Boyd's Key West Campground

Key West certainly inspires with its spellbinding array of beaches and parks, which is why so many choose to take their campervan rentals for a road trip to the southernmost tip of the continental United States. Bahia Honda State Park is one of the closest nature parks over on Bahia Honda Key. The island is mostly uninhabited and completely dedicated to the preservation of its valuable and delicate ecosystems. Spectacular coral reefs line the shores of the island, with azure water in the backdrop, making for wonderful photography opportunities. You can go hiking, biking, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and birdwatching at this captivating conservation area, or head to Curry Hammock State Park even closer to the mainland. Kayaking, canoeing, fishing, swimming, or beachcombing along its stunning white sand beaches are great ways to enjoy your visit to the park, and you can stay overnight in your Key West camper rental at its spacious rustic camping area. John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is both above and below water, making it one of the nation’s first underwater state parks. Scuba diving is very popular here thanks to its abundant reefs, a myriad of tropical fish, marine mammals, and an underwater art installation called “Christ of the Abyss,” which was built in 1962. Both Biscayne National Park and Everglades National Park can be found in South Florida, within driving distance if you want to take a road trip. Biscayne National Park is also located offshore, protecting a massive ecosystem with exotic animals and vibrant coral structures in the Caribbean Sea. Everglades National Park is absolutely massive, with millions of acres of swampland, bottom wood forests, estuaries, jungles, and other crucial wildlife areas home to alligators, birds of prey, manatees, and big cats, among other things. You can’t go wrong anywhere in this gorgeous state, practically made for outdoor adventures.
