"Great campground, quite but yet close to Homestead. Bring our own generator."
"The agent said she couldn’t look up which spots were available for the time frame we wanted, but we could drive around and find a few spots we wanted and then she could look it up. "
"This place is situated in the mirror middle of acres upon acres of ornamental trees and shrubs for sale by various companies."
"They have a really nice big pool, shuffleboard, putt putt golf, arcade and walking trail. It's off the beaten path but worth the drive. The front office staff was so helpful."
"In southern Florida, campgrounds don’t usually come cheap, but we found Larry & Penny’s to be a great value with close access (30 minutes) to Biscayne National Park."
"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. "
"This park is located right off Route 1 in Florida City. For the area this is a large park. I believe over 150 sites. The sites are decent in size."
"Close to the Keys, Everglades, Bkscayne and shopping. Staff was helpful. I will go back."

GuideLa primera vez que fui me impactó muchísimo porque desde la entrada veías los caimanes a la orilla de la calle fuera del agua y bastante cerca de las tiendas de campaña. Hay baños y algo se señal de T-Mobile
ScoutEnjoyed my 2 day stay here! Amazing thing while I was there is there were Thousands of Green Grasshoppers all on the Trees, Ground and the camper wheels, not eating, just like they were waiting for something!
GuideEs muy difícil reservar aquí, solo es en una temporada del año y solo es para grupos de personas. En los pocos lugares que hay así en el sur de Florida para colmo hay muchas trabas.
TravelerA real gem! Not a large CG with lots of amenities, but quiet and beautiful. No water and electricity at sites. Very clean bathroom with showers at entrance; with pit toilet on loop. We were at site 26 which overlooked the field of sawgrass in Big Cypress with nice afternoon shade. It does close for season in mid-April and we were there the last two nights, so very quiet! Good location to enjoy Loop Road in Big Cypress with lots of wildlife. Also good Basecamp for visits to Shark Valley Trail as wall as Ten Thousand Islands.
TravelerMAKE SURE YOU TAKE EXTRA WATER, OR FILL YOUR TANKS. We stayed three nights in T-loop, site 42 in mid-April. Only a handful of sites have any shade, so be sure to request shade when making reservations and you may get lucky like us. No water at sites, any only some have electricity. Potable water at bathroom unless pump goes out. It was towards the end of the busy season, so only one of two bathrooms were open. But the one bathroom was clean. Lots of angler groups, so a little noisy at night, but all in all they were respectful. Out last night the water went out and all bathrooms in all loops were closed. Apparently this can be common with pump going out. Understand things happen, but communication was horrible. Just a sign on bathroom that it was closed, no water. No indication that we should go to the visitor center for toilets, sinks. And the next morning the water was back on, but only put up boil advisory sign at CG entrance, not at bathrooms. So people using sinks without knowing water was compromised. Again, awful communication, especially when this happens with some regularity. ONLY AT&T SERVICE, with Wi-Fi at visitor center one mile away.
GuideWe camped here at the tail end of the season. More than half of the campground is closed. The gentleman at the camp entrance was friendly. Facilities are clean.
GuideHad a nice experience at John Pennekamp. There is so much to do we biked to nearly everything including nearby restaurants, we hung at the beach, kayaked and did trail walks with the dog. Water was a bit cold for us to snorkel but lots of folks did. Nice quiet campground, no issues whatsoever. Site 20 was great, full hookups, only issue was the no see ums - make sure you bring a thermacell bc they are no joke! Only complaint was the set up for women’s showers - there were 2 side by side and you have to come out of the shower into a common area with the other to get to your dry clothes. Luckily no one else was showering when I was there. If you have a shower in your camper this wont be an issue for you.
TravelerVery kind employees Always wanting to assist
RangerGreat campground, quite but yet close to Homestead. Bring our own generator. Camp sites have not been maintained like they should have, lots of overgrown brush in the campsites, which makes them harder to squeeze into. The campground needs to reclaim the sites from where there were 10-20 years ago. If the website says it fixs a 40-foot, then it might actually fit a 35 footer
