Stock Island Key West Florida

I have reservations at Leo's Campground on Stock Island Key West. Has anyone stayed there? just looking at Google Earth, it doesn't look like an easy place to get into with a 36 foot Fifth Wheel. If you have stayed there please give me any information you can/

Thanks.

We drove thru it last week and we will not fit. Our rig is just too large for it.

We have not stayed there, but driven by many times..... it will be a real tight squeeze for a 36 ft RV. Most sites are pretty tiny. Take a look on google earth and use the measuring tool (looks like a ruler icon) to check it out yourself.

If you told them you have a 36-foot fifth-wheel, they won't put you in a site that won't fit a 36-foot fifth-wheel. You don't need to measure the sites.

But you're right--it's not an easy place to get into with a big rig. We stayed there recently in a 40-foot motorhome. I backed in from the street and it was straightforward, but it's possible maneuvering could be complicated by how other people are parked in their sites.

A guy in a fifth-wheel (I'm guessing at least 35 feet) moved into the site next to mine one morning and asked me to move my car (which was fully in my site) so he could get in. I didn't mind doing it, even though I thought his stated plan to pull in past his site and back in around the laundry room wasn't sound. And sure enough, he tried it and failed, and last I saw he was going back out, to back in from the street. When I got back that night, he was ensconced, with his truck parked in the extra parking area in back.

We didn't talk to anybody in the office when we arrived, but I would imagine they have a lot of experience helping people get into their sites, so you might check with them when you arrive. The street it's on is a dead end and has very little traffic. There are a couple of businesses on one side that I'm sure are used to people backing big rigs into Leo's, and surely the people staying at Leo's aren't going to sit there and honk. So backing in from the street is no big deal, and this is coming from someone who HATES blocking traffic.

I do wonder, however, what my new neighbor would have done if I hadn't been there to move my car; he got there just minutes before I was taking off on my bicycle. Then again, having my car there might have forced him to do it right the first time.
