Where to go camping in Key West Florida?




Hank S


I'm looking for a place to go camping in Jan 2009 in Key West Florida.
Basically I'm looking for:
*Tent camping, water or electricity would be nice but not 100% needed.
*Doesn't have to be beach front but the beach has to be within walking distance (1/4 mile)
*Would like to have a beach where we can relax, swim in the ocean, and have alcohol.
*A fire would be nice on the beach but it not needed.
Any recommendations?

Thank you!



Answer
there is no camping on key west whatsoever..the closest thing is taking a 90 minute ferry ride from key west to dry tortuga national --but then you'll be in another world parkhttp://www.nps.gov/drto

Does anyone know anywhere I can camp (tent) on the beach in Alabama, Mississippi, or West Florida?

Hi, my boyfriend and I are from New Orleans. We don't want to travel too far from Louisiana, but also want a nice couple days to enjoy spring break. Unfortunately, because we're both college students, we're on a budget, so we've decided to pack the tent and camp! Any advice is appreciated!


Answer
I don't know about Alabama and Mississippi, but in Florida it is not usually possible to camp on the beach. However, here in Key West many people do sleep on the beaches overnight, even though technically it is not allowed. You would most likely have to seek out a quiet spot where you might not be disturbed. If your budget can handle it, the state parks do allow tenting, and the fees are very reasonable. Many of them have beaches.
