Camping near Biscayne National Park
Biscayne National Park in Florida gives campers a chance to experience a coastal ecosystem unlike any other. Penny Thompson Park's Quiet and Peaceful Campground sits close by with good facilities, clean bathrooms, and drinking water available. You can spend your days in the park snorkeling around coral formations, paddling a kayak through the waters, or taking a boat out to explore further. Since it's not far from Miami, many people come here for weekend trips when they need to get away. The actual Quiet and Peaceful Campground is another good spot to set up camp, with enough basic amenities to keep most people comfortable. Try to plan your visit between November and April when the weather is cooler and more comfortable - summers get really hot and humid with regular afternoon storms rolling through. While camping here, you can take side trips to Miami or check out the underwater sights at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. Just know your phone might not work in parts of the park, and it's smart to look up any closures or warnings before heading out.
