For Flamingo - Everglades National Park: We stayed in Late February-early March. Big level sites, lots to do including back country boat rides. It’s obviously a campground you have to want to go to, but we think it’s worth the effort, even with the bugs. Just bring your Deet.

For Flamingo - Everglades National Park: The whole secret to Flamingo, from a local who has worked there (and lives in Miami), is that there are two seasons, wet and dry. During January, February and March of a typical year, the Park will be dry and there will have been a couple of short lived cold fronts. This combination will make the mosquito situation easily manageable.
You may get lucky and survive a visit in December or early April. From mid-April to at least mid-December, the mosquitos are intolerable. If you are zipping in, drenched in Deep Woods Off, just to launch your boat and get out on the open water, you may survive. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CAMP.

For Flamingo - Everglades National Park: OMG a lot of Mosquitos and others insects. I couldn’t be outside only inside of the camper.
I do not recommend this site during the mosquitos or other insects season, really really bad. Money wasted.
Sorry about this review!

For Flamingo - Everglades National Park: We really felt adventurous, and pulled in without reservations. Though we could only stay a couple days we really enjoyed this park. Yes, there are mosquitoes, but not any worse than the keys for May. Wearing long pants and shirts make this place tolerable, and don’t expect to cook outside without at least fans... we were the only ones staying in the RV side but there were several campers in the tent side. This is a fantastic park, and lots to see and do.

For Flamingo - Everglades National Park: Check with park service first, we didn't drive in because it was closed due to mosquito season. They are normally bad, but said it was unusually bad this year. Ranger said this is where big spray companies come to test their products.

For Flamingo - Everglades National Park: Breathtakingly beautiful and great for boat n fish. Worst mosquitos ever, we had bugs spray n were covered in blood from smashing the skeeters.
We reserved 2 weeks, couldn't get anybody on phone to change. Nobody at gate at 4pm on weekday. Nice host sd park anywhere.
We paid for 2 weeks but never stayed. Unbearable

For Flamingo - Everglades National Park: I have camped all over the USA. This area of Florida has the highest population of Mosquito's. If you just plan on just staying in your RV you will be ok....but don't plan on having a campfire, or enjoying anything outside. I ran as fast as I could, shook off my clothes, jumped in the Camper and still had to kill 12 of them. Plus you will also have to pay a total of $50 to have all this fun with the entrance fee to the park and the campsite fee.
