Campground Overview

About Pink Jeep Campground

Pink Jeep Campground offers a rugged backcountry experience in the heart of Florida's swamplands, challenging adventurers with primitive amenities and rewarding them with unparalleled access to Big Cypress National Preserve's wild beauty.

This remote campground features nine basic sites nestled among palmetto trees, providing a sense of privacy and immersion in nature. Campers must be self-sufficient, as the grounds offer only vault toilets and fire rings, with no running water or electricity available. The campground's isolation and lack of development create an ideal setting for stargazing and wildlife observation, particularly for those seeking to spot elusive Florida panthers or diverse bird species.

Located deep within the Bear Island Unit of Big Cypress National Preserve, Pink Jeep Campground is approximately 20 miles from the nearest paved road. The surrounding area is characterized by a unique mix of cypress swamps, wet prairies, and slightly elevated pine forests, offering a glimpse into Florida's primordial landscape. Within a short drive, visitors can explore the scenic Loop Road, known for its excellent wildlife viewing opportunities and access to short hiking trails that showcase the preserve's diverse ecosystems.

Pink Jeep Campground caters to experienced campers and outdoor enthusiasts looking for an authentic wilderness experience. It serves as an excellent base for extended backcountry explorations, off-road vehicle adventures on designated trails, and immersive nature photography trips. The campground's challenging access - requiring an off-road vehicle, bicycle, or on-foot approach - ensures that those who make the journey are rewarded with a truly secluded camping experience far from the crowds typically found in more accessible Florida campgrounds.
