounds, sparkling bathrooms, and very starry skies! Sunsets from the old bridge are a must. Be prepared for seaweed lined beaches that smell very strongly at times. This is a natural beach and nothing natural is removed, including stinky seaweed. We stayed two nights and had some rain, no biggie. Best kayaking is at hurricane hole watersport on the... More

I can honestly say I was completely and pleasantly surprised by Bahia State Park! It exceeded my expectations and then some. Our group of eight, 4 adults, 4 teens, arrived around 11:00 AM and the lots were already full so plan accordingly. The rangers actually closed the park around noon due to no parking spaces! The cost for the 8... More

This was our 4th trip to Bahia Honda SP for spring break but our first staying in the Buttonwood Camp area. We lucked into a waterfront site between the bridges. I read some reviews about these and they were on the mark. I give it 4 stars because we love the park. But the downside to these sites: Road noise,... More
