Basic but nice, clean campground. Hot showers. Very friendly hosts. The lake was full of gators. It was a little difficult to exercise the dog since I couldn't walk her close to the lake and dogs aren't allowed on any trails in Big Cypress (for good reason). I'd love it if campgrounds with strict dog regulations had designated dog exercise areas- just putting that out there. Big Cypress is beautiful! I'd stay at Monument Lake again.

Liked the laud back feel, enjoyed the pond with gators and birds.
Loved the close proximity to many Everglades activities.

This campground is so beautiful! Close to Everglades City where you can catch a kayak or airboat tour, and Shark Valley, a great place to rent a bike.

Great tent only section. Small campground around a small pond. Quiet and everyone follows the rules. Has showers but not very hot.

I had Site 1 and it was a great site. Really spacious and private. The creek ran behind the site which led to the main river within a short walk. The bathrooms/ showers were not as great. They are old and a bit dirty. The camp host is far removed from the rest of the site so he/she could not hear the generator that was been ran during quite hours.
