Cedar Key Sunset Isle RV Park & Motel

Great visit here on a rainy weekend. Sites are kind of tight, but it is a small island. Excellent views and kayak access. Will definitely come back in better weather and take advantage of kayaking and fishing.

Lovely eclectic RV park. Kinda of has a 60’s vibe with painted buildings and bright colored picnic tables. Three shower/​bathrooms which were clean. There is also a laundry area with plenty of machines. We are in a 40ft class A, and our site backs up to bay with a lovely dock right behind the RV. Full hook-​ups with sewer, water, ³⁰⁄₅₀ amp, cable and WiFi. Lovely on site restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch. Just ate breakfast there and it was awesome! Staff has been very friendly! We are already looking forward to returning to Sunset Isle RV park.

We stayed here for five days in January. We had specifically came out to visit other RV’ers who were staying and recommended it. We really enjoyed our time in Cedar Key and this RV campground had some good and some bad.
The RV campground is older and its layout was probably carved by organic growth, rather than pre-​planned out. Driving our 36′ RV around the RV campground was difficult and for the first time ever, I had to ask someone to move their car so I could park in the spot.
The flip side is everyone is very friendly, they have an onsite restaurant, and oh yeah… beautiful waterfront sunset views. The family would head to a dock and enjoy some time watching the sun go down every day. During the morning dog walk, I would stop to enjoy the beautiful nature that surrounds the RV campground.
This RV park had water, sewer, electric and cable hookups. There was a laundry room, which was clean and had some newer machines. The WiFi was good but not always reliable. I was disappointed to find there was no playground nor dedicated dog walk.
When we did leave, I found it hard to leave. The town and the RV campground were very laid back. I never once felt stressed out during my stay, since Cedar Key is at the end of the road there was no road traffic or noise.
Would I recommend this park? Absolutely. Would we come back? We are debating returning to Cedar Key in a month, but we will absolutely come back.
Informational: We travel in a 36′ Class A RV.

Owners were super nice. Talk about a laid back place. The rv park is a couple of miles from town so we rented golf carts from the rv park. We walked it one night and the sky and water views were beautiful We cruised the street legal golf carts all around town, day and night, up and down the side streets, and did not miss a nook or cranny of this quiet, quaint, charming old town. The town has many buildings constructed in the 19^th century and you can still imagine how the town looked way back when. There is a small tourist section along the waters edge has a few restaurants and shops as well as the same in town. The views were beautiful as well as the people in town. We dined at small cafes and shopped at local seafood store, Southern Cross Sea Farms, located right down the street from the rv park. The store is also a hatchery for clams. We enjoyed the tour of the hatchery and found it fascinating looking at the newborn clams under a microscope. The grocery store in town has a great selection and you will not want for anything. You can rent boats, go on a boat tour of the historic keys, or get an air boat ride. We did none of those and just relaxed in this laid back town. We can truly say we had a BLAST.

Beautiful views, piers, wild life, nice owners, decent facilities, convenient and yummy café. Motel rooms are clean and decorate in old school FL style.

This is a great, funky, well-​run RV Park situated on the road leading into Cedar Key, about a mile from the city.
Lured here by new full-​timer RV friends, I was lucky enough to get a waterfront space with its own dock — not private by any stretch, on which I enjoyed sunsets and talking with the locals, one of whom had a crab trap in the water and caught several large blue shell crabs.
And by Florida standards, it was not that spendy.
To top it off, they have an on-​site café with excellent burgers, Grouper sammies and some of the best ribs I have ever had, smoked right on site.
After three months of engine noise and angry, drunk clients in the parking lot at my previous RV park, this sounded like a Nepal Monastery by comparison. With the lights out at night, there was almost zero light pollution, a gazillion stars and blessed quiet.
Bruce, Melissa and Roberta, the owner, wife and front desk person, respectively, could not have been nicer, friendlier and more helpful.
A significant number of the friendly campers I spoke with were regulars who book there spot as much as a year in advance. It’s easy to see why. It’s a very nice park.
The WiFi was surprisingly accessible for a shared environment, but I still recommend you bring your own if you want reliable, peppy throughput.
The actual city of Cedar Key is small, funky and low-​key. I spoke with a number of small business owners there, always asking how the BP Oil spill affected their business. Without exception, they said they were dealt far more damage by the news media than the oil spill, which never got within 125 miles. But the media scared away a very large percentage of their business.
