Deb cooking at our site at Flamingo Campground in the park.
Flamingo Campground - Located at the end of the main park road in Flamingo. It has 234 drive-in sites, including 55 with a view of the water and three group sites, and 40 walk-up sites (6 on the water's edge). It also provides cold water showers, two dump stations, picnic tables, and grills. Flamingo has several hiking trails and canoe trails, and opportunities for saltwater fishing are plentiful. The Lodge, restaurant, and gift shop sustained extensive damage from Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma in 2005 and remain closed. To date, there is no projected date when these facilities will reopen. The Marina Store and gas station are open.
