Gorgeous campground and a well produced video. Thanks for sharing!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You Grand Adventure, your channel sets a high bar for all of us! We appreciate your feedback!

[@scottsutter3371]

We were there after the hurricane and most of the vegetation was gone. The next year it came back some. They have done a good job on the sites.

[@CampTravelExplore]

TY for your insights!!

[@trekkermueth3074]

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.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank you for your feedback! Yes still beautiful, but we hear ya! Glad the site views were helpful! Site 26 is incredible!

[@irislorikeet4287]

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

[@irislorikeet4287]

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.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Not an expert on the startgazing part, but it would be perfect there in March!!

[@saxon1177]

Ahhh, the sound of nature ........ and vehicles throughout the night.

[@CampTravelExplore]

lol, wasn't too bad when we were there!

[@4SunnyinMiami2]

The park is well maintained. No trash thrown around.👌

[@CampTravelExplore]

One of Florida's gems!!!

[@journey2fifty]

Since our stay at gulf shores Alabama we are huge fans of beach camping! Great video!

[@CampTravelExplore]

TY for your kind feedback, and yes, beach camping is great!!

[@greenleavesofsummer9673]

That white QUARTZ beach is #1 beach! It’s like SNOW! THATS RIGHT!

[@Diver5451]

Going back for Christmas with my granddaughter. First time I'll be camping in Bayside, I have always stayed in Sandspur but it is still closed due to hurricane damage. Can't wait for Sandspur to reopen but still excited about going to Bayside.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Enjoy! Let us know an update on the hurricane damage areas if you would!

[@edp2259]

my favorite spot is site 68 on sandspru side... still under re-construction from the storm

[@CampTravelExplore]

Hoping the other beach is open by now

[@edp2259]

@@CampTravelExplore i checked a few weeks ago, not untill sometime in 2021 is what i was told :(

[@LeesaGio]

@ed p... is this a tent camping site? Or RV? I'm looking to 'rough it', tent camp, n the keys in a couple months.

[@edp2259]

@@LeesaGio all of sand spur used to be tent sites because of the low clearance of the hardwood hamock. I hope they keep it that way. if you go to youtube and type in campsite photos bahia honda, campsite photos has a short video of all the sites, Sandspur starts at about site 49 and runs to 72 ...73-80 are over by the cabins

[@aljac2323]

Thanks for the review. Staying there on site 24 next weekend for the first time. Very excited.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Glad you enjoyed it, have a great time!

[@Tungoon]

Make sure you book at least a year out or you won’t get in and watch out for the no seeums in mid to late may they will bite ! But it’s still an awesome place to stay

[@CampTravelExplore]

And keep trying daily until you get in there lol! Thanks for checking out our episode!!

Another awesome video, guys!!! Thanks so much. I live in Southern California and would LOVE to go to the Keys in my RV, just need to get the hubby to agree to drive that far!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! Get your hubby on board, you will love it! We are kinda headed your way in July, well Oregon anyway! Happy camping!

[@tsav6952]

I rode my motorcycle from Florida to California and back so your hubby can do it in a comfy RV. 😉

[@jamesbroderick3660]

New subscriber, thanks for showing tent sites. Enjoy your channel, opened my eyes to some new places to check out. 😊

[@CampTravelExplore]

TY for subscribing! We appreciate your feedback! We put out content regularly! All of our are starting to include the tent site areas starting a few videos episodes back!

[@brian60093]

Cool video. Back before Irma you could walk over a mile east to more very private beaches. It’s all closed off now.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Some of the beaches were still closed when we shot this episode, hoping to go back there in 2021 and see how it looks now! TY for watching! Happy New Year!

[@veronicaRN]

Going there tomorrow...I can't believe it!

[@TheMcMillanExpress]

We cannot wait to experience this campground someday!! We’ve been to the state park, but that was pre-RV. We tried when we were in FL last, but couldn’t get a reservation on such short notice. Maybe next time!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yes, get down there. Stay on site 16 or 25!

[@TheRealWealthyRobinson]

Very helpful video

[@TravelbyDiego]

Awesome video!

[@MrWibeekeeper]

Good luck on getting a waterfront site

[@CampTravelExplore]

But sooo worth it right?

[@greenleavesofsummer9673]

Whether right on the water like #25 site or not, you feel the nice breeze Especially at night. No need for AC.

[@CampTravelExplore]

This is a real gem of Florida for sure!!!

[@martinime30]

Great video thank you!

[@CampTravelExplore]

So glad you enjoyed it, thank you for checking it out!!

[@yojansantes6224]

Thanks for the video! Would you be able to describe the location of the peninsula/beach area accessed through the overseas heritage trail? Have been searching for it online and can't seem to find it.

[@kikere1]

The name place is “Horseshoe Beach”

Beautiful! I’d like to get a Class C, any recommendations? Need toy hauler to haul my jet ski’s.😎❤️

[@CampTravelExplore]

Im so sorry that we aren't experts on RV's, we have owned a small Class A and it has been fine for us!

[@lucymurray3892]

We just got back

[@CampTravelExplore]

Hope you enjoyed it!!

[@Finspeed84]

I am trying to find he beach access on the heritage trail...

[@CampTravelExplore]

I'm sorry Jon, I hope you ended up finding it, don't know how i missed this comment back then

[@markreynolds9570]

All of the water sites look out to bridges? Nicely done. Thanks

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yes those are famous bridges and the sunsets going down behind them are amazing!

[@vicsaul5459]

check first. see campsite map, last time i was there some of the smaller tent sites are on the waterfront/ beach,...but booked ahead, maybe 6 months in advance

[@irinafennell2638]

I do not like any parks in Florida( swimming) next to the road, or highway, it's always too dirty, but when you go away, mmm that's where you find a hidden gem. I didn't like Cocoabeach at all or Daytona or Fort Laureldale

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thanks for checking it out for us!!

[@samantha1054]

I like to camp out of my minivan. Do they frown on that in the tent camping grounds? I was thinking of buying a cheap pop up tent and just place it next to my van. I am not sure if it's necessary. Thanks.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Hey Sam, I like your idea with the cheap pop up tent, then I don't think anyone could say anything! I liked how secluded the tent sites were from everything too! Glad this video was helpful to you! Thanks for commenting!

[@RoadtrippinwithTakacs]

Great info! 👍 One day we'll have to bring our camper down to South Florida to camp instead of just visiting family. 😁

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yes you have to, you see Florida in a whole new way!

[@jamesbordonali8858]

where is the location of the overseas highway trail that you did the video - with the peninsula.

[@CampTravelExplore]

From my recollection it was as you headed toward key west, you pass the entrance to Bahia Honda and as you went over the bridge, it was the next right. Hope that helps.

[@jwrappuhn71]

Excellent vid, how long can you RV for? thanks.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You so much. I believe the limit is 14 days at a time to stay there, which is generally the same at all Florida State Parks.

[@davenet60]

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]

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!

[@sharonanspach2734]

do you actually camp at these campgrounds? or just go to these spots to give us a tour and review?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Hi Sharon, we do both. I thought you might like that I am remembering to have the tent sites in these more often! I scout sights for myself on long trips so i get where I want to camp! We were in Marathon Key so decided to drive on down to Bahia Honda! We are in Oregon in July and are hitting a few state parks along the way there! Ty for watching and we always appreciate your feedback!

[@peterdoughty2285]

Wish they would give prices

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You for that feedback, it's a tough one because if you share pricing on the video and then over time it changes, that rubs people the wrong way also. If we put that info in the descriptions, are you a viewer who looks at the descriptions at all?

[@Bamaoutdoors]

Beautiful place thanks for the info. Can you reserve a particular site or is it first come first serve?

[@CampTravelExplore]

I don't think so, like all of the FL state parks you have to reserve in advance. Now some parks do save some sites for walk up, but you would need to call them to be sure. TY for watching!

[@vicsaul5459]

b h , is probably the most in demand state park, theres usually quite a waiting list, ..phone ahead first, especially these challenging times

[@srockguitar]

looks fantastic! do they allow swimming in the campground?

[@CampTravelExplore]

You can go right in from one of the waterfront sites! The beach is a short walk from the campground!

[@marciaeffinger7968]

Nice. Do they sewer hookup. Is it hard to get reservations? Ty for video. 😊

[@jbug308]

Reservations are extremely hard to get. Seems the campsites are all booked almost all year.

[@CampTravelExplore]

TY! They have water and electric hookup only!

[@carolynknisely2383]

What is the pricing?

[@CampTravelExplore]

I try to stay out of the pricing in the videos so down the road people don't complain to us for it when they change. Just curious though, are you a viewer that would look in the descriptions if that info was down there? just trying to get a read on that idea!

[@carolynknisely2383]

@@CampTravelExplore yes, just trying to get a general idea. Is Bahia Hondo just as expensive as far as state parks go? I am also sure that prices may vary by season.

[@CampTravelExplore]

From what I have seen, most Florida State Parks have are usually around the same prices or within 5-10 dollars of each other!

[@nordicferries]

Take me there! :)

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yesss, there is a reason its considered a top tw or three state park in FL right?

[@nordicferries]

@@CampTravelExplore definetly!

[@suarez__fishing2178]

Can u fish there?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yes, actually there was a great spot next to the campground right under the bridge where I saw folks fishing and they had shade from the sun because of the bridge!

[@hoodrich902]

Beware of no see ems

[@CampTravelExplore]

I hear ya

[@vicsaul5459]

the florida keys is home to the only indigenous palm tree, little palm , island,.. all the tall palm trees are not native to this part of the world,.. if u want to see the real florida. big lagoon state park, c; dont tell everyone, its a best kept secret.
