Best RV Parks & Resorts near Ochopee, FL
Big Cypress National Preserve offers several RV campgrounds near Ochopee with varying amenities. Monument Lake Campground provides basic RV sites around a small lake with drinking water, flush toilets, and fire pits, though it lacks electric hookups and is only open seasonally from August to April. Midway Campground, open year-round, features electric hookups (30-amp), drinking water, and a dump station with sites arranged in a loop around a central lake. Naples Motorcoach Resort and Marco Naples RV Resort cater to larger rigs with 50-amp electric, full hookups, and resort amenities like pools and recreation areas. "All RV sites look over the lake which is in the middle of the campground. This campground seems to be very conducive to meeting people," noted one visitor about Midway Campground.
The terrain throughout the area is generally flat, making most sites level and accessible for larger vehicles. Cell service varies significantly—Monument Lake typically has good coverage with three bars reported, while Midway users experience intermittent service that may require a signal booster. Most RV campgrounds in the preserve have limited shade, which benefits solar panel users but offers little protection during hot months. Dump stations are available at Midway but not at all campgrounds, so planning ahead is essential. During winter months (December through March), campgrounds fill quickly as snowbirds migrate to the area, making advance reservations necessary. A visitor mentioned that "the sites don't have fire rings or BBQ pits and they are very small and cramped together" at some of the commercial RV parks, highlighting the importance of researching site dimensions before arrival.
