We stayed on the Dredger Key RV park. Overall a great RV place with decently large spaces. We spent 2 weeks here and it was great. There is free wi-fi but it keeps choppy. The laundry rooms are coin-only, the coin change machine was empty the entire time we were there. Some idiot was putting food in the bathroom trash cans, so some random animal was pulling over and making a mess. Some random tips: If you want to do the Duval Crawl, go to the Navy Lodging on Trumbo Point (looks like standard military lodging/prison with "Fly Navy" on it). Request a room at the Truman Annex then walk from there to Duval St. The Truman Annex is 24/7 and it has the 24/7 mini-shoppette on it. If you want to grill out, a cover is required by the rules and the wind. Do a party boat sea fishing tour. Everyone caught some fish. The crew will fillet the fish for you and recommend a place to get them cooked.
Had a nice stay here on the waterfront (Sunset View Park). A few tidbits: Staff and hosts were friendly and helpful. Restroom / shower (N end) needed more custodial and maintenance attention. It's unsecure and non campers use it as well. Tiki bar next to the base marina doesn't take cash. The base marina rents boats, but your boating safety credential must be in their database, so call ahead for details. Parked at Trumbo Point lot (outside the security gate) then walked into town. Displayed campground tag on dashboard. Higgs Beach is nice with FREE parking / restrooms / food. Straw Hat Beach at the Truman Annex is nice, but didn't see any amenities. Recommend a visit to the Marina at the Boca Chica part of the base. There were plenty of spaces here at this time. A note about insurance for travel trailers / pop ups. Have proof that your rig is covered. Many insurance companies extend coverage to towed equipment while it is attached to the tow ball (or accidentally breaks away). Once you park it in between two $100,000+ Class As and drive away, it has to be covered.
This was our first time in Key West FL since we live in CA. (It's a long way to go for an East Coast Ocean view campsite.) We can't say enough good things about the NASKW RV Campground; (Sigsbee RV Park). The Camp Host (Mark) was so helpful and spent the extra time and effort to ensure our Campsite and accommodations were perfect. Since we arrived late due to traffic, Mark was very accommodating and quickly met us at the RV parking area and escorted us to our site. He helped with parking, and gave us very thorough explanation of the facilities etc. since this was our first time in the area. The Staff was very helpful on check-in the next morning and clarified many logistic issues that apparently were incorrect given in the reviews etc. Yes you do have to fill out lots of paperwork etc but that's a normal procedure for most Military installations. I would like to clarify the reservation system; 1. If you book via the https://hmsnvreservations.dodlodging.net website, You receive the site that you booked on those dates! We did a 5 month booking in advance since we were traveling 40 days on the road and had to lock in dates for our route. 2. Many reviews (older now) stated that when you first arrive you might be placed in a holding area for up to a few days before you can get into your site. NOT true. This might have been an issue prior to the reservation system but no longer. 3. This was one of the main reasons why I only booked for a few days. We are in a 2019 Newmar RV which is basically controlled by electronics/Solar etc and I did not want to run a diesel generator all day to keep the wife and 2 small dogs cool in AUG. 4. Booking with the reservation system is the only way to secure you have a full hookup site on the dates you have selected. 5. If you don't use the reservation system then it will be a random event if you can get a site during off and on season. The Amenities/Facilities are fantastic for the price you pay! For what we paid during the week would have cost us one night in the Keys at many of the local RV resorts. Granted you must be a Military affiliate to be able to stay at this location but our service is being rewarded for the 20+ years we spent in the Military. As some reviews stated best to go to the Base family Ticket office right next door to purchase discount tickets for various activities in Key West. Some Favorite attractions were the THE KEY WEST BUTTERFLY & NATURE CONSERVATORY and Key West Shipwreck Treasure Museum. Additional information: https://www.navymwrkeywest.com.

Very nice place. Close to everything. Staff very helpful and friendly. No complaints there at all. Note: If you need an Epass or ID better stop at Boca Chica Base before going to the campSite. Bought several tickets for places in Key West at a very good discount. Personnel at Boca Chica base very friendly and courteous and fast. The Epass is good for all military facilities in the Key West area, excellent !!!!!!!! Recommend you contact the campsite before arrival and state your ID situation and guests, they will advise of you are OK or need to stop at the base. I was not aware of this and had to take the guest to Boca Chica for the ID but it was very smooth, had known we would had stopped there first. I did not had any dogs with me but saw several ones around, I recommend you call ahead and educate with their rules. Do recommend it !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks
This was our first visit to Key West and with the simply crazy prices out in town for RV sites, any military campground in Key West is an outstanding deal. After staying in a dry camp, ocean view lot for a week we were able to move into a full hook up site. While it was the 2nd row from the front, it didn't bother us at all with still great views during the days and of course sitting at the waters edge in our chairs with drinks to watch the sunset was just spectacular! Campground hosts were friendly and helpful, the office staff (Alvin & Dean) were great to work with. Many places to eat close to the RV park and of course many different tours are available downtown. The only negative is the base does not check ID cards at the Sigsbee gate when you first enter. From time to time there is a security vehicle parked there, but that is rare. With military housing, a school and a gas station available, I would think security should at least check everyone who drives onto the base. Security does drive through the RV park and on base, but it seems anyone can just drive on the base, buy cheaper gas when it is available or take a walk along "our" beach. We will be back for sure next year and hope to stay at least 2 months.
