We stayed at Monument Lake for one evening as we were traveling from St. Petersburg to Key West. The campground was clean, our campsite (#28) was spacious and had a great view of the sunset. We are looking forward to spending more time at Monument Lake to checkout the sights in Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglade N.P.

What a gem of a campground. Sites were comfortable, clean, quiet. They have a bath house with hot water showers and water available for tanks. The lake is beautiful and location is easy for site-seeing in the area. Would definitely return.

This was our third stay at little Monument Lake. Each time has been lovely. The facility and surrounds have always been well-kept. It's a great place to stay while enjoying birding and alligator watching at Big Cypress National Preserve. Thank you.

Great location to Shark Valley Bike Trail, Marsh Trail, Big Cypress National Preserve Visitor Centers are must stops for guidance and maps for things to do. We loved the ranger led canoe trip.
