Bahia Honda State Park Campground

About

Bahia Honda State Park Campground sits on a 524-acre barrier island between Big Pine Key and the Seven Mile Bridge, offering some of the most sought-after camping in Florida. The park features three distinct camping areas totaling 80 sites. Buttonwood Campground (sites 1-48) is the largest and most versatile, accommodating RVs up to 50 feet with 30-amp electric and water hookups on gravel pads. Waterfront sites 12-25 offer direct channel and marina views. A modern bathhouse provides flush toilets and hot showers, with a dump station nearby. Sandspur Campground (sites 49-72) reopened in 2022 after Hurricane Irma damage and now offers 24 oceanfront sites for tents and camping rigs up to 23 feet. Each site includes electric and water hookups, a picnic table, and grill. Bayside Campground (sites 73-80) provides eight primitive sites with water hookups only, picnic tables, and grills. Accessing Bayside requires passing under the historic Bahia Honda Bridge with a strict 6'8" clearance. The park is renowned for Sandspur Beach and Calusa Beach, consistently ranked among Florida's best. A camp store and concession offer snacks, souvenirs, and rental gear including kayaks and snorkeling equipment. ADA-accessible sites are available at Buttonwood (sites 30, 31, 45, 46). Pets are welcome on leash throughout the campground.
