Pet friendly RV rentals in the Florida Keys

Reviewed by Ben Kiser, RV rental operator and fleet consultant.

At a Keys state park your dog sleeps inside the RV, by rule. So the host's pet setting decides where you can stay before length or price does.

  • On October 14, 2026, 58 of the 79 RVs that can reach Key Largo were marked pet friendly, and 30 of the 42 that reach Key West.
  • State parks: pet inside the RV from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., 6 ft leash, 30 minutes unattended at most.
  • Boyd's, Leo's and Bluewater Key bar a list of breeds. 4 parks bar pets from their own rental units.

Why the RV's pet setting decides a state park night

Cross-referenced, then counted from the live feed

The rules
The Florida State Parks Pet Policy keeps a pet inside the owner's camping unit from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. On Outdoorsy, the host decides whether a pet may be in the RV at all.
What we found
Of the 78 RVs that can reach Pennekamp and fit the 40 ft most of its sites take on October 14, 2026, 57 are marked pet friendly. The other 21 leave a pet nowhere to sleep at a state park, unless the host agrees otherwise in writing.
What to do
With a pet, filter by the host's pet setting before length or price, and book a state park only with an RV marked pet friendly.
If you skip it
A state park night where the pet cannot legally be in the RV or out of it.

RVs that reach and fit each park, and how many take pets

Reach is the host's own delivery range against a straight line; fit is the listed length against the park's published limit. Outdoorsy does not say whether a trailer's length includes the hitch.

Outdoorsy listings within 100 miles of Marathon, read October 14, 2026. Jolly Roger publishes no length cap, so its row counts reach only.

What does each Keys campground allow?

Each park's rule in its own terms, from its own pages. Where a park says nothing, the table says so. Chow, Doberman, German Shepherd, Pit Bull, Rottweiler appear on every breed list published at the Key West end (Bluewater Key RV Resort, Leo's Campground, Boyd's Key West Campground), so a dog of those breeds is barred at all of them. Sugarloaf Key KOA publishes no breed list on the page we read; ask before you book.

Can you rent a campground's own RV with a pet?

Mostly not. Jolly Roger RV Resort, Big Pine Key RV Park, Leo's Campground, Boyd's Key West Campground all keep pets out of their own rental units. The exception is Sunshine Key RV Resort & Marina: Pet-friendly Vacation Campers, two pets at most, with a $200 pet fee ($150 refundable, $50 nonrefundable deep cleaning).

Otherwise the pet friendly route is an Outdoorsy RV delivered to a site you book yourself. RV delivery in the Florida Keys says which hosts reach which key and what they charge. Each listing page prints whether the host takes pets and which parks that RV reaches and fits.

What about a hurricane?

Monroe County says all its shelters are pet friendly and asks owners to pre-register pets, but frames them as in-county shelters for Category 1 and 2 storms. For a Category 3 to 5 storm, visitors and RVs are ordered out first, so the pet leaves with you. When RVs are ordered out of the Keys has the timing.

Questions people ask about pets

Yes. On October 14, 2026, 58 of the 79 Outdoorsy RVs whose host can get one to Key Largo were marked pet friendly, 54 of 71 for Marathon and 30 of 42 for Key West. 77 of the 79 are kept on the mainland and delivered.

It has to, at night. The Florida State Parks Pet Policy keeps pets inside your camping unit from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., on a leash of 6 ft at most at other times, and never unattended for more than 30 minutes. No pets on beaches or in bathing areas. So rent an RV whose host allows pets.

Leo's, Boyd's and Bluewater Key each publish a list. Chow, Doberman, German Shepherd, Pit Bull, Rottweiler appear on all three. Sugarloaf Key KOA publishes no breed list on the page we read.

Not at Boyd's, Leo's, Jolly Roger or Big Pine Key RV Park, which all bar pets from their own rental units. Sunshine Key RV Resort & Marina offers pet-friendly campers: two pets at most and a $200 pet fee, $150 of it refundable.

Monroe County's shelters are pet friendly and it asks owners to pre-register, but it frames them as in-county shelters for Category 1 and 2 storms. For a Category 3 to 5 storm, visitors and RVs are ordered out first, so your pet leaves with you.

Book the site, then a pet friendly RV

Pick the park whose pet rule your pet clears, hold the site, then choose an RV whose host takes pets and delivers that far.
