Towering pines cast dappled shadows across secluded campsites at Long Pine Key Campground, offering a tranquil Everglades retreat mere minutes from park highlights. This seasonal campground provides a rare opportunity to camp amidst one of the largest remaining stands of South Florida slash pine forest, with sites thoughtfully arranged to maximize privacy and natural immersion.

The campground features clean restroom facilities, potable water, and a convenient dump station to accommodate both tent and RV campers. A nearby fishing pond and network of hiking trails allow visitors to easily explore the diverse pineland ecosystem. In the evenings, ranger-led programs at the on-site amphitheater provide enriching insights into the Everglades' unique environment.

Located just seven miles from Everglades National Park's main entrance near Homestead, Long Pine Key serves as an ideal base for park exploration. The renowned Anhinga Trail, where visitors can spot abundant wildlife including alligators and wading birds, is a short drive away. The campground's strategic location also provides convenient access to other park attractions like Mahogany Hammock and Pa-hay-okee Overlook, allowing campers to fully immerse themselves in the Everglades' varied landscapes during their stay.
