Sunshine Key RV Resort & Marina

Overview

Set on its own 75‑acre island (Ohio Key) along the Overseas Highway, this is a big, activity‑forward RV resort with about 399 sites and front‑row sunset views. It’s the kind of place where you park, drop the jacks, and let the water do the entertaining—then fill the gaps with organized activities and evenings by the pier.

What You’ll Find

• Full‑hookup RV sites, including coveted waterfront spots, plus vacation cottages.
• A marina with slips and a bait shop, a swimming/fishing pier, a heated pool, and loads of rec options: pickleball, tennis, volleyball, basketball, pavilion, game room/billiards, and a playground.
• Practical touches: camp store, laundry buildings, and restroom/shower facilities. High‑speed internet is available for a fee. You’ll also find food trucks/vendors on site and a gas station next door for last‑minute needs.

On the Water

Fishing from the pier at sunset is a crowd favorite, and the marina makes boat days simple (boats over 18 ft need a slip reservation before arrival). Divers and snorkelers use this as a launchpad for nearby reef trips—Looe Key is just offshore—so bring your mask or your charter wishlist.

Vibe and Who It’s For

Expect an upbeat, social resort feel with an activities director running water aerobics, exercise classes, bingo/cards, crafts, family events, and outdoor movie nights. Recent guests rave about the scenery and sunsets; some note that the scene can skew lively in busy periods.

Key Policies and Logistics

• Check‑in: noon for RVs; 4 p.m. for rentals. Check‑out: 11 a.m. (early/late options may be offered for a fee).

Nearby

Bahia Honda State Park is about a mile away for additional beaches and kayak/snorkel time, and Key West sits within easy day‑trip range if you want a dose of dining and nightlife.

Best Time to Visit

Sunset is the show here—plan to be on the pier or shoreline in the golden hour. Waterfront sites book out fast in peak season, so reserve early and be flexible since exact site assignments aren’t guaranteed.
