Geiger Key Marina RV Park

Overview

A small, laid‑back “old Florida fish camp” on the water, Geiger Key Marina RV Park is a sweet base when you want Keys flavor without the Duval Street chaos. You’re camping beside mangroves with an on‑site tiki‑style restaurant and a working marina—easy days of paddling, fishing, and sunset plates all in one spot.

Campsites & Amenities

Expect a compact park (36 back‑in sites) with full hookups (30/50‑amp, water, sewer). Many waterfront sites have private tiki huts—great for shade and lingering over the view. You’ll find regular restrooms and showers, laundry, and friendly, hands‑on staff. Internet connectivity is solid, and pets are welcome. Big rigs can fit, but interior roads and site spacing are on the tight side. Note there’s no dump station. Typical check‑in is 2–5 pm; check‑out is 11 am.

On the Water

The marina makes it dead simple to get out there: rent kayaks or paddleboards from the Paddle Hut or join guided tours; grab a boat slip if you’re bringing your own vessel; or book fishing charters with quick access to the reef. It’s the kind of place where you can park the rig and spend days rotating between the water and the restaurant without ever touching the truck.

Food & Vibe

The waterfront restaurant and bar serves locally‑minded seafood and classic comfort plates at reasonable prices, with a relaxed Keys vibe. It’s popular with both campers and day‑trippers, so expect a buzz around mealtimes.

Wildlife

Keep an eye on the lagoon and mangroves—pelicans, herons, and egrets are regulars. Campers also report manatees, nurse sharks, and tarpon cruising by the docks. Bring binoculars if you’re a birder and a camera if you’re lucky with those close‑up encounters.

Getting There

From US‑1, turn at the Circle K between Mile Marker 10 and 11 onto Boca Chica Road. Watch for a small sign across from Geiger Road, then turn; the marina/RV park is on the right. The turnoff is easy to miss—use GPS.

Reservations & Seasonality

This place is small and high‑demand, especially around late‑December holidays. It’s common to book months to a year ahead in peak season; calling the park directly is the reliable move for reservations and amperage specifics.

Best Time to Visit

• For quieter camping, aim for weekdays outside peak winter.
• For paddling, the Paddle Hut typically runs tours/rentals Mon–Sat 9 am–5 pm and Sun 12–5 pm.
• For the restaurant, avoid the dinner rush by going before 5 pm—Friday and Saturday evenings are the busiest.

What to Know Before You Go

• Interior roads are snug—take it slow and plan your approach.
• You may hear occasional aircraft noise from nearby NAS Key West; most guests roll with it, but sound‑sensitive travelers should be aware.
