Flamingo Eco-Tent Campgrounds

I’ve lived in Florida most of my life and never experienced or visited the Everglades so I decided to give it a try in an Eco tent at the Flamingo Campground. The tents are pretty cool, ours had amazing views of the bay and privacy. The positives would be location, the bed was fairly comfortable, the room had the essentials and it was mosquito proof (for the most part). The negatives would be the trek to the bathhouse (which is in need of updating), lack of privacy (we heard the neighbor go in/out his tent numerous times through the night) and the constant zippering/rolling of doors and windows. If you decide to give it a try, here are some things that would make the stay better. Cool weather bring a blanket (we brought a heated one). A power strip with extension was extremely helpful as there’s only outlet. An extra light (the one in the room is dim) and a wagon made transporting our stuff from the parking lot to the tent much easier. They do provide a few wheel barrows but they must be returned after use. We ate at the Flamingo restaurant for 2 meals and would say overall it’s above average for the price.

Had a great time in their new tents. Finally got to see the crocodiles that live by the marina. Close to many walking trails. We took the boat tour and it was beautiful and our guides were absolutely wonderful. Amazing sunrises and sunsets. We took supplies for fires and big spray but we had an awesome time and can't wait to go back.

Was nice, good bed, no bugs, had extra blankets. Bathrooms were good and clean. No hot water when we were there

You wouldn't even know you were in a tent staying there... Beautiful being out in the open. Bring bug spray for sure. I got a little noisy with the wind flapping the tent and the bed could probably be a little away from the wall as a creaked but definitely loved the location and the atmosphere. Lots of osprey and other birds. No food in the tents but there are picnic areas and fire rings. You do have to go to the bathhouse to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night but everything was lit enough to feel safe.

The tents are fantastic by themselves, with two double beds, fully lined, and roll-over fabric walls that can be rolled up, leaving just the mosquito nets between you and the view, which is lovely. Our tent had the main view to the sea, so we could wake up with the sight of egrets, pelicans and eagles doing their morning rounds. The tents are placed on a flood-prone area, so they are elevated and with a great runway to move around. Bahtrooms are excellent and well kept. The stall is great, always with a smile and ejoying of being there. Highly recommendable.
