This is an awesome park! We stayed here for 2 nights otw to Key West. We did have a great airboat ride and dinner at Triad in Everglades City. The park was at maybe 20% when we were there last week so it was quiet for sure. No electric or sewer. There is water by the bathhouse which is also very clean with a wonderful shower. There’s also a dumpster for trash by the entrance/exit. You will see alligators! The night sky does not disappoint either!

Large sites. Some shaded. Large Lake containing alligators. Excellent cellular service. Shower has hot water. Needs electric for RV sites.

The facilities were awesome and the camp hosts very helpful.

Our biggest complaint is all the generator nose coming from surrounding campers. We don't use a generator. The campground needs a "No Generators" area

Loved this location. Seemed to be in the center of the preserve. I have a stargazing window and the night sky didn’t disappoint. Sunrise and sunset were amazing.
The volunteers and park guest were friendly and helpful. The shower (only one) was great and the accessory holder was a bonus.
Posted was a list of activities to schedule through the visitor center. I went on two different swamp walks. Two total different experiences. The rangers are very knowledgeable.
I hope to go back for more adventures.
