    Golf cart riding

    We stayed there a few years ago and it was a great place to stay. So many kids to play with. There was a pool that we used. The kids were able to fish. We saw a manatee while in the marina! Staff was very helpful. We rented a golf cart to travel down to Mallory square.

    From the point of placing a reservation to actually arriving and setting up, the staff was absolutely superb! Very accommodating, very professional and customer service oriented. The park itself is very well capped up, the pool is being restored and I'm sure it's going to be beautiful. There Registration and store area is very clean and very well supplied with shirts and hats and the most important thing ice cream. It is centrally located for pizza or even hog fish and Grill all very close.

    Our camp spot

    During the summer of 2022, our family enjoyed a month, long road trip from Los Angeles to Key West and back again. It was a dream trip for all of us, with many awesome stops along the way, seeing places we have never been, and may never visit together again. My wife spent six months planning every detail that she could, including our stay at Boyd's key west campground. It's probably worthy of mentioned that we towed a 25 foot camper trailer all the way across country. As we got closer to Boyd's, I did start to notice that the streets of Stock Island (that's the key just above Key West, Mildred) got a little, more, narrow, and, notably, filled with chickens and iguanas! When we pulled into the campground, however, there was plenty of space to negotiate the turns and situate ourselves. The campsite that we had selected months in advance was one of the waterfront spots. A simple, crushed gravel pad with full hook ups, some hedges for privacy, and a requisite coconut palm tree was a nice setting to park our trailer for our four day stay. The campground featured clean bathrooms and showers, a recreation center for the kids, a swimming, pool, laundry facilities, a launch ramp, a swim beach... Which came in handy to watch our kayaks into the bay... And barbecue pits at some of the sites. The staff was absolutely phenomenal and kind, helping us with reservations for parasailing, and giving us flawless directions around town so we could make our reservations for things like our trip to the dry Tortugas on time. Keeping it real: the only downside to our stay -- something that was out of control of Boyd's, and more of a problem for the greater Key West community-- the Sargasso weed that washes up on the shore in the warm waters of the keys, decomposes and stinks like rotten eggs. If you've ever smelled low tide in a back bay or harbor area, it's kind of like that... Add in the warm tradewinds, and a little humidity, and it hits you pretty good when you first get there. During our stay, we kind of got used to it, but it was definitely a thing. For what it's worth, it was the same at most of the beaches we visited, but perhaps more pronounced in the relatively still waters behind Stock Island, near the mangroves. Speaking of the mangroves, we took two tandem kayaks on our trip, and did some paddling in the waters off of Boyd's. In some places, the water was only a few inches deep and bath tub warm. We explored the mangroves and saw numerous fish, birds, and invertebrates. Our family absolutely looks forward to some future trip to stay at Boyd's again... I can't imagine when that might be, so for the time being, our few days there, serve as one of our most awesome family memories vacationing together.

    Staff is easy going friendly and happy Grounds are immaculate Lots of waterfront gorgeous sites Safe here Pool great You don't feel on top of one another baking in the sun Clean bathrooms and showers Yes chickens all over and roosters because they are protected here in Key West Yes an airport down the road so a plane flies around occasionally Great price for location

    Beautiful Campground! Pristine landscaping and water front. Staff is friendly and the giftshop/store is super cool. There is a Cuban food truck on the premises that has coffee & bagels in the morning. The bathrooms are clean and large. We saw a pod of Manatees next to the dock. A little pricey but worth it

    Chickens!

    Second time here at Boyd's and will not be the last! The service is over the top wonderful, they greet you, they check you in, they take you to your site and help you park! Can't wait to come back again and again and again!

    This was a really fun place to stay. Bathrooms were clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful! We asked to move camp sites because I had problems walking to the bathrooms. They were very accommodating. There is a beach on the backside of the property. There were lots of amenities and things to do on property. The pool was clean and well kept. There is a small general store on property. Prices weren't to bad. There are lots of chickens and roosters running around the place. It was interesting to see. I would recommend this campsite to anyone looking for someplace close to the end of the keys!

    We had a great time staying at Boyd's campground during the holidays. We had a primitive tent campsite that fit my adventure van perfectly! We were lucky to have the boat dock right behind our site which was east to launch the paddleboards. The campsites are pretty tight, but it fits the key west vibe. Everyone was very respectable and having a great time! The location of the campground is great - only 15 minutes to Duval and less than .5 mile to Hogfish Restaurant. The staff was outstanding! So helpful and constantly driving around to answer questions and provide assistance. The bathrooms were thoroughly cleaned daily and there were plenty for all the campers. Boyd's also had a raffle with Fury for a snorkel and glass bottom boat trip! We actually one of the glass bottom boat tours. I highly recommend this site and will be returning soon!

    Look, you don't visit Key West (especially on a budget) for quiet seclusion. And this is no different. It's not "camping," it is a "place to sleep in a tent" (or the mobile accomodations of your choice). That said, it was a GREAT place to sleep in a tent. The staff was lovely. Highlights: check in woman advised me of a great alternative to Uber. Another staff member gave me a ride in his golf cart when I appeared lost. Very sweet people. Nice common areas to unwind, under cover. Bathrooms were wonderfully clean. I believe this to be a combination of good cleaning (obviously), and other visitors having a general respect for the property. We sauntered back to our tent site both nights around 11pm and it was drop-dead quiet. Certainly there is noise from the CITY around it, but we observed no noisy visitors or vehicle generators. Anyone complaining about noise is not considering that this campground is not situated in a remote area, but firmly located in the middle of a lot of action. It is what it is. If you seek absolute quiet, maybe don't sleep outdoors in the middle of a major tourist city with an adjacent naval air base. But yeah, we were super happy with Boyds.

    Review for TENT camping: Camping on the ocean looks so beautiful and serene. I set up my tent facing the water but it was also facing the highway, a Shell gas station, and houseboats that left their generators on ALL night. It was incredibly loud. I got about three hours of sleep and that's with earplugs. The location is also under some airplane path and you can hear the freeway noise, motorcycles, ambulances, etc. I figured I might have well just been back in Sacramento camping under the I-5 overpass. I'm NOT joking. So the generator noise really was horrible but it's not Boyd's fault. They actually can't enforce anything to cut back on that noise... Sites are really packed in as well. Can't even do a little toot in your tent without your neighbor hearing you. There aren't a ton of tent campsites but I did ask for a different site the following night which faces the other direction. It was better than the night prior; however, still not "peaceful." The other campers and people at Boyd's were respectful with the curfew and noise. There were no problems there. It was just the surrounding noise from the location itself. The grounds were clean and the pool was very refreshing. Just be warned of noise if tent camping and try to get a site number about 28-32.

    Check in, gift shop / store & pool

    Absolutely gorgeous beach! It's very rocky though so wear water shoes!!!…read moreWe also got married on the east beach side and it was magical! Highly recommend! There is a snack shop with food and alcoholic drinks, bathrooms and a small souvenir shop in the middle of the beach.

    Our cruise port day was so hot and humid. Being from Florida now, you'd think we'd be used to it,…read morebut we were still melting! So, we wanted to cool down for a bit. We were traveling by golf cart, so I thought it was neat that we could drive right into the park. The signage was fairly easy to follow, and we followed the signs to the beach. They have lockers, bathrooms, and a snack/bar shack. You can't bring your own alcohol in, but they do sell beer and wine coolers. There are picnic tables in a mostly shaded area, as well as a few showers to rinse the sand off. We went a little farther down the beach and jumped in! The beach was really nice, but be warned, it's super rocky. I'm originally from Cape Cod, so my feet are used to that kind of terrain, but my husband... not so much! We spent maybe an hour here before continuing on our golf cart journey, but we definitely feel it's worth a stop if you're looking to cool down. The water was much more pleasant than some of the other beaches we visited that day, where there was a pretty strong smell. Honestly, a lot of the beaches had the stench of intestinal rot from a labyrinth! So if you're spending the day in Key West and want somewhere to cool off, Fort Zachary State Park is worth checking out!
