The last of the Keys campgrounds for us to experience was Curry Hammock. A newer campground, only about 5 years, it is well designed and well maintained. It is small with only 28 sites, 25 without the camp hosts. It beside the ocean with a few of this sites facing it. But even the back sites are only a short walk away. No site is bad here. The kayaking here is better than Long Key with more sheltered keys to paddle around. A bike trail into Marathon just 2 miles south is nice and they have a nice hiking trail one mile from the park entrance.
The beach here is small and man made. There is sand for awhile but soon you get into a clay like sticky mud that will suck off your shoes. So not so good for swimming. But there are trees on the beach and picnic tables to make your beach time very pleasant.
Lori and Chris came and stayed with us for 2 days. We enjoyed having company. The trailer did fine with company, but sure glad Lori and Chris aren’t big people. That couch bed makes sleeping a little cozy!
We purchased some fresh fish and had a fish fry one evening. Yum! Yellowtail and Mangrove Snapper. Wish we could get some more time in the Keys for next year but the competition is so stiff for sites. Looks like we will only have 2 weeks in Jan. 2010, but I’m not complaining, some folks can’t get that.
We are in Pennekamp Coral Reef SP in Key Largo now. I’ll post a blog before we leave here Sunday since they have WiFi here at the park. That is a great feature!
