Camp Everglades
South Florida Council Boy Scout Camp
Camp Everglades is a great, natural property owned by the South Florida Council, Boys Scouts of America. The 253-acre campground is located within the Everglades National Park. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets are common in this campground with clear views of the horizon in the east and the west. The campground is primarily pine Rockland forest with eight primitive campsites, a main campfire arena, a main covered shelter, and pump wells. Running water, hot showers, and sinks are located near the main shelter and are available for all to use. Stoves, refrigerators and electricity are located at the main shelter. Three eco- friendly composting toilets and portable toilets are located permanently at the camp. If you are holding a large event you may want to rent additional portable toilets. Garbage disposal facilities are NOT available, and all garbage must be taken with you when you leave camp.
Most campsites have their own shelter with patrol tables and a camp fire area. Water pipes (1 ¼ “diameter) are close to each campsite. Some pitcher pumps are available in the main shelter. It is recommended that you bring your own pitcher pump if you have one. A large area has also been cleared for activities. If your group decides to explore the Everglades, the National Park requires that you pay the necessary fees at the front gate. Camp Everglades also has a hiking trail that circles the area. Alligators and many birds are typical sites along the trail. The pine Rockland forest also provides an excellent wildlife area for nature programs. Flowers, animals, insects, reptiles and water fowl are abundant in their seasons. The recommended camping season is from November to May. Beyond these months, the area returns to its natural state a river of grass”. Reservations are made through the South Florida Council Office. A valid tour permit is required for admission to the Park System
