Everglades National Park offers wonderful camping opportunities in both the frontcountry and backcountry. While camping is available year-round, persons visiting during the wet season (June through November) should be aware of potentially difficult and uncomfortable conditions. Visitors should also be well-prepared as camping equipment is not available for rent or purchase in the park.
Frontcountry Camping There are two drive-in campgrounds accessible from the Homestead entrance to the park. Pine Island area and Flamingo, and both accommodate tents and RV's with a limited number of group sites. Please click the link above for more details on frontcountry camping.
Backcountry Camping There are a number of ground sites, beach sites, and elevated camping platforms (chickees) available in various locations in the park. Most sites are accessible by canoe, kayak, or motorboat, though a few may be reached by hikers. A backcountry permit is required for all wilderness campsites and issued the day before or day of your trip. Please click on link above for more details on backcountry camping.
