NO. 1
Boyd's Key West Campground
Oceanfront campsites for tents and RVs. Located in Key West, this family‑friendly campground also offers a swimming pool, fishing, and snorkeling. Don’t miss out on a sunset glass‑bottom boat cruise! Boyd's Campground has a little bit of everything!

This campground offers a little bit of everything. Tent, RV, cabin, and even boat camping are all options. Being water front, it’s perfect for swimming, snorkeling, fishing, boating and more. AP tip: be sure to book in advance!
NO. 3
Fort Desoto Campground
Near St. Petersburg, Fort Desoto is fully equipped with RV hookups or tent camping just steps away from the beach. It’s a quick drive into town if you want a little extra exploring.
NO. 4
Hillsborough River State Park
Just minutes outside of Tampa, this state park offers it all. 7 miles of hiking trails, canoeing/kayaking, biking, fishing… need we say more? Check out the Florida State Parks site for reservations/seasonal restrictions.
NO. 5
Ginnie Springs
You could say we saved our favorite for last. Come for the day or stay for the night. Swim, snorkel, or SUP in the crystal-clear springs. Canoe, kayak or tube on the Santa Fe River (gear for all is rentable on site when available). Feeling extra adventurous? There’s even scuba rentals and lessons. Visit Ginnie Springs Outdoors for all seasonal updates and pricing.
