"UPDATE... No fault of Elks, but I would not recommend using the Weather Sense insurance at booking. We had a change to our reservation and when I asked Weather Sense to ensure we're covered, they refused to cover us during our changed reservations. Lesson learned, DO NOT USE!!! Florida Elks is still a great location for RV Stay, but need to be an active Elk member. Have to use their reservation website. The camp host John and his wife were great. You need to show before 5pm."

"Wonderful Flag Day Ceremony on Sat, June 14, 2025. Amazing group of volunteers & patriotic Americans. Thanks for all you do to build a sense of community in the Florida Keys!"

"It's a VERY pretty setting, complete with a small dog run and mini warf to walk out and enjoy the sunsets. However, I felt somewhat put upon with many of their "rules", like no dog pens - which I very much need because I have 2 special needs dogs. And I found the parking situation challenging too, so be prepared to try ti find a place to park your extra vehicle one day and then be boxed in with tons of cars being parked in the RV Park area on nights when there is an event going on. I've stayed at many Elks Lodges all over the East Coast and have always been treated warmly and felt so welcomed, but not here. If I ever go to The Keys again, I will stay elsewhere."

"We parked in the RV park for a week. They advertise 12 spots but the camp host occupies one. Nice gravel level spots with water and 50 amp electric. They say there is a dump but think it's hard to get to. They have a blue boy available if needed. Nice view of the ocean and beautiful sunsets. Lodge has bingo on Sundays, Show me the money on Mondays. Kitchen is only open Monday and Friday. Not sure about bingo night."

"My husband and I have been here numerous times since 2020. We've stayed in the campground from theee days to two months and loved all our time here. We always had one or two dogs with us, the beagle enjoyed the laid back Keys lifestyle and the other loved being active with her walks and playing ball. We never felt unwelcome, everyone was friendly and helpful. The lodge is always clean, bartenders are friendly and the food was always good. Whenever we go to the Keys the Elks is always on the list of a place to go to, if for no other reason than the amazing sunsets."

— Susan Wheeler
