  • Bahia Honda State Park is just 45 minutes from Key West, and is one of The Top Florida State Parks and some of the best Florida camping in the Florida Keys! Bahia Honda has its own beach, marina, and campground that accommodates RV's, tent campers, and even those who want a cabin to stay in. Bahia Honda State Park is just a short drive in to Marathon, Florida as well. This is a bucket list campground and we recommend sites 16 & 25 right on the water! They have cabins and tent camping too!

    I was told that Bahia Honda was one of the best places to stargaze. Their stars are apparently not hindered by city lights. They also said this time of year, February, March was a great time as the air is crisp and a little cooler

      Forgot to also ask. They say there's a chance to see the milkyway ?
      Anyone with information for us. My nephew. My sister's son has never really seen stars. This means a lot to us.

    Very helpful video, especially regarding specific sites. I am however stunned at the difference in the vegetation. So much of it is gone after Hurricane Irma. This island was lush with palm trees, sea grapes and large mangroves. It was actually shady in many of the sites. It will recover quickly and it is still beautiful. Thanks.

    Ok we are going in April. Been there twice before. Is the area you mentions after Bahia Honda, just over the bridge that you said was Heritage Trail, was it left or right after the bridge. We would really like to check that out.

    • @CampTravelExplore
      @CampTravelExplore  4 года назад

      So as you are headed towards key west on the bridge, just as the bridge ends going over the water, it should be to your right. There was a turn off there, but it was easy to miss, I think I had to turn around myself to find it. Hope this helps, trying to remember best I can. I wonder if you put the name of the trail in your gps would work as I didn't know the name of the trail at the time I went, worth a try as well. Let us know if you end up finding it!
