About Garden Key Campground

Garden Key, home to Fort Jefferson, has a primitive campground only a short walk from public dock and piers. Individual sites can accommodate up to three 2-person tents (6 persons max per-site) on a first-come, first served basis. In the event a regular campsite is unavailable, an overflow area will be made available. Upon arrival all overnight visitors will be provided a place to camp. For parties of 10 or more, a group campsite is available through our website.

Garden Key Campground offers a peaceful retreat in Pottsboro, Florida, where RV travelers can experience the natural beauty of this charming Gulf Coast community. With eight carefully maintained sites, this public campground provides an intimate camping experience that feels more like staying with friends than at a typical RV park. The smaller size means you'll enjoy a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere compared to larger commercial facilities, making it an ideal choice for those seeking genuine rest and connection with nature.

Pottsboro's location on Florida's Nature Coast positions visitors perfectly for exploring some of the state's most pristine natural areas. The region is renowned for its unspoiled beaches, wildlife viewing opportunities, and access to some of Florida's clearest springs and waterways. Whether you're interested in kayaking through coastal mangroves, fishing in nearby waters, or simply enjoying sunrise walks along peaceful shorelines, this area delivers authentic Florida experiences without the crowds found in more heavily developed areas.

The surrounding community offers a genuine slice of Old Florida charm. Local restaurants and shops reflect the area's coastal heritage, and you'll find plenty of opportunities to interact with locals who are proud of their region's natural heritage. The slower pace of life here contrasts beautifully with the hustle and bustle of major tourist destinations, allowing you to truly unwind and reset during your stay.

This campground appeals particularly to travelers who appreciate authentic experiences over resort-style amenities. Nature enthusiasts, photographers, birdwatchers, and anyone seeking a genuine Florida camping experience will find Garden Key Campground to be a welcoming base. The intimate setting encourages neighbors to become friends, and many visitors return year after year to reconnect with both the place and the camping community they've found here. Whether you're exploring the Nature Coast for the first time or rediscovering a favorite destination, Garden Key Campground provides an authentic Florida RV camping experience.
