A good place to winterize/de-winterize. Less than a mile from I-295, convenient to shopping. Quiet. Haven't been there in the summer, so don't know what it's like then, but it's a great winter stop for us. Rate is approximate.
"Closest campground to Key West"...but if you don't tow, it still ain't convenient. The. city bus "runs on island time" and is a trip...in many ways. Doing it again, we'd stay at Bahia Honda and day-trip. That said, it's a nice campground...on the water, lots of amenities...but the surrounding neighborhood is sort of iffy. But, what the heck...everyone's got to do it once.
And, yes, the rate is per NIGHT.
This is a Passport America park (hence the reasonable rate). Some spots on the water, and they seem to be the transient spots! Quiet, and 5 minutes from Cedar Key. Accessible off-season, owner says it's crowded October to May. Very worth the drive, if you want some great seafood and old Florida charm. Be sure to ask for the PA rate.

Free, but you get what you pay for
The store allows overnight parking. It's free, friendly and well-lit, but very noisy. They ask that you register, if you arrive while the store is open, but request that you park "along the trees, in the back of the lot." This area backs directly on the Maine Turnpike! Traffic was noisy and constant all night. I didn't sleep well. Good if you're traveling and need to stop for the night - for us, in early spring, when nothing else was open - but otherwise, not worth the stop.
Flat, paved sites. Open year-round, with water at a central location during the winter. Manager says most sites are seasonal during the summer, so I'm not sure of availability then. A great spot if you're in New England in the winter - mostly empty, with a half dozen permanent residents. Half an hour from Nashua and from the Fitchburg MBTA commuter rail. Not near much else - except a wonderful maple syrup farm/pancake house (Parkers?) just up the road. Definitely on our list when we're in New England for the holidays! Price quoted is their winter rate. It isn't cheap, but nice winter camping is hard to find in this area.
Family-run, management on site. Pool, store, rec room, lp by the pound. Friendly, helpful, staff. Wooded, but somewhat small and close together sites. Not cheap, but convenient for us. My only (big?) complaint is that the MBTA commuter train begins it's run about 5am and sounds it's horn at several grade crossings. You do get used to it...after a day or two. Otherwise a nice campground. We stay there often.
Scenic. Very quiet. Pick your own site, most with W&E only. Handy to downtown Savannah. We love Savannah, so stay there often while going up or down I-95.
