RV rental Long Key State Park, FL: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Given the park's gorgeous location in the Florida Keys, it shouldn't come as a surprise to discover that much of the activity in Long Key State Park takes place on, in, and around the water. The simplest way to make the most of the park's Atlantic Ocean access is to go for a swim. There are designated areas set aside for anyone wanting to take a dip, and you'll be thankful for their presence during the sweltering summer months. The waters in the park boast the beautiful turquoise tones for which this part of the world is famous. The swimming areas are calm and shallow, which means they're usually suitable for campers of all ages. If you want to get a taste of what life is like under the water, you'll also find designated snorkeling areas in the park. There's plenty of seagrass covering the sandy bottom. Keep your eyes peeled for fish darting this way and that as you swim by. For those who'd prefer to stay on top of the water, paddling is another popular pastime in the park. The shallow waters are once again a real asset here, offering paddlers excellent views of the aquatic life just beneath the surface. You can rent kayaks from the Ranger Station, offering a wonderfully relaxing and convenient way to explore the park's beautiful shoreline. The other main attraction for park visitors is, of course, fishing. With pristine water pretty much everywhere you look, the Florida Keys are best known as one of the best sport fishing destinations anywhere in the world. If you're planning on fishing within the park, please note that there are no boat ramps within the park itself. You'll also need to comply with regulations concerning the size and number of fish you catch, as well as how and when you catch them. But if you do decide to head out of the park, you won't have to drive very far at all before you find a fishing charter business. There are more than a dozen charter operators within a half-hour drive of the park, so do a little research to find one that can offer the fishing experience you're craving.
