Bahia Honda State Park · caps RVs at 40 ft
Bahia Honda's 80 electric sites at Mile Marker 37 are the most-coveted state-park reservation in Florida — 40-ft cap, 11-month booking window, salt spray ages every gasket on the rig.

Year-round
Mile Marker 37 on the Overseas Highway buys access to the single most-coveted state-park RV reservation in Florida — 80 sites split across Buttonwood, Sandspur, and Bayside loops, electric and water hookups, 40-ft cap at most sites, year-round. Bayside puts the rig 30 feet from open Florida Bay; Buttonwood is sheltered hammock. Hurricane damage from Irma (2017) closed Sandspur for two years; the rebuilt loop reopened in 2019 with a higher elevation pad system. The 11-month booking window means RVs queue digitally the second the calendar opens at 8:00 a.m. ET. Salt spray + tropical humidity ages every dump-valve gasket and slide-out seal at double the rate of mainland storage — plan for it. The historic Bahia Honda Rail Bridge is the iconic ruined-trestle photo most people associate with the park.
