Sugarloaf Key / Key West KOA Resort

This is a private, year-round campground with RV and tent sites plus separate hotel suites on Sugarloaf Key. It sits at US-1 mile marker 20, about a 30-minute drive from the main Key West area. It makes sense as a place to stay or spend time by the water, not as an unplanned public beach stop.

A small sandy beach and marina give the property a water-facing side beyond its landscaped campsites. KOA also lists a pool, hot tub and sauna. The beach is private; the marina's boat ramp and fuel dock are listed as open to the public for a fee. Check access before planning a day visit.

RV sites include full-hookup pull-through and back-in options, advertised up to 85 feet and 50 amps. Tent sites have shade structures with water and electric, and hotel guests can use resort amenities. The property has bathhouses with showers, Wi-Fi, EV charging and a fenced dog park. It is pet-friendly, though specific leash rules and detailed accessible-site information weren't clear in the material reviewed; confirm those needs before booking.

The cafe and poolside pub cover casual meals and snacks, with examples such as pastries and coffee, nachos, sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs. A marina shop stocks food and basic fishing supplies. This is convenient resort food rather than a stop built around a signature dish.

The resort promotes live music, and some guests enjoy the pub entertainment; a couple of recent stays also report evening sound carrying into the camping area. If quiet nights matter, ask about the current event schedule when choosing a site. The grounds, landscaping and cleanliness are frequent positives in visitor reports.
