Everglades/Flamingo

Abby Ossa Sarmiento

Went camping last weekend we stayed in A-loop tent camping grounds. So fun. So serene. Lots of mosquitoes but it's Florida so go prepared and deal with it. Saw shooting stars, spotted a spoonbill. The marina has whatever supplies needed. Definitely going back soon to explore further more. I recommend to nature lovers

The Wild Women on the Water had a great weekend at Flamingo Everglades Park. We were welcomed by Ruben and Dylan who checked us in to our houseboat. Angelo was nice enough to move another houseboat so our group could be together. We went on a back country tour with Captain Bobby, Lucky, and Cheese where we learned a lot about the trees and the birds. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful. We will be back!

I spent a full week at the Flamingo Campground and I thought it was rather great. People were friendly, sites were level, paved roads made travel easy, and the electric works great. I didn't have any problems filling up with fresh water (as there are no water connections at the site) and the dump station was easily accessible. My only complaint, and the fine folks at the campground can't do anything about it, is literal clouds of mosquitos out there. I got bit up. Bad. We were there at a time when we were the only RV out there other than one other so we had a lot of space to move about and do whatever. Plenty of wildlife around. I found alligators, manatees, and crocs over at the marina. Lots of birds to be seen. Found one rather angry cotton mouth snake. The campground is an hour away from anything but it wasn't a bad tide given the scenery. If you're wondering about cell service - Verizon got absolutely nothing. ATT had great connection. I would give this full marks and I would love to stay again sometime.

Do not camp here in the summer!! I reserved a tent camping spot for Aug. 25-28. The park should not even be open for camping now. They said there are bugs on their website.... This isn't bugs, it is insanity. I have never seen so many mosquitoes. It is disgusting. We had bug repellent; it didn't matter. We got into the tent as fast as possible, still there were easily 200 mosquitoes in the tent. We finally gave up and got a hotel. Asked for a refund by phone but Flamingo stated they don't give them for mosquitoes; that campers should do research. Umm we did but nothing could prepare you for this. The staff was very nice at the park and campground; however the park/Flamingo should close the park to camping and notify campers to make other plans.

FOR THE LOVE OF SWEET GOD DO NOT COME ANYWHERE NEAR HERE IN THE SUMMER. HEAT WAS BEARABLE BUT THE FLIES ARE HORRIBLE. 50 on me seconds after I got out of the car. Bit literally everywhere with bug spray and protective gear. I got bit somehow even in my private area. We left at 12am after not being able to sleep. Swallowed four bugs. Also there wasn’t another soul there Now for the good. Spacious pretty campsites with water nearby, great parking, fire pit, and good shade. Great hiking nearby and lots of wildlife. Go to the amphitheater or visitor center for great ocean views. Very very friendly staff with quick check in and very knowledgeable. Only thing that made us leave was not doing our research would be so fun in the winter.
