Feb. 11 - 14 CONCH REPLUBIC GATHERING Keywest Gathering, Sugarloaf Key KOA, mm 20
Historic Key West lies just 14 miles south. Set between the crystal-clear Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Hangout with us under swaying palm trees and sip frozen margaritas on the Duval Street, in Key West, dubbed “the Conch Republic.” Walk the narrow streets showcasing Conch architecture, breezy wood houses with lush tropical gardens, once home to pirates, treasure hunters, sailors, novelists like Hemingway and songwriters like Buffett. And enjoy the end of a perfect day with a sunset at Mallory Pier holding a ice cold beer. While you Yanks are freezing your behinds off

Anastasia State Park has a 139 site campground. Each site has a picnic table, an in-ground grill, fire ring and water. All sites are equipped with electricity, if needed. None of the sites have sewer hookups, but there is a dump station located in the campground. Each of the sites is located in a shady hardwood hammock, away from the blowing sand and salt spray of the beach. However, most sites are within walking distance to the beach. There are natural barriers between each site that allow privacy for the visitor.
