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
sounds.{some birds get startled in the night!} There is much to
explore, or just relax and take in some sun. The restorant at the
marina serves three meals and I am particularly fond of the breakfast
buffet. Great way to start the day. Rental boats/canoes/kayaks will
allow for deeper exploration. Everything is available including guided
tours on a variety of vessels. Simply put, Its great camping spot. If
by chance you get there after a lot of rain you had better have long
sleeves and pants. The mesquitos will carry you away in the early
morning, or after sun down. YOU CANT ESCAPE THEM !!! Trust me.,I GAVE
BLOOD!
Bottom line, 5 out of my 6 trips there were no mesquitos, and it was just wonderful. Remember to buy your food, drinks, etc. before the hour long drive in. There are no 7-11s in the park.If possible, watch the weather, and plan your visit accordingly. Enjoy the experience, I always do.
