RVING AT THE EVENT

An RV offers a fantastic way to set up camp during the Key Lime Festival. During the summer heat in Key West, you'll love the chance to relax in your cozy camper. The festival doesn't offer special RV camping options, but the Florida Keys offer a variety of RV sites. Keep in mind that many of them require a bit of a drive from Key West, so you may want to bring a separate vehicle.

Leo’s Campground in Key West is one of the most affordable campgrounds in the Florida Keys. With sites that can fit RVs up to 42 feet long, this RV park has laundry facilities, Wi-Fi spots and water hookups to wash the sand off your feet.

On the east side of Key West, check out El Mar RV Resort. Here, you can wake up to views of the water and enjoy stunning sunsets over the ocean. This park offers 11 sites, six of which are located on the water. All sites come with full hookups, Wi-Fi and shared kayak docks. The gravel sites offer plenty of space for big rigs, and the paved roads are easy to navigate.

Nearby, Boyd's Campground also offers spectacular waterfront, partial water view and inland sites. Keep in mind that many spots here are back-in only. With full hookups, cable TV and concrete patios, this is a great place to relax. While you're in town, make sure to check out the many activities at Boyd's, or you can lounge by the pool, check out the game room or rent a kayak to explore the shore.

WHERE TO STAY

Key West offers a large selection of hotels and bed-and-breakfasts if you're not staying in an RV. Many are located on the west side of the island, so you can walk to most of the festival events. Book a waterfront-facing room at the luxurious Casa Marina Key West, or enjoy the pool at the Marquesa Hotel.

If you're on a tight budget, look to the hotels and inns located toward the interior of the island. Can't find a room near downtown? Look to the many waterfront properties that line US 1 on the northern and eastern edges of Key West. A little farther out, you'll find the occasional hotel situated next to the highway as it winds through the Florida Keys.

HOW TO GET THERE

Key West is located at the very end of the Florida Keys. The only route to the island is the Overseas Highway, a 113-mile portion of US 1 that runs from Homestead throughout the Keys. Whether you're taking an RV or a car, plan at least three hours for your trip.

PARKING

The streets on Key West are notoriously narrow, so it's a good idea to drive your RV to your campsite and plan to leave it there during the festival. The easiest way to get around the festival is on foot or by bike. If you're coming in a passenger car, head to the City of Key West Old Town Garage, the Key West Bight Parking Lot or the public parking area on Simonton Street. Alternatively, you can find limited street parking near the beaches and in residential neighborhoods.

TICKETS & PRICING

Ticket prices vary according to the event. For example:

• $55 for Key Lime Sip & Stroll

• $75 for How to Grow Your Own Key Lime Tree!

• $75 plus tax for Living the Key Lime Life Dinner

• $50 for Key Lime Bike Tours

• $95 plus tax for Key Lime Unity Table Dinner @ William’s Hall
