Long Pine Key

Long Pine Key is located within the Everglades National Park near Homestead in Florida and is approximately 75 miles from Miami. This area of the park offers various recreational activities as well as a campground, which is located about seven miles from the main park entrance at the Ernest Coe Visitor Center. The Visitor Center is open all year round from 9am to 5pm and is a good place to obtain information about this part of the park as well as souvenirs.

The campground has 108 drive-up sites for tents and RVs including one group site, which is limited to 15 persons only. Campers will find restrooms, water and a sewer dump station with fresh water fill. However, there are no showers or hook-ups here. In addition to this there is a picnic area nearby with fire grates and more restrooms.

This area of the park has over 28 miles of connecting trails many of which start from the campground. These are not wheelchair accessible but cycling is permitted on some sections that take visitors through pinelands to the Pine Glades Lake. There is a pond nearby for fishing and an amphitheater to the south end of the campground, where winter programs take place.
