We operate year-round, but our peak season runs November through April. When our fall season comes, the bugs and humidity subside, the hurricanes are gone for the season and we are left with gorgeous weather and good friends.
We have RV sites with full hookups ($20 per week) and employee housing ($40 per week) is available for those leaving their campers behind. Our team members enjoy free and/or discounted bicycle, kayak, and boat rentals, food discounts, and free boat tours. And you can be driving through the Florida Keys in under two hours!
