Address: Bluewater Key RV Resort, Lot, 2950 US Hwy 1, Key West 33040 (near MM 14) In the Keys, US Highway 1, also known as the Overseas Highway, is our Main Street. The best way to get around is to know the Mile Marker (MM) of your destination. These little green signs that dot our highway every mile begin in Key West at MM 0 (zero) and end in Florida City with MM 127, so you will work you way down to us at Mile Marker 14.3 (14 point 3 not one hundred forty three). Getting to Bluewater Key from the North - The Florida Turnpike Extension ends in Florida City (near Homestead), where it flows onto US Highway 1 Southbound. From this point, you have 113 miles to go. Do not count on making 113 miles in two hours. You will be lucky to average 45 miles/hr. Plan on 2-3/4 to 3+ hours for the trip from Florida City to Bluewater Key; allow more to stop and smell the roses. Warning: If dark is approaching, please consider stopping. There is a stretch where Key Deer are protected. The speed limit there is 35 after dark and is strictly enforced. Numerous RV/Key deer wrecks occur each season, and repairs (and tickets) can be costly. And, the drive is beautiful, with vistas from bridges that one should not miss! Also, it is not easy to get situated at our park after dark. The park features low level lighting. No one complains about bright lights bothering their sleep, but it is not great for backing into a space after dark. Bluewater Key RV Resort is between MM 15 14, at MM 14.3 Approaching from up the Keys, you are getting close to Bluewater when you pass the Sugarloaf Lodge (MM 17). Start slowing two miles after the Lodge. Watch the left side for Bluewater Key sign (blue letters on white background). 1. Turn left onto Bluewater Drive (just past the bus bench--hard to spot the turn the first time). 2. After turning left on Bluewater, take left side of Bluewater Drives Y for park entrance. 3. See pgs 4-5 now for info on tow cars, dollies, boats, etc. before you enter the park 4. Enter gate code at pad on right side of road, just before the gate at entrance to park. Warning: If you miss your left turn onto Bluewater Drive, you have to go a few miles to turn around. The closest turn around that will easily accommodate RVs with car in tow is the Circle K Market on the left at MM 11. If you do the turn around, you are approaching from the Key West direction. Come 3 miles back from the Circle K, and make a right turn onto Bluewater Drive. RV Stopping Spots in Florida City Homestead - If you get to the end of the Turnpike late in the day and wish to stop, here are some options for overnighting (skip to #3 for my favorite): 1. WalMart at next to last turnpike exit US1 North. The US 1 N exit ramp ends near an entrance to a WalMart 24-hour Supercenter. (Phone 305-242-4447). Good groceries here. Some owners and guests overnight here, but the night crowd seems rough to me, and I dont like overnighting in this WalMart. Ive also heard the local police will hassle RVers at night. 2. There is a city park near the WalMart that guests have said is OK. We have never stayed there. People who have stayed there say it is fine. Florida City Campsite (305) 248-7889. Take the WalMart exit - US 1 N - from the turnpike. Do NOT turn right on US1 at the bottom of the exit to go to WalMart. Cross US 1 at the bottom of the exit. The campground is a few blocks straight ahead of you. Full hookups. No reservations, but people say there are usually spots. Honor system after hours. Bonus: near Farmers Market. 3. In our opinion, by far the best option here in Homestead/Florida City is an RV Park, Southern Comfort RV Resort, that can be reached by exiting the turnpike at the end onto US 1 south; turn left (east) at the first light (Palm). After turning left onto Palm Drive, the park is on the right in a couple blocks. Resort is a an exaggeration, but it is better than #2, above. You can specifically request a pull through space so you dont have to disconnect tow cars/5th wheels, and there are some pretty good restaurants and shopping within a block or two.

STOPS YOU MIGHT NEED TO MAKE EN ROUTE, ALONG HWY 1 Gas/Diesel/Propane Stops between Homestead and Bluewater Key - The best plan is to fill up with both on the mainland this will save you at least 10 to 20 cents per gallon. But if you need fuel, since it is sometimes hard to spot gas/diesel stations that accommodate large rigs, here are ones we have used for our rigs. Let me know if you find another for the list: 1. Key Largo Shell On your left heading south, MM 99.8. Diesel + gas. 2. Hess On your left, heading south, in front of a small strip mall, just past the Shell in Key Largo; about MM 99.5 or so. Diesel + gas. 3. Big Pine Paradise Petroleum, on your left, heading south, MM 30. This station has gas, diesel propane, but is not easy to enter/exit and has been reported by my guests as dirty and unfriendly to non-locals... use only if you must get fuel immediately. 4. Summerland Chevron, I think; left, heading south, MM 25. GAS ONLY, but good access. 5. Summerland - Dions Quick Mart; on left, heading south, near MM 25. Diesel gas. Nice people, not my preferred diesel spot; I have had water in fuel light twice after fueling here, and had to pay for draining/replacing fuel filter. Their fuel fill inlets appear to be underwater whenever we have a heavy rain. 6. Dions Mobil MM 10.5, on right, as you head into Key West This is past the entrance...
