Dry Tortugas National Park is a remote oasis 70 miles west of Key West, Florida, offering an unparalleled primitive camping experience on Garden Key. Visitors can explore the historic Fort Jefferson, snorkel in vibrant coral reefs, and observe abundant marine life and birds. While reservations for the ferry or seaplane and the campground are highly competitive and must be made months in advance, the opportunity to sleep under the stars in this isolated paradise makes the planning worthwhile.
