Very interesting experience, we came here in March to tent camp which I probably wouldn’t do again due to mosquitoes and heat. We did find a shady spot to camp which helped. There is power at the camp sites but no water- bathrooms are basic and clean and there is a hose there. The other campers were spring breakers and a group of men from Miami who hired escorts to join them in their RV and party until 5am (didn’t keep us awake ). There’s no where to swim here because of all the gators. Bring a kayak or a bike, the trails are lovely.

We loved our time there! It was refreshing, humid, and full of mosquitoes! 😁 But if you’re prepared it’s seriously so nice to be off grid for a while. Hiking, biking, and fishing near by. You can see lots of wildlife too! Dogs are welcomed but they cannot be on certain trails, but plenty of space to walk them. Where we stayed there was no cell service for Verizon. It was perfect! The staff was super friendly and welcoming! You can rent paddle boards and kayaks! Their wood a bundle is 8.50, grab two if you’re having a fire. It burns fast. Overall it was so enjoyable, and we cannot wait to stay again! On your way out make sure you stop at Robert Is Here, fruit stand! Such a treat! 🍊🥑🍌🥥🥭

Magnificent Disconnect out in Nature with similar like-minded exploring campers.... Mosquitos not a problem like summertime.... Staff are All Friendly and eager to answer questions... Rangers are always available for Educational Programs.... I learned of a Magnificent Hunter Bird, Osprey, nesting in a couple of places.... All the self events you and your family can imagine and participate together; the park has kayaks and narrated tours for a cost.... Must be self sufficient and have your own supplies, I was amazed at the large number of Families and Fishermen that visit Flamingo... We will be returning again.... Ed in Florida....

Nice, quiet campground with good facilities. AC power at most site but no water. Also, not much shade. Don't come here in the summer, aka mosquito and horsefly season.

The campground is about 49 miles from the beginning of the park. It is located at the southern most tip of the continental U.S. The campground has some trailer sites with electricity. The sies do not have water, but there is a spot where you can fill your water tank. It is located near the marina where you can get pontoon boat tours, watch the manatees and see osprey in their nest. You can also rent kayaks.
