Garden Key Campground, Primitive camping ground in Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida, US.
The Garden Key Campground features eight individual campsites among trees near Fort Jefferson, providing direct access to coral reefs and marine wildlife.
The campground stands within the grounds of Fort Jefferson, a 19th-century military fortress that protected maritime commerce in the Gulf of Mexico.
The camping area allows visitors to experience traditional outdoor living while exploring marine ecosystems through activities like snorkeling and birdwatching.
Campers must bring all necessary supplies including water, as the remote location offers only basic facilities with composting toilets and grilling areas.
When day visitors depart, overnight campers gain exclusive access to the island, creating opportunities for stargazing and sunset viewing across the Gulf.
