Very clean campground. Excellent communication from the office. Very nice pool and beach ⛱️
Legend
Not the best not the worst. Totally does the job and has all the amenities. Just not our vibe. Sites were all on grass and after a couple of weeks camping just the south I sure appreciate some gravel or sand. All the things live in grass. Pool.. looked nice but it was locked. Another one where the offices closes at 5.. most seem to be open until 7-8pm my favorite was key west open til 10pm! Just nice to have someone to communicate with - were low maintenance - or some signage describing how to utilize things if the office is closed. Bathrooms clean & with AC, nice park, courts to play sports but not sure if any equipment available. Clubhouse was unlocked we played pool while we waited for an Uber to the baseball game.
Ranger
Mostly enjoyed our two night stay in the Everglades. Flamingo Campground is run by a concessionaire, and its most expensive than we like to pay for campgrounds. $38-42ish per night depending on if its a weekend or week night. Mosquitos were bad the last week in April, wind helped a bit but we basically stayed in our camper the entire time.
Bathrooms were clean and bug free, hot showers available in the A loop!
Ranger
Full hookups, beaches, marina, hiking paths, small park and lots of relaxing in the sun. Down the road has grocery stores, small shops and great restaurants.

Flamingo in the Everglades: Open parklike with new and what are the absolute largest of campsite signs I have seen in 5 years of traveling. No excuse to be in the wrong site at Flamingo! I had to laugh and wonder that if they are that big, blind drivers must be frequenting Flamingo. On a serious note, the brand new visitor center is a 5 star. Spending time there will not be regretted,. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

Guide
This is a very nice campground which is part of the Miami-Dade County park system. It is close to the Encore Everglades park (about 4 miles) so we stayed here after we departed. The campground is divided into pods and each pod has about 15 or so sites. We were in pod 4 site 20 (420 lol). We booked this camp with the intent to stay for a month or longer as my husband had an opportunity to Captain boats in Miami.
The park was very quiet. Most of the campers were retirees, a few families with kids, but we were there in early January. The grounds are nicely maintained with lots of places to walk and open space with trees. They don't allow dogs off-leash and although it is adjacent to the rest of the Larry & Penny park, dogs are not even allowed in the main park, at all. We did however find a few dog parks within four miles or so which were nice.
They have a very nice pool which was open daily Wed- Sunday 11am - 5pm. It was raining and rather dreary during our stay so we didn't use the pool. They have a nice Clubhouse and it looked okay with tables, chairs, books, puzzles, but again very quiet. Not many activities except for a few and we didn't stay long enough to participate. After a week, we decided to make moves back home to Lake Tahoe. It was unseasonably cold, raining so no boat work and not an ideal spot for the dogs. They don't have WiFi and since we were planning a longer stay, purchased the Starlink system since I work remote during the winter. Starlink worked great, but costs $500+ to get started and then $120 or so a month. If you are looking for an affordable long term/monthly stay, it is great. The rates were $850 a month for full hook-ups. They had last minute space available, too.
If you are in the area, check out the Miami Zoo. We were there when they had the "Zoo Lights" a super fun evening event. They have other events at the Zoo and lots to do nearby. You are closer to town than Everglades Encore, but still close to the agricultural area. I recommend but not as fun or as many activities as some other places.
GuideWe stayed thirteen nights at this park. We really enjoyed the stay and recommend. The campsites are mostly nice. There are a lot of seasonal campers and it seems those sites are nicer. The sites closer to the cabin area are closer together. I wouldn't recommend this campsite for actual campsite, but rather the excellent location and fun activities and amenities of the park.
The park has lots to do and while dated, it is kept in good shape. The pool is lovely with lounge chairs, palm trees and a tropical feel. They have a hot tub, too. Everything clean and had a resort-feel. There are an abundance of activities: pickle ball, shuffleboard, a nice mini-golf course, walking trail, clubhouse, fire pits and large open grassy space.
We have two active dogs and they have a huge field where we were able to run our dogs off-leash and chase the frisbee. I am not sure if it is allowed, but there were others as well so seemed okay. This was a real benefit when camping with pets that like to run.
The park is in a beautiful, agricultural area in the town of Redlands. It is very tropical with farms, nurseries and lots of tropical fruit stands and interesting parks. It feels rural but it is close enough to town to go to the Miami beaches or other activities. If you go, check out all the agricultural farms, the Fruit and Spice stand, the 'Robert is Here' fruit stand and the Knaups Berry Farm for world class cinnamon rolls. The lines were too long for us to wait, but we heard they were the best.
This is one of the most friendly parks I have stayed. We were there on Christmas and New Years and had a total blast. They had music, karaoke, dancing and potluck dinners. The staff was nice too, we met Jason who was super helpful. My friend flew in to visit and she rented one of their deluxe cabins. It was really nice, with a fireplace, fenced patio, loft, kitchen. The entire experience at this resort was enjoyable and felt like being at camp. Highly recommend a visit.
ScoutThe good: The campground is very reasonably priced relative to accommodations in the surrounding area. The facilities are clean and functional. The meh: This is a family campground so you may end up with noisy neighbors (and/or their children). The bad: Code Compliance is strict and will lurk until you leave your site and then stick a nasty-gram to your door about whatever rule you violated. Apparently good tape is in short supply - I found my note under my camper by chance. They placed the note after nightfall.
TravelerThe store by the marina is well stocked and the marina itself is pretty big though we did not use it. The sites are cozy and pretty close together and the bathrooms were well kept. The water in the showers gets about lukewarm. There’s a little beach nearby too. We were able to buy firewood at the site and help was easy to find if it was needed.
GuideA little confusing getting here if it’s your first time. GPS will tell you to turn left into the campground when it’s a right at the stop sign from 184th/127th. The staff at the front was super helpful, but we never got info on a wifi code and didn’t notice until it was too late. Super clean bathrooms, which was surprising since we generally don’t expect much when staying in a public park setting. Very quiet and great for what we needed. The sites have enough room. Our site backed up to the bathrooms / laundry but there was enough space between to not be disruptive.
GuideNo shade, but a bar, restaurant, pool, beach, marina, and so much more. About an hour and 20 to Key West, but close to great fishing. I would definitely stay here again.
ScoutThe resort itself is large and surrounded by fruit trees, pine trees and other shady trees which offer coverage from the hot sun. Activities only December to April - pool is nice and the staff that directs you to your site is amazing. Otherwise no security after hours which allows rif raf to come in and use the pool, laundry facilities, etc which makes the area unsafe.
GuideThe campground is beautiful and everyone is super friendly but the music is extremely loud on weekends so keep that in mind if you’re staying anywhere close to the pool and bar area. Also- the cottage we stayed in had roaches, but they sprayed for them and were very nice and accommodating about it. Staff is amazing and being by the water is great. Love Fiesta Key and will definitely come back!

Great
TravelerWe loved Fiesta Key! Some of our favorite parts of this resort were the weekly farmers market, the Easter egg hunt on Easter, the restaurant, snorkeling from the shore, and the how they pickup your trash for you right at your site. I sometimes it is the little things. 😆
GuideLoved the campground. I stayed during the week and it was mostly quiet. This is the place to be if you like to fish, kayak or want to be alone.. I can’t say enough about the fishing. Many Crocodiles. The 1.5 hour boat tours are both well worth the 35$. Make sure you ask for a site with shade‼️
Guide
This was my 2nd visit to the park. At 50 bucks for a tent site, it isn't cheap, but the sites can accommodate up to 3 tents. The scenery is very nice and the staff are helpful, would go again.
TravelerThe campground was beautiful and the sites were somewhat spread out or had vegetation separating the sites. The guys in the shop were great to work with and very friendly
LegendRV park with nice and and warm pool close to Miami.
GuideWe decided to go east during Snow Bird season. So we have been playing ping pong through out in the keys. Fiesta Key Resort is a very nice resort, we were going to be here for 2 nights and extended to 6. They have a restaurant that is good, beach, snorkeling, sun rises and sunset are serene. The staff are all amazing! The sites are great size, you aren’t on top of each other, plenty of room. Well for us it was plenty of room bc we have a 31’ class C motorhome with no tow. So we didn’t have to use up our extra space for the tow vehicle.
ScoutWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Flamingo Eco-tents. We appreciated being able to camp without brining in the typical supplies since we were visiting from out of state - the tent includes your bedding, towels, etc.
Even in January bugs were intense as soon as the sun went down - don't plan to sit around a campfire here, even doused in bug spray. Instead, eat an early dinner and then head back to your tent for sunset.
When booking, request a bay side tent (7,8,13,14,17,18) to have an uninterrupted water front view from your porch.

We arrived to a warm welcome and headed to site #27. To say these sites are tight is an understatement. You're practically touching your neighbors. We have a 4Runner with RTT and weren't thrilled with the prospects. We get to our site and see that it's missing a picnic table and a big white truck is parked in our spot. We let the office know and they didn't seem surprised saying the tables tend to walk away but they'd get us one and would contact the owner of the truck. No big deal, we'll grab lunch and a couple drinks. So we get a call saying they have a table for us and have contacted the owner of the truck which will be moved ASAP. Perfect!
After lunch we head back and find a table had been brought over and the truck moved, but now there's a black KIA in our spots. Seeing as we were already not thrilled with the cramped confines, we said screw it and decided on a hotel. We thanked the office for the table and getting the truck moved but there was now another vehicle in it's place. They seemed genuinely disappointed and offered to contact the owners. When we told them not to bother, we weren't staying, they didn't even offer a refund. This wasn't a surprise since when we made the phone reservation, they said they didn't offer refunds for cancellations. This should've been a red flag.
We would NOT recommend this place to anyone that would spend any time at their site. There simply isn't any space to get comfortable. The office staff was friendly but it seems like the full-timers and extended stayers feel like they run the place.
LegendGeneral: Small campground (47 sites) in a larger state park with many activities you can participate in.
Site Quality: All sites are level and gravel but are pretty close together with little to no foliage separating them.
Bathhouse: Typical of all the other Florida state parks we have stayed in. Clean with good showers.
Activities/Amenities: This is where this park shines! Swimming, boating, snorkeling. You can rent kayaks or SUPS for a reasonable amount. There are also snorkel tours. There is a food truck, marina, and aquarium. Laundry facilities but one of the two dryers was out of order. Two swimming beaches but we have been to better ones in Florida. Note that alcohol is permitted in your campsite but not in the public areas of the park. Note also that the playground was closed due to safety reasons.
We were lucky to snag a one-night reservation 11 months ago so had to decide which activities to partake in. We chose kayaking and SUP but wish we could have also done a snorkel tour!
LegendThis is one of three options to "camp" in this part of Everglades National Park (the other two are RV sites and a large grassy area for tent camping (only open during the winter months). The 20 Eco tents provide a change of pace to regular camping, and they are nicely appointed, but they are a bit of a splurge (over$100 with tax).
Each tent has full deck flooring and comes equipped with a double or queen bed with bedding (November– April only), a fan, 110 outlets, towels, two chairs/small round tables, and shelving with baskets. You can enjoy at least a partial view of Florida Bay from each tent.
The Eco tents have their own “private” bathroom/shower separate from the public restroom and it was clean. Unlike the bathrooms at Long Pine Key campground, there is a handicap-accessible stall. Towels are provided in the tents.
Cooking or food of ANY KIND is not allowed in the tents as it would attract bugs and other wildlife. There are picnic tables/fire pits by the parking lot for cooking/eating but it was very windy when we arrived, so we just ate cold food in our van. All food must stay in your vehicle. You are also not allowed to use bug spray in the tent due to the flammable nature of the spray. Other rules include no music in the campground or tents.
We were there shortly before the winter season so there were not as many options for recreation available. There are hiking trails and you can rent canoes or kayaks. Other boat tours are available, but we didn’t take advantage of any of these, preferring instead to take photos of birds and walk the short Anhinga Trail (closer to the northern entrance to the park).
Both the sunsets and the sunrises are spectacular (if you can stand the mosquito assault!)
TravelerSmall and efficient for tenting. However, tenting is by the highway and under lights. Very noisy and bright for sleeping.
TravelerStayed here multiple times. Always enjoy being on water and boat docks at site.
GuideWe stayed here for two days on our way North from the Keys. It is a great family style campground close to Miami, Key Biscayne, and the Everglades National Forest. We used this as our landing area to enjoy the local beaches, amenities, and natural sites. There was a pickle ball tournament going on which looked like fun. The pool looked nicely appointed and clean, although, we did not use it. I did feel that the bathrooms close to our site were in need of an upgrade. They rated a low 2 stars. There is a walking/Biking path around the campground perimeter which is actively used.
