This ground campsite is a day or two kayak trip away from Chokoloskee and Everglades City. A free standing tent is (almost) required because your tent is setup on a dock-like structure and tent stakes don't drive well into the dock. If you are creative, you can use rope or twine to tie each side of the tent to the end of the boards. There were two picnic tables when I was last here and there is... This ground campsite is a day or two kayak trip away from Chokoloskee and Everglades City. A free standing tent is (almost) required because your tent is setup on a dock-like structure and tent stakes don't drive well into the dock. If you are creative, you can use rope or twine to tie each side of the tent to the end of the boards. There were two picnic tables when I was last here and there is room for at least 4 two-person tents. We fit three one-person tents on one side of the dock structure and could have fit another. You could do the same on the other side. It is totally peaceful out here, and depending on the time of year you may catch a beautiful sunset. Make sure to bring everything into your tent at night. There are mice living here that will fight over whatever you leave out. You'll hear them at night under the boards as they fight over what the camper before you left behind. Dolphins and alligators also frequent this site. This is a great spot to get away from it all as you head down to Flamingo.
