Best RV Parks & Resorts near Big Cypress National Preserve

Several RV parks surround Big Cypress National Preserve, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Midway Campground within the preserve provides electric hookups with 30-amp service, level blacktop sites, and a dump station, making it suitable for large rigs year-round. Naples Motorcoach Resort features full hookups with 50-amp service, big-rig friendly sites, and upscale amenities for those seeking luxury accommodations. Monument Lake Campground, open from August to April, accommodates large motorhomes with water hookups but no electric service around a scenic lake. Crystal Lake RV Resort in Naples provides full hookups with 50-amp service on spacious sites that can handle the largest RVs. "All RV sites are situated around the lake which is in the middle of the campground," notes one Midway Campground visitor, highlighting the open layout that facilitates social interaction despite minimal privacy between sites.

Reservations are essential for RV camping in this region, particularly during winter months when snowbirds flock to southern Florida. Cell service varies significantly between campgrounds - Midway typically offers 1-3 bars depending on site location, while Monument Lake provides more consistent coverage with 3 bars reported by travelers. Pet owners should note that all the major RV parks in the area are pet-friendly, though some restrictions apply near water areas due to alligator presence. The preserve's campgrounds offer limited amenities compared to private RV resorts; while Midway has a dump station and potable water, it lacks showers and sewer hookups. One camper advised, "Bring all the food & supplies you need into the park," as shopping options are limited within 20+ miles of the preserve campgrounds. During summer months, mosquitoes become problematic at dusk, so proper repellent is necessary for comfortable outdoor activities.

    Midway Campground — Big Cypress National Preserve

    All RV Sites Around a Small Lake

    Midway in Big Cypress: This is our forth time here. We love this campground, though the sites are open. All trailer sites look over the lake which is in the middle of the campground. This campground seems to be very conducive to meeting people. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

A selection of campsites which offer some visual privacy and/or view from sites. Cleanliness of whatever facilities are offered is important and usually noted in my review.

    Northtide Naples 55+ RV Resort

    Simple place

    If your looking for a weekend get away this is not the place. If you are looking for long term camper living this is the place for you. The sites dont have fire rings or bbq pits and they are very small and cramped together but what can you ask for. They do have a heated pool and are close to town since they are in the middle of it. Coin operated laundry and there is a day room

    Monument Lake Campground — Big Cypress National Preserve

    Big Cypress park

    Nice simple campground right in the middle of the huge wilderness of Big Cypress National Preserve and not far from Everglades National Park. Pros: right off the main road through the Everglades & Big Cypress, RV sites are all around a pond, boardwalk hikes nearby (short drive), visitor center and Native American museum nearby (short drive), ranger programs (short drive to visitor center), clean, level & grassy campsites, surrounded by trees, some of the best stargazing in all of Florida, great wildlife around camp and on the trails nearby. Cons: tent-only area is next to the RV dump station, very open and very little shade at most sites. FYI: bring all the food & supplies you need into the park, though they do have water at the campground.

    Long Pine Key Campground — Everglades National Park

    Long Key Campground serenity

    Beautifully manicured park with blacktop pads spaced far enough apart for a fair amount of privacy. Beautiful scenery, great bird watching, lots of stars visible at night. Good Verizon cell service.

    Be aware that the pads are small. Only a few sites will fit a large RV and you will have to park you car in overflow parking if the sites are full. Our 35’ class A fit nicely and we were able to park our tow vehicle in an adjacent site since the park was only about half full but we wouldn’t be able to do that during peak season.

    Okaloacoochee Slough Hunt Camp

    Nice and Peaceful

    Hunt Camp, Okaloacoochee SF: We stayed at the nearby Overflow CG. I expect this would have been the same quiet and peaceful experience, as noticed during our walks by Hunt Camp. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

    Long Pine Key Campground — Everglades National Park

    Private Sites, Beware of Poisonous Snakes

    Long Pine : Sites are more private here than the one other Everglades established campground (Flamingo). More trails here. Flamingo is closer to water activities. We saw a rattlesnake this trip. Previously, we had a water moccasin under our trailer I figure having been disoriented during a torrential downpour. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

A selection of campsites which offer some visual privacy and/or view from sites. Cleanliness of whatever facilities are offered is important and usually noted in my review.

    Overall Rating: 3.5. Lower rating than the camping experience deserves. Reasons:? Poor cleanliness of facilities as is often my experience in concessionaire run campgrounds. The interagency pass only attains a 10% discount. Our stay and other retirees I have spoken with limit our stays. Note the campground was only full on weekdays! Price 2023: $ 34 w interagency pass Usage during visit: 1/2 to 3/4 mostly Site Privacy: Low growing shrubs give great privacy between most all RV sites Site Spacing: Good Site surface: Grass Reservations: Yes Campground Noise: Inner loop roads are short with limited # of spaces in each. This coupled with dense foliage keeps the noise down. Road Noise: None Through Traffic in campground: Only the outer loop road because of campground traffic only. It’s not too bad Electric Hookup: No Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: Yes Potable Water Available: Near restroom facilities. Generators: Yes Bathroom: Flush toilets are kept clean. The ready of the facility boarders on disgusting.
    Showers: Solar. Water temperature depends on sunshine, time of day, usage , and the length showers folks take.

    Mitchell Landing Campground — Big Cypress National Preserve

    Remote Camping

    Mitchell’s Landing: this isolated campground has an airboat launch area. I met a man, Bill, who grew up on this property, owned by his Miccosukee family until the mid 70s. According to him, the department of the interior, reneged on their promise that this land would stay in his family. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good
