I stayed the Christmas 2011 week for 3 days in cabin number 2 with my two daughters. The view is wonderful and you can fish right off the dock area (no catches to write home about). The Sandspur beach area is picture perfect and the water is usually gin clear. We even launched our tandem kayak right from the back of the cabin area. I will say though for a one bedroom (double bed with twin bunks) that you pay $162.50 per night, you wouldn't expect to check in and find that all three beds were stripped to the mattresses. I understand that there is high demand for the cabins, but if I stayed again I will just stay in a nearby hotel or stay in the Sandspur campsites directly on the beach. The cabins aren't really cabins they look more like Section 8 housing on the interiors. I personally love the cabin feeling with limited amenities but when you pay that price you expect more than that atmosphere. For those not familar with this area of Florida please bring your bug spray and citronella candles no matter what time of year. It was December and the mosquitos and no-see-ums (biting bugs) were out in droves! If money or value is not a concern I would stay here for the view and convenience of being within the State Park, if not consider other options nearby and visiting during the day.

on our way to Key West, we stopped at Bahia Honda state park beach. This is the best thing we did in our whole trip and made sure to spend long time on our way back. This is a great beach with not so much crowd, untra fine sand, clear water and shallow water for a wider distance into the ocean which leaves us plenty of room to play inside the water. overall excelent beach!

We just spent the night at Bahia Honda's camping grounds and we had the best time ever! We just wanted to get away from Miami for a day and decided that camping close to home. Bahia Honda is like being a world away but in our backyard. The bathrooms were clean, all facilities were wonderful and in working order. We had cabin 66 on the beach.

We stayed at Bahia Honda for 2 weeks in the end of Sept 2011. After reading some of the reviews, I was leary of what to expect and the opposite happen. "The bathrooms" were clean. They did not smell like a sewage dump. Never smelled bathrooms at all. They were maintained twice a day. They DO NOT offer laundry machines. You do not want to do laundry on the islands unless it is needed. Closest Laundry mat is 6 miles away and expensive. "THERE IS NO TV SERVICE OFFERED" Bring DVDs. "The Bugs" are bad. Mosquitos and No-Seeums will eat you up. Your camp sites are cut right into the mangroves, expect to get bit! "The Rangers" were very nice. They spoke and waved to you. Never was rude. "Pets are Welcomed". We traveled with our 2 little dogs and they were able to go anywhere but beaches, pavillans, and bathrooms. I think they should offer a Dog Beach area for dogs, but do not. Small dogs will have a problem walking on grounds. The campsites and roads are small gravel and my dogs had a tough time walking. The campsites are packed hard, so most tent stakes would bend and break. Bring landscapers stakes and there will be no problem. The first problem we had was you share your water with your neighbor. So bring extra waterhoses. We had to go buy right away to have water, we needed 3 together to reach camper. One last thing, The highway does run thru the park, the traffic noises were not unbearable. Had a great time, in Sept it is still HOT. It rained once everyday, but quick. It is very windy at campsites so be prepared.
