Everglades National Park is a tropical paradise for campers interested in exploring an exceptionally biodiverse wilderness. A World Heritage Site, International Biosphere Reserve, and a Wetland of International Importance, Everglades National Park is one of the largest national parks in the USA.
Open year round, Everglades is particularly popular during the cooler months, when the bugs are least active. The park encompasses several walking trails with some campsites alongside the marina. However, if you’re thinking of visiting, you may want to avoid swimming, as many predators such as barracudas and sharks are present in the waters.
