Everglades National Park

An out of the ordinary, subtropical array of flora and fauna

Florida, America's 'sunshine state' has a lot of water, and of course, sun! It's a great state for a motorhome road trip, offering an unforgettable journey with a rich wildlife and interesting subtropical vegetation.

Travel to the south of Florida in your motorhome to Everglades National Park which is 80 miles from Fort Lauderdale, 50 miles from Miami and 250 miles from Orlando. The park has 3 entrances but is most accessible through the one located on the southeast side near Homestead and Florida City. Bound by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, you will experience a humid subtropical climate, tall grass, wetlands, and mangroves which dominate the scenery. Outdoor sports lovers will enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking and canoeing.

You will not be disappointed with the interesting wildlife in the area including pythons, alligators and crocodiles. The park is easily explored by motorhome and you will find campsites inside and outside of the park. Enjoy Shark Valley and the Shark Valley Observation Tower with its beautiful view, and don't miss the sunset from the Pa-hay-okee Overlook.
