Marathon, Florida

We planned to spend some time on the Florida Keys and started looking for suitable campgrounds in January. Due to Hurricane Irma that hit the Keys last year, every campground between Key West and Marathon was closed and some are still closed and will not be up until the end of 2018.

We dedided on Jolly Roger as it is right on the Golf of Mexico and “Wheeling It” had done a good video about the campground. It was available for the dates we wanted, at least after some juggling around with dates prior to Memorial Day at which time it was already completely booked. We knew the Keys were not going to be inexpensive, but then we also knew that the chance of coming back was slim.

So we splurged on a site right on the seawall to get the most out of our stay. After all, you only live once and these are the rewards

and were rewarded with some spectacular sunsets

and the occasional rainbow

How do I close this entry? Beautiful views, right on the ocean, Paradise?! All in all a perfect first 10 days and worth the price for the campground.
