Monument lake 2021

We decided to do the Florida national park tour and added big cypress even though it is a national preserve, not a park. This was a great little campground, but let me tell you when we drove into the park it was late and VERY dark. When we finally found the campground, we drove around 3 times before finding our tent spot. There is a cell tower close by so we had great cell service. There is no electricity anywhere in the campground, it there is water and a dishwashing station. There are no showers but the bathrooms are nice. There were a lot of hunters in the campground, they were all respectful. We took our bikes and had some nice rides. Most of the hiking is “wet” as in up to your knees at times. We would return for sure,it’s beautiful. We saw alligators, manatees and lots of birds. We ate at the only restaurant there which was great.
