We're worldwide campers (deserts, mountains, rainforest) but this was the most miserable camping trip I have ever had. We were there in December, when the bugs aren't supposed to be bad, but even when we climbed in the tent,leaving the mosquitoes behind, we had no-see-ums that bit all exposed skin all night. After two nights "camping" (we left first thing... More

Last year, I finally had enough of the holiday madness. I snapped. A new convention needed to be established with a quickness. So, I decided to something different: go camping on Christmas Eve! Not just any camping, either. Primitive camping, in the Everglades. A few weeks earlier, a grumpy, old disk jockey by the name of Dr. Rich was talking... More

I loved this place! I set up my tent so that I could look over the bay and it was absolutely beautiful! They had nice showers and bathrooms were clean. Definitely will be back! More

It takes a little while to get down here from the Everglades National park entrance in Florida City, but well worth spending a few nights here. Very peaceful, tranquil camp on the side of the Florida Bay, right by the water. 1 mile from the Flamingo Visitor Centre for canoe and boat trips and ranger led talks and walks (highly... More

Flamingo is much more interesting than the Pine in that you can view alligators and exotic birds living around the marina and canal. The Pine... More

Here is the information I was looking for prior to our trip. We booked a walk-in site online, but you really pick a site that is available when you get there. The sites are spaced out in the big field. The beach front sites are the best, but farthest to walk to. The walk-in sites are only about 50 yards.... More

Ive been to Flamingo Campground 6 times since 1980. Im headed down again this feb. For the nature lover, this is a very nice place to camp. A true taste of the glades. Nice bay view campsites with level ground,cooking grills, some picnic tables,and bathrooms within 300ft of most sites. You can listen to waves breaking, and exotic nightly jungle... More

the skeeter thing is tricky. If there is a good wind after a rain, the water will dry up and no skeeters, if not unbearable. Sometimes there are "0" skeeters and the campground is the nicest in the world, and I just love it. ok More
