About: Curry Hammock is made up of a group of islands in the Middle Keys, with public access to swimming, a playground, picnic tables, grills and showers on the ocean side of Little Crawl Key. The hardwood hammocks found on these tropical islands support one of the largest populations of thatch palms in the United States. Mangrove swamps, seagrass beds and wetlands provide vital habitats for tropical wildlife.
A 28-site campground, located within view of the Atlantic Ocean, is open year-round. The main restroom has composting toilets and solar-powered hot showers that meet ADA requirements. All sites have a gravel parking area for cars and RVs, and most have an adjoining sandy area for pitching a tent, with the exception of #3, 10-19, 21, 26, and 28. Tents may be placed on any site, but the sites with sand tent pads are preferred for tenting. Site 1 is ADA accessible. Access to the beach is between #13 and #15. Each campsite comes equipped with a picnic table, charcoal grill, water and 20/30/50-amp electrical service. A dump station is available.
The campground fills quickly in winter, so make your plans early. Visitors can enjoy kayaking from the beach, a 1.5-mile nature trail and bicycling along the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail. Launching of powerboats, ganoes or other motorized vessels is not allowed. Kayak and canoe launches are allowed.
Pets are welcome, but must be confined, leashed (up to six feet in length) or otherwise under the physical control at all times. Maximum RV length = 70 ft.
Reservations: Reservations may be made up to 11 months in advance through ReserveAmerica.
