We stayed here over the years and loved it. We just drove to Cedar Key today and found this place to be abandoned and in horrible condition. Windows and doors were all broken . Don't go there. My husband and I went to the main part of town on the water. The roads were closed, so we got out and walked by the restaurants on the water, which were beautiful. They are all damaged and closed because of the hurricane that hit it. The new bridge was new was closed due to hurricane damage. We loved Cedar Key and I cried to see the devastation. It is heartbreaking.
Our Rigged Adventures
Prime spot to stay in Cedar key! Close enough to downtown we rode scooters. Sites are tight if park is full. We had a waterview and it was beautiful. Boat ramp is around the corner and cute little Bottle bar is next door. Wish there was a pool and there is no amenities really at all. I did see a kayak rack, but no kayaks. There is a dock to fish from or sit and enjoy the views.

Needed to extend our stay to complete planned activities last time we stayed there. The desk agent assigned us a new spot for that night and told us we could move to that location early in the morning since nobody was there, and we could get to our activities early as required. When I went back to the office to confirm our new spot the same agent was not there and I was told I would have to move my trailer off of property by 11 a.m. and not be able to return until 1:00. This would totally ruin our plans and was not what I was promised. I was understandably upset and let it be known. I thought that the problem got resolved and we were able to complete our stay as promised and accomplished our goals. Now I have attempted to make reservations there again and been notified that I am blocked from ALL Treehouse Communities Resorts in perpetuity, because their people failed to communicate internally and put a guest in an untenable situation. It's a beautiful location and we loved staying there despite being overcrowded (far too many RVs for the amount of space...tiny lots) and a sour, intractable manager that does not return phone calls. There is a great little state park not far from there that we will probably stay at next time. Follow up: Sunset Isle RV in their response below expressed their desire to make things right, but it was only lip service as they have continued to not answer my calls or return calls when messages are left. They are only trying to look good in the face of negative reviews. Don't believe it.

We stayed here a few years ago, under different management/ownership and were so impressed w/the previous people who ran the campground. Sadly we can’t say the same thing, three years later. The location is great for camping, your on the water however the amenities are clearly not well kept anymore. We stayed for six days and the bathrooms were never cleaned. The trash was piled high, bathrooms dirty, and the staff was found constantly smoking. Sad to see a rare gem go down hill.

You come to Cedar Key for the beautiful views and Sunset Isle RV resort lives up to the expectations. It is a small location so it is quiet. The WiFi has been fantastic at the end of March 2023. We got a spot right on the water near the launch ramp and loved the sunsets and just watching the tides go in/out. We did a lot of biking and kayaking from this location to explore, the whole island is fun to poke around; a few small shops, dolphin sightings from downtown docks, fresh seafood. The group regularly had campfires in the evening that were open to all. Only one thing we found that the four washrooms could be cleaned more - but with our RV facilities it didn't matter. It is also worth noting that their layout means no of the sites are sitting on the side of the highway (as others in the area do) - this was huge to ensure a good stay. Loved just sitting outside and watching the fish jump.
