This is a campground I can recommend to 100%
The sites are large, all have a firering, table and bench. Washrooms with shower are cleaned every day and very sober.
Host Bob and his Team absolutely friendly and supportive. The whole campground is super maintained. Located at Tamiami Trail it offers lots of entertainment such as powerboat, canoeing, hiking trails. Everglades City (21 mi) offers opportunity to shop food, firewood and also tools and fishing equipment. There are also restaurants.
In 11 mi in direction West I recommend Joan's Blue Crab cafe which offers very delicious food.
No dumpstation but you can dump at Midway Campround (8 mi).
Monument Lake is a good place for watching wildlife like many birds, alligators an turtles.
It is a calm and peaceful beautiful place!

Clean and well maintained park was a pleasure to camp! Very quiet and great amenities. 10/10 will visit again!

Just be careful following the GPS/phone directions to the campground and follow the street signs. If not, you'll wind up about 1/4 mi East in the Indian Village.

The place is beautiful! Had a great spot in #14. The ranger and the Host were very helpful and friendly.
It turns out I wasn't very prepared for the onslaught of mosquitoes. Millions. We ended up packing up 3 hours after setting up.

unexpectedly beautiful campground. We had site #3 and stay one more night at site #1

Even though the lake was artificially created, it is a very beautiful place.

The bathrooms are very well maintained and were extremely clean!

The highlight, in addition to the many alligators in the lake, was that we were able to see a bear in the morning directly behind site #3 (about 100 ft away)
