General: 107-site developed campground in Everglades National Park that has been outsourced to Flamingo Adventures. Sites are assigned based on the length of your camper. No hookups at all. Pricing is based on weekdays/weekends and a 10% discount is available for seniors/military/park pass holders. You do have to pay the National Park entrance fee. 

Site Quality: Driveways are all paved. The sites are a generous size. Most of the sites on the perimeter best accommodate smaller rigs while larger ones are on the connector roads. All sites are flat and level. A picnic table and fire ring complete the site, which is grass. Some foliage provides privacy between sites. 

Bath/Shower: The showers are in separate buildings from the restrooms; there are three in the campground, each with eight showers. I didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on how well they worked. The restrooms were clean but there were no ADA-accessible stalls (a surprise to me, especially in a national park). I am 5 feet, 115 pounds, and the stalls were a tight fit for me; it would be a real challenge for a larger person. In my three times in the restroom after dark, the light was only on once. I could not see a light switch so have no idea what turns the light on. My last beef with the bathroom is that there is no paved or gravel path leading to the restrooms (and you are warned about snakes, scorpions, fire ants, and other wildlife) so this made no sense to me. 

Activities: There is an amphitheater but not sure when/if programs are offered (we were there at the very beginning of the season and just ahead of Hurricane Nicole). A nature trail but did not explore. You can fish in the small lake. Rainy day movies about the Everglades are available in the Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center. 

Other: A major beef for me was that recycling bins were located throughout the camp for mixed recyclables, but they were all locked! We asked and were told that the bins were put there by the park service but the waste company the campground uses refuses to pick up the recycling! Three years later, the bins are still there! 

We arrived just ahead of a tropical storm that mostly affected areas north of the Everglades, but my estimation is that no more than a half dozen other sites were occupied when we were there so our stay was very quiet (generators are only allowed 8 am– 8 pm and we were told this upon arrival; we don’t have one so this was not a problem for us). 

This was just an overnight stop for us as we headed to the Keys but I’m not sure I’d want to spend longer than one night.
