Camping in the Dry Tortugas National Park is definitely an experience of a lifetime! Imagine sleeping under the stars, on an island 70 miles from civilization, with the warm tropical breezes blowing through palm trees and the rhythmic sound of the ocean waves playing in the background. Camping is limited so make your reservations now.

Camping at Fort Jefferson is PRIMITIVE CAMPING! In other words, you must bring everything (water included) with you.

Before you make a camping reservation, please read about our Dry Tortugas Camping information. For your comfort and safety it is extremely important that you read this information. If you have any questions please call 1-800-322-0013 or 305-294-7009.
