Starting January 2, 2023, all Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness campsites will only be available for advanced reservations on Recreation.gov. There will no longer be campsites held as "walk-up." Campsites will be open for reservations 90 days in advance. Rangers can still assist campers in booking an unreserved site on the day of their trip. This change allows campers to independently plan their wilderness camping itinerary. It also removes the need to travel to the visitor center to purchase "walk-up" sites. For questions about the Flamingo District please contact the Guy Bradley Visitor Center. For the Gulf Coast District, please direct questions to the Nathaniel P. Reed Visitor Center at Big Cypress National Preserve.
Please visit recreation.gov to make an advanced reservation for wilderness campsites.
Reservations are released daily on a rolling basis, 3 months in advance starting at 10 a.m. ET. You may book your reservation online up to and including the day of your trip.
