Flamingo Campground

Campground
A blue, gray and yellow tent is pitched on the grass. Palm tree and open field are behind it.

Flamingo Campground sits at the southernmost tip of Florida with 274 drive-in and walk-up tent sites positioned for direct access to Florida Bay. Sites range from gravel RV pads with full hookups to intimate walk-up tents on the water's edge, all anchored by free hot showers, a dump station, and a working camp store. The vibe is active Dec-April (winter refuge for families and retirees) and quieter June-November (slower season, partial site closures). This is a staging ground for saltwater fishing, canoe trails, and ranger-led programs—not a secluded wilderness camp.

Best Time To Visit
December through April. Peak season for families and retirees with most sites open, active ranger programs, and ideal weather for fishing and paddling. June-November is quieter with partial site closures and higher humidity/insect pressure.
Camp Here If Skip If
✅ BOOK IF: RV owners needing full hookups, families seeking Dec-Apr winter refuge with ranger programs, saltwater fishing and canoe trail enthusiasts. ❌ SKIP IF: Tent campers seeking solitude and wilderness (this is an active staging ground for programs and water sports, not secluded), off-season travelers looking for consistent site availability (June-Nov has partial closures).
Tips Advice
  • Free hot showers and on-site dump station available
  • Camp store stocks supplies for multi-day paddles and fishing trips
  • Saltwater and mangrove flies peak in summer; Dec-Apr offers better conditions
  • Reserve ranger-led programs and fishing charters in advance
  • RV hookups available; mix of drive-in and walk-up tent sites
