Bluewater Key RV Resort

Bluewater Key sits on the water about 14 miles up the highway from Key West, on the quiet stretch of the Lower Keys where the road runs low and open across the flats. It is a condo-style park, which means the lots are individually owned and rented out, so each one has been landscaped by somebody who actually spends time there. The upshot for you is 81 sites that look nothing alike.

Every site has its own tiki hut and outdoor seating, which is the detail that turns an RV lot into an outdoor room. Bay-front and canal sites each include a private dock, and there is a community dock with boat slips for everyone else, so you can run your own boat out to the backcountry in the morning and have it tied up behind your rig by dinner. Sites are full hookup with 50, 30 and 20 amp service, water, sewer, trash service, cable and fiber Wi-Fi that people actually compliment.

Around the grounds there is a temperature-controlled freshwater pool, laundry, restrooms and showers, a rec hall and a dog run. Pets are welcome, with a two pet limit and some breed restrictions, so call ahead if you are traveling with a dog. The park is open year round.

One thing to sort out before you book. Bluewater accepts RVIA-certified Class A, B and C motorhomes, fifth wheels and travel trailers of at least 16 feet and no more than 80 feet. Bus and box truck conversions, pop-ups, hybrids, truck campers and tents are not permitted, and camping outside your RV is not allowed. Call the office with your rig details and they will tell you straight away whether it fits.
