Garden Key Group Campground

This place is awesome! We took our boat from Key West and spent 2 nights at Fort Jefferson. You have to pack EVERYTHING including water. The ferry boat comes each day so you can buy food & take HOT (really hot) outdoor showers. We went in mid July and even though it was super warm at night, the seas were flat calm the entire time. With a private boat you can go over to Loggerhead Key which is about a mile away. It has a lighthouse and awesome snorkeling. There’s also a shipwreck to the south of Loggerhead you can snorkel. If going during the hotter months, bring shade tents, we only had 1 and it was a must. The flys can get bad so bring traps or a trash can to secure your trash. This is a must do trip, the sunsets from the fort are amazing!
