We’re SO Excited

Zephyrhills, Florida

We did it. 

We’re heading to the Florida Keys right after Christmas.

We’ll be staying on this nice little island.

Big Pine Key RV Campgrounds and Resorts   RV Campgrounds in Big Pine Key  Florida

I don’t think we’ll be getting one of these sites though.

We’ll be in the “cheap seats.”   Probably more like these.  Gosh, that motor home in the bottom left of the picture looks almost like ours!  Except for the awning over the door, it could be us!

The weekly rate for prime season (winter) is $798 per week.  Our two week stay would be costing us $1596, and probably more because I’m sure the 11% tax would be added on top of that.  But, since we have our wonderful Thousand Trails membership, we’ll be paying a whole $42 for two weeks!  Gotta love it!

We decided to cancel our stay at Hillsborough River State Park and head to the Keys right after Christmas.  We’ll have to pay a cancellation fee, but that’s okay.   I’m getting excited already!

  3. Big Pine Key! There's a marine research laboratory there, or there was in 1977. Living was pretty primitive back then on the Key, with twice daily flushes in the dormitories. I'll bet you can flush more, though.

    It sounds like a lovely stay, and what a steal!

  6. I think you guys made a very wise decision, both in changing your destination AND in your Thousand Trails membership! Outstanding!! I can't wait to return to the Keys. Remember: off Matacumbe Key, head one way to Lignumvitae Key and the other direction to Indian Key and the wreck of the Don Pedro. Enjoy yourselves!!

  8. Looks great we stayed there last year. We had booked in the cheap seats bit the wind was unbearable so we upgraded over. It was worth it.
