Dry Tortugas National Park, Key West

So amazing! I cannot recommend camping here enough! I’m not usually the tent camping type, but I would totally do this again! We stayed 2 nights-wish we had stayed for 3. You basically have the island to yourself after the ferry leaves at 2:30. Sunsets and the stars at night - hard to beat. Don’t let the primitive setting scare you off! The rangers and island personnel were helpful, friendly, and professional. The public areas around the island were clean and safe. The only creatures we encountered on the island itself were hermit crabs and they kept to themselves. Again, I would do this again…for all three nights.

This National Park is an adventure from start to finish! Remote and magical, to get here use the Yankee Freedom ferry, and when you arrive, take the quick tour. Explore the pristine beaches, the clear water, the sea life, snorkel, and the fort itself and step back into time.
