In the fall of 2005 many of the backcountry facilites were damaged by Hurricane Wilma. Most of the sites are now open. Broad River, Kingston Key, Graveyard Creek, and Carl Ross Key remain closed.

Due to techincal problems, we are not able to update the expanded web pages ("more" - at the bottom of this page). Click here for a complete list of open and closed facilities.

There are 47 designated wilderness campsites. The majority of the sites are accessible only by canoe, kayak, and motorboat. A few sites are accessible by foot. None are accessible by car.

A backcountry permit is required for all wilderness campsites. Permits are only issued the day before or the day of the start of your camping trip. Permits are not issued over the telephone. Wilderness permits are written from the Ernest Coe Visitor Center only for two land sites in the Long Pine Key area: Ernest Coe and Ingraham Highway. For all other campsites, permits may be obtained at the Flamingo and Gulf Coast Visitor Centers. Winter wilderness users whose trips originate from the Florida Keys can obtain permits by phone by calling 239-695-2945 for the following locations only: North Nest Key, Little Rabbit Key, Carl Ross Key, and the Cape Sable Beaches. Permit Fees: $10 per permit plus $2 per person per night
