We had a great stay, sites were well maintained and open, and plenty of room between campsites. Good central location to drive and see other places in the everglades. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Great campground to spend time in Big Cypress National Preserve. All sites surround the lake and have a lake view. Everyone was quiet and the campground was kept very neat and tidy. The park is well enough away from any city so star gazing is amazing.

The Monument Lake camping for tent camping was good. They now have showers at the bath house. Still have alligators in the lake, who mind their own business, and don't bother anyone. It was a great base camp for exploring Cypress Swamp National Preserve, Thousand Islands area of Everglades National Park, Everglade City, Corkscrew Swamp, and (for a rainy day outing) St Meyers - Edison and Ford's winter quarters . Our campsite was already marked as reserved, with our name all filled out.

The campground was perfect! The restrooms and showers were clean. Everyone was quiet in the evenings and there wasn't a lot of light pollution from other campers so we were able to view the sky! There was a resident gator was out monitoring his domain and rightfully sun soaking. We saw turkeys and lots of other birds. Mosquitos everywhere so bring your bug spray and wood for fires at night. Golden hour is beautiful on the lake. Big Cypress I will be back!

Location was about 25 mins to the Everglades City and Everglades NP & 1.5 hours from Miami.
