Plan Your Visit/Camping

Campgrounds
Two drive-in campgrounds are located within the park.  The
Long Pine Key Campground is located six miles from the Ernest Coe Visitor Center.  The Flamingo Campground is located near the Flamingo Visitor Center on the shores of Florida Bay.

Accommodations
Both campgrounds can accommodate tents and RVs.  A limited number of group sites are also available.

Fees
Nightly fees are currently $16.00 per site at either campground.  If you have a Golden Age card (U.S. Citizen 62 or over) or a Golden Access Card (permanently disabled), camping is half price. This does not apply to group sites, which are $30.00 per night.  Owing to limited usage and difficult conditions, camping is typically free of charge during the
wet season.

Reservations
Sites are available in the Long Pine Key Campground on a first-come, first-serve basis only.  Reservations are not accepted, except for group camping (minimum 10 people) after November 20.

Reservations are accepted at the Flamingo Campground, and are strongly recommended.  Reservations can either be made online or by calling 1-877-444-6777 (International: 518-885-3639), after November 20.

 

 
 
Roseate Spoonbill  

Did You Know?
The pink coloration of the Roseate Spoonbill comes from a red pigment, related to Vitamin A, found in some crustaceans that they eat. Look for them foraging among the shallows of Everglades National Park.
