We went to this place with friends for the weekend, plus it's only 20 minutes from my house. There is absolutely no electric/water/bathrooms/shower there. The sites were somewhat small with no shade. For what was there, it was over priced. Did have fire rings on the ground and lots of bike riding. Park is peaceful and relaxing but nothing to do there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

In Flamingo you have to boondock, so be sure to bring your own water, and source of electricity. There is a water fill and dump station near the first bathhouse in the T loop. Sites are huge but there is no privacy between them. Trees are scarce and not usually near enough to RV to provide shade. A and B loops are for tents, small vans, popups, etc. T loop is for RV's bigger than about 14 ft. T loop sites are all pull thrus. In A and B there is just a parking space for your vehicle and you may not park on the grass. C loop remained closed during our stay-we were told it is only for overfill. So the real number of sites goes down from 234 to 190 or so. The hurricanes damaged most of the campground and it is s-l-o-w-l-y being renovated but there are now 3 plans for it to be upgraded that they are asking for public input on. The lodge has been closed since 2005 and is in very bad shape. 3 of the trails are still closed as well. The Flamingo visitor center is not pretty as it was damaged and the gift shop and restaurant remain closed. We took the boat trip down the canal and walked the Snake Bight trail as well as the Eco Pond trail. We biked the other trails which were overgrown. Generators have to go off from 8p-8a and there is no light so the stars were very clear during our stay, we took our telescope to view them. Attended 2 ranger programs, a storyteller and the night ranger program about the pythons in the park. Our child received her JR ranger badge as well. Everyone we met was personable and helpful. Bathrooms were very clean, and the Flamingo marina has a few items if you forgot them. They also sell gas/diesel if you need it but at $3.56(Jan 08) we did not. Make sure you have everything you need because it is a 38 mile trip out of the park if you forget it. It takes almost an hour to exit as the speeds are slow in places. I told my spouse it was the best sleep I ever had camping because there was NO noise after 8p since it was too far for people to leave, no one was driving in or out and since there were some mosquitos out, people weren't sitting out talking until late in the night either. We will definitely do the trip again but not for a few years to see what changes have occurred when they start rebuilding. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the National Park Service campgrounds in the Everglades, at the very southern end of Florida. The Florida Keys are across Florida Bay from this campground, and it's an absolutely gorgeous spot. No hookups here, but large level sites on well maintained gravel/paved roads. Do NOT go here unless you have gallons of high quality bug spray -- in January, when the locals say there's no mosquito problem, we were absolutely eaten alive if we stepped outside for more than 4 seconds with no Deep Woods Off liberally applied. I don't know how people survive when the mosquito problem is rated as "severe" as happens every summer. The campground is lovely, and very quiet (depending, as always, on the neighbors you get). Great for stargazing. Probably won't be back, but glad we saw it all once! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great campground located less than 6 miles inside Everglades National Park on the CR 9336 side. Flamingo Campground is 38 miles further down the road. This campground is located in the Slash Pines and all sites are surrounded by native plants. It is a very scenic setting whereas Flamingo is out in the open with very little that can be called 'scenic' Another plus for this campground is that it is less than 3 miles from the Royal Palm Visitor Center which was full of wildlife during our stay ( lots of alligators, birds and turtles ) There is also a campfire circle in the campground with Ranger programs held several times a week. Generator hours at 8am - 8pm and there are about a dozen sites that will accomodate 'big rigs' ( we are 41 feet & had no problems ) The dump station is also easily accessible. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
