Everything was awesome and the host were every helpful

We had a great time tent camping here. The campground is near a cellular tower which was convenient. It is halfway between Everglades City and Shark Valley visitor center, convenient to too much nature, fishing, wildlife. The camp host was very nice and informative and a rager came and gave a night sky presentation that was quite informative. I highly recommend this spot.

Great campsite! Restrooms were clean, other campers were polite, pretty spot right on the lake. Hot showers are the icing on the cake.

Very unorganized had to move camp sites other camper thought they had extra night but did not eventually had it sorted out but staff needs to be better on the check in and check out times
@SarahK3888645 · Camped on Feb 28, 2025 at Campsite #27
The dark sky was perfect for viewing the parade of planets. The campground was quiet, respectful and clean. The only thing I wish it had was more visible numbering on the campsites. We arrived after dark and couldn't see any site numbers so needed to look online to figure out which site was ours.
@AaronND69648F6 · Camped on Feb 27, 2025 at Campsite #5
The hosts or volunteers who oversee the park were very rude and not very accommodating. We did not leave are campsite and were asked to move are tent 3 times in a very short period . Therefore I would not recommend this park due to the powerstruggling pair of hosts .
@RonaldK6773497 · Camped on Feb 27, 2025 at Campsite #13
Nice place, friendly host . Only thing there are no clear cut spots to put your tent and it becomes a bit weird if its booked full to decide who sets up where. clean bathrooms . not a lot of shade on this side for the tent campers . best side for shade is the north side but that's for rv and campers only
@GaryH6725051 · Camped on Feb 23, 2025 at Campsite #25
Very clean ( bathroom and shower ) facility was very nice, quiet, dark at night and hosts were super helpful and friendly I will be there again, probably next year ! Thanks for a great visit !
@PatriciaT51824 · Camped on Feb 21, 2025 at Campsite #9
Work had been done where stone was put down and then 1 inch of dirt over it for tent sites. This is not enough to get stakes in. Staff aware of this problem yet did nothing to assist with moving to a better location stating I would have to pay for a whole other site. unimpressed with greed over appropriate sites also unimpressed with lack of help from staff

Monument Lake campground was wonderful! Make sure you don't miss the evening Ranger lectures.
@ReneeL6939274 · Camped on Feb 20, 2025 at Campsite #18
Lovely campground. Nice bath with hot showers - pretty clean, too! Only problem was rambunctious campers with SPOTLIGHTS and MUSIC going until midnight on Friday night. The camp hosts warned us there might be some shenanigans, but seems as if there was no monitoring of the situation after night fall. Not sure what could be done about it - - but those campers were pretty rude! I think a start might be to have folks park the way the sites are set up - so they can't hide behind a camper that is perpendicular to the campground road. ?? as a thought.
@TomH4673678 · Camped on Feb 20, 2025 at Campsite #27
Friendly staff and great facilities! Loved the location!
@KathleenC43968 · Camped on Feb 20, 2025 at Campsite #36
Very nice campsites surrounding a small lake. Only one main bathroom, but small pit toilets near all sites. The only water was at the main building.
@Elizabeth33411 · Camped on Feb 19, 2025 at Campsite #15
This campground was excellent. Camping here made our Everglades experience even better!!
@JoeV6E0C4895A4 · Camped on Feb 18, 2025 at Campsite #27

@BillG2092969 · Camped on Feb 17, 2025 at Campsite #32
This campground was fantastic. Very clean, safe and very quiet. The night sky was indeed spectacular. A great place to stay for a few nights
@TamaraS213BF57 · Camped on Feb 16, 2025 at Campsite #24
Campground was perfect for our 3 night stay! Clean, tidy and well maintained. We were in a camper van and really appreciated the clean showers and baths. Host/Hostess were friendly and available. Enjoyed getting some steps in walking around the lake each morning.
@GuylaineL3B248 · Camped on Feb 14, 2025 at Campsite #24
Endroit calme dans un bel environnement. Nous avons bien aim.

@Elizabeth38460 · Camped on Feb 13, 2025 at Campsite #13
Friendly volunteers! Quiet. Took the scenic loop off 41 and saw lots of beautiful birds and alligators! Saw a beautiful sunset!!
@AbraA3C4E3DF94 · Camped on Feb 8, 2025 at Campsite #4
Excellent area. We stayed at site 4, huge tent only site. Everything is exposed so be prepared. Heavy dew and bring a thermacell ...or two.
@MarthaDCC23B6C · Camped on Feb 5, 2025 at Campsite #33
Super nice camp hosts. Clean and spacious.
@LornaHAFC6F546 · Camped on Feb 4, 2025 at Campsite #38
Very nice campground. Lots were above average size for a National Park. The park host was very knowledgeable. The compost toilets were kept clean. The bathrooms were kept clean. There are 3 stalls and 1 shower with hot water in the ladies bathroom. There were several alligators in the lake which was cool to see. Sunrise and sestet were beautiful. It was located reasonably close to Everglades City, a cool small Florida town. Not too far from the Everglades Flamingo section of the park. In early February it was still quite warm during the days and evenings so be prepared for warm evening with no electricity.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
