From here, the campground is separated into two loops with road access encircling the campsites of each. Following a right turn to the northwest after the registration office, you are taken to T-Loop which is available for RV and tent camping with multiple pull-through style campsites. Trash receptacles are in the center median as you enter this loop following the one-way road to the right. Many sites in this area have electricity and water. Two shower and restroom facilities are in the loop area. The first one has a water source and a sanitary pump-out station for RVs. Some sites have shade trees. A campground host is located at site number 16. <br /><br />If following the road straight to the west from the registration office, A-Loop will be entered which is a tent camping only area. The one-way loop will take you past turn outs for vehicles and campsites. Some sites have shade trees. Two facilities provide showers and restrooms, the first one has a water source and sanitary pump-out station. <br /><br />Most of the campsites in these two loops have picnic table and fire ring access. Additional sites can be found by following the outbound lane from the registration office. By taking an immediate right turn to the southeast, the ECO Tent area will be on the right between the road and Florida Bay connected by a series of slightly elevated walkways. These tan enclosed canvas-like structures are often available in a furnished condition with each having electricity and a fan. Some Eco Tents are wheelchair accessible. Restrooms and water are available at a facility close to the Eco Tents walkway access. <br /><br />Continuing past the Eco Tents towards the east and located on the right is a low-lying grassy area with some fire rings and picnic tables. This is the walk-in tent camping and group site area located between the road and Florida Bay. This area does not have shade available. The restroom and water source facility is located just past the area where the road ends in a loop to take you back towards the registration office and main park road. <br /><br />Parking is available at all loop individual campsites whereas the Eco Tent and walk-in area have small parking lots along the road.

","audio_description":"Turning off the main park road to the Long Pine Key day use and camping area, is the pine rockland habitat. Pine rocklands are characterized by tall slash pine trees, with peeling brown bark and high green needles. The ground between the spaced out pine trees is a low lying shrubby mixture of saw palmettos, dense grasses numerous wooded shrubs. Craggy, chalky white limestone characterizes the ground, and can make walking off path difficult. If there has been a fire recently, there can be charred remains of burnt trees and crunch ash on the pineland floor<br />Follow the slowly winding Pinelands road to a forked split to either the campground or a day use area. A slight left will take you to the campground. A white building with a green metallic roof welcomes campers to the Long Pine Key Campground. Behind this entrance station is a small patch of grass containing several garbage receptacles and tall information boards including a map of the campground and interpretive information about fire’s role in the habitat. A red payphone stands next to the information boards.<br />The campground road follows a one-way counter clockwise loop, approximately a mile in length, that is in the shape of an oval. Slash pine trees are the dominant plant species, but a wide variety of small shrubs such as beauty berry and sumac add purple or red to the green foliage. <br />As you follow the road around in a slow arc moving south west, the loop is bisected by alphabetized roads ascending from ‘A’ to ‘K’. Each lettered road has anywhere between 5-7 camping areas. Camping areas include a paved slab for vehicle parking, a mowed lawn area, a circular black metal fire ring with a grill attachment, and a 6 or 8 foot gray picnic table.<br />On alternating lettered roads, the restrooms sit in white buildings with green roofs and have two separate entrances on either side. White cement shower buildings have tall green roofs which are covered by solar panels for water heating.<br />Through the vegetation to the north, there is a large blue human made lake, which surrounds an island with dozens of tall slash pines sitting atop the rocky outcrop.  <br />At the loop halfway point lies a small parking area and a paved, lighted walking path leading to an amphitheater. The amphitheater hugs the lakeside shoreline and contains twelve rows of benched seating, bisected by a center aisle. A large white wooden backdrop faces the benches as well as a presentation podium for a speaker.<br /><br />The road begins to circle around the loop and now heads to the northeast. The lettered roads begin to move up from ‘K’ to ‘A’ and there are spaced out camp areas on either side. To the south the Pine Rockland habitat extends for over a mile, with the tall slash pines looming over the campground.<br /><br />Following the road, to its completion the entrance station is approached from the opposite side and you can exit the campground area back to the Long Pine Key Road.<br />","classification":1,"showers":["Free - Year Round","Hot - Year Round"],"reservationDescription":"There are two drive-in campgrounds accessible from the Homestead entrance of the park: Long Pine Key Campground and Flamingo Campground.

There is a crosswalk on the east side, allowing for safe crossing to the visitor center building.<br /><br />As you approach the visitor center there will be accessible restrooms, a water fountain and a water bottle filling station on the north side. On the south side, you will see an open Everglades interpretive area, with a large park map and information on places you can check out. There are also garbage and recycling bins.<br /><br />There is a boardwalk that takes you to the visitor center and there are a few interpretive signs along the boardwalk’s railing. About 60 yards (55 meters) down the boardwalk you will reach the front doors to the visitor center. There is a silver button with a blue accessibility symbol on the south side. After you go through the front doors, you will enter the foyer. In the foyer, there is a silver button with a blue accessibility symbol on the right-hand side. In the visitor center, there is a bookstore on your left-hand side. The bookstore sells clothing, books, gifts and other items. Across the bookstore, on the right, there is a large Everglades map mounted on the wall. The map describes points of interest and places to visit while in the park. To the right of the bookstore, there is a large green and brown desk staffed by Park Rangers and volunteers. Park maps, Junior Ranger booklets and other information are available there. There is a television above the information desk and to the right. The screen shows weather information, a schedule of ranger programs and other pertinent information that varies seasonally.<br /><br />Across from the information desk, is a large and detailed exhibit called “Winter Refuge in a Gator Hole”. This circular exhibit allows the visitor to feel things such as an alligator tail and alligator tracks. The exhibit is replicating an alligator hole in the winter. There is a large alligator replica in the center, with bird replicas hanging from the ceiling, and more birds and vegetation surrounding the alligator and along the edge of the exhibit. As you follow the circular exhibit, there are screens on the exhibit panel that show alligator behavior and at the far end of the circular exhibit is a replica mother alligator with her young. Across from the circular exhibit and back towards the front doors is a movie theater that plays the park’s orientation film on request. Between the doors of the movie theater is an exhibit on the Nike Missile Site housed in a glass case and illuminated by a single lamp. The case contains newspaper clippings and other artifacts from the Cuban Missile Crisis. Across from the Nike Missile Site and to the right of the far end of the circular exhibit is an exhibit about birds. The exhibit is a small, dark booth with two spotting scopes. Birds can be seen flying in a video through the spotting scopes. Across from the exhibit with the spotting scopes, is an exhibit called ‘The Great Water Debate’<br /><br />that explains water issues in South Florida. Different telephone receivers can be picked up and one could listen to the opinions and concerns of various stakeholders about water in the Everglades.<br /><br />To the right of ‘The Great Water Debate’ is a wall mural called ‘The Big Picture’ and it shows how human activity has disturbed the Everglades ecosystem endangering the environment and life within it. On the exhibit panel are lighted buttons that can be pressed to show different aspects of the Everglades.<br /><br />To the left of ‘The Great Water Debate’ exhibit, is a mosaic tile design of South Florida on the floor. There are large windows showing the patio area and to the left is an exhibit on invasive species. The invasive species exhibit is a brown kiosk with a small television screen that shows a video playing on a loop. On the other side of the mosaic tile design of South Florida is an exhibit on the past and present-day indigenous Seminole and Miccosukee peoples and their lands. To the left of the Seminole and Miccosukee exhibit, are double doors that lead to the visitor center patio. There is a silver button with a blue accessibility symbol on the right-hand side on the wall. The patio has rocking chairs, benches and interpretive signs. The deck in the patio overlooks a large freshwater borrow pit lined with tall and green vegetation.","emailAddress":"4E93DEA9A2DAA1BA9BA91EAEED1EA4A36693569C12B18389","telephoneDescription":"","visitorCenterImage":"/common/uploads/structured_data/BCB7A52F-F209-9BEE-858860F39F18CEFE_thumb.jpg","telephoneNumberFax":"305-242-7728","mailing_address":{"line_3":"","city":"Homestead","postal_code":"33034     ","line_2":"","line_1":"40001 State Road 9336","state_code":"FL"},"name":"Ernest F.

Information on tram and bicycle prices, tour length, and expectations of your experience are<br />posted outside the building. There are a couple of large satellite images, to the left of the door, showing<br />the fifteen-mile long path and the habitats that it traverses through.<br />The large, white building holds both a visitor center and a concessionaire for bicycle and tram<br />tour sales. Alongside the main entrance doors is a blue accessibility symbol on the right-hand side. The<br />right-hand door will open automatically into a foyer where an extremely large black and white mural by<br />Clyde Butcher is displayed. The mural depicts a sawgrass prairie in wet season, with the classic Shark<br />Valley Lookout Tower in the background. The quote by Gifford Pinchot (Pin – Shoh), “It is a region so<br />different that it hardly seems to belong to the United States. It is full of the most vivid and interesting<br />life on land, in the air, and in the water,” is placed in the middle of the mural. If you would like to talk to<br />the concessionaire, turn right, otherwise head left into the well-lit, Shark Valley Visitor Center.<br />As you turn left into the visitor center, immediately upon the left wall is the floor plan with a<br />tactile braille display. An emergency exit plan is displayed as well.<br />As you walk further into the visitor center, to your left, a four-foot-tall wooden board rests<br />against the wall and details the height of several Florida birds. This is fascinating for our younger visitors.<br />Next to the bird display is our stamp table, a very popular item. To the right of the stamps is the ranger<br />station, where numerous pamphlets and informational brochures are available. Behind the ranger<br />station, upon the wall is an enormous map of Everglades National Park, detailing all the visitor centers,<br />trails and ecosystems. To the left of the park map is a blowup map of the 15-mile paved Shark Valley<br />Loop Trail. Two TV screens to the left and right of the park map show a continual slideshow of<br />information on weather, ranger programs and frequently asked questions. Two wheelchairs are<br />available and placed behind the ranger desk. Various Everglades educational props can be found on<br />display behind the ranger desk. To the right of the ranger desk, is an additional surface filled with<br />brochures on Everglades National Park, invasive species and junior ranger books.<br />If you turn around, the opposite side of the room contains more exhibits for hands-on learning.<br />Along the far wall is an exhibit detailing the differences between Florida’s wet and dry seasons. The<br />display shows a month by month basis, detailing the temperature, humidity and hydroperiod (amount of<br />time that water is present) within Everglades National Park. Furthermore, there is a touch table display<br />detailing how water flows during wet season, the importance of periphyton (puh-rif-i-ton), how the land<br />topography affects the water flow and why this area is called the River of Grass. Additional mini displays<br />explain common Florida animals and how their lifecycles are tied to the seasonal changes in Everglades<br />National Park. A detailed photo of an alligator mentions how they are ecosystem engineers. A large<br />three-dimensional wood stork stalks and hunts for fish across a display that mentions their role in the<br />Everglades as well.<br />In the center of the room is a teardrop shaped, standalone exhibit. It is covered with photos of<br />Everglades ecosystems. If you open the doors on the display, additional information on the Everglades <br />equation can be found. A door on the limestone bedrock, hardwood hammocks, willow heads and<br />sawgrass marsh open under your hands and provide additional details on their roles. This display tells<br />the story of swamp manipulation that began in the 1880s, and how important the protected area of<br />Shark Valley is today.<br />To your right after leaving the exhibit area is a set of glass doors that lead you out of the visitor<br />center, and under a canopy, where you can wait for your designated tram tour to begin. As you wait,<br />you can sit upon several benches, and enjoy a park film which will prepare you for your exploration of<br />Shark Valley.
