Best Campgrounds near Islamorada, Village of Islands, FL
The Florida Keys village of Islamorada serves as a good jumping-off point for several camping options. Flamingo Campground in Everglades National Park has spots near the coast, but trees are scarce, so pack extra water and something for shade. Many campers head to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park Campground in Key Largo instead, where you'll find full hookups and easy access to the water for kayaking and snorkeling. You should book well ahead of time at either place, as they fill up fast, especially from November through April when the weather cools down. During summer, the heat and mosquitoes can be rough, so come prepared if you visit then. Holiday weekends book up months in advance. Both campgrounds have a mix of open and shaded sites, with varying levels of privacy between neighbors. When you make your reservation, double-check what amenities come with your specific site and how much space you'll have.
