Monument Lake Campground

Great camp ground host. Nice clean bathrooms. Contractor that put the shower floor in did a terrible job with the drainage.

I stayed in a tent. A simple campground setup, a nice lake to view, with a resident alligator. Bathrooms and shower were really nice. Easy access to main road. Would definitely stay again.

Our next door neighbor, a couple, was tenting. They were homeless and using this campground in 2 week intervals. On the site they had a large panel truck and a car as well as a very large tent - taking up every inch of the campsite. All of their stuff was left out side and spread everywhere. Conduct like this ruins the atmosphere of a National Preserve campground.

Great campground! Stars are amazing! Bathrooms are really clean! Nice hosts! Some of the RV campers were pretty loud during quiet hours, but that’s the risk you run with camping in general.

Monument Lake was a great campground. The hosts were amazing and helpful, the site was large and had great views, centrally located to the major trails and attractions, and the stargazing was incredible.

We enjoyed our stay at Monument Lake. The hosts were very pleasant and helpful. Sure would like to see electric at the campsites! Love that they now have a shower!

great campground in a beautiful natural area.Fairly dark at night, dark is good.

The camp host Chris is outstanding.It's impossible to imagine a better person for this job. Thanks for everything

Came for the stars as Monument Lake is listed as being in one of the darkest places in the US, it did not disappoint, somewhat close to living in the boonies as a kid. Kind of annoying tho there is a distinct glow off east from Miami. Bugs were not that bad, used spray and wrist bracelets. Very inexpensive campground, but of course there was no electric, water or sewer in the campground. There was a free water intake and sewer dump for campers in one of the nearby campgrounds. The staff was very friendly and volunteered much local information. Saw several alligators, turtles, lots of birds etc. Never saw a snake or bear, but they are supposed to be around in the area. Overall I got what I came for, and may camp there again, but earlier in the year as the weather was starting to get hot.

The setting of the campground is beautiful and each site is well maintained and spacious. I had a strong internet/cell reception thanks to a nearby tower. I preselected a spot next to the vault toilets only to arrive and find out that they were closed. The other bathroom was on the opposite side of the lake, and that morning lost electricity so all the people were coming from the other side of the lake to the closed toilets by my campsite. So aside from the toilet situation I would give this a high rating.

Lovely little spot.
