I know in these videos we show you a lot and it goes by so fast that sometimes it's hard to keep track of everything. That's why we wrote a full blog post on the Flamingo Camground in the Everglades with all the info you'll need. Please check it at rvlifestyle.com/flamingo-campground-in-the-everglades/
Vultures are alot of fun to have around when you are camping. Cheerful birds.
This is an interesting video so we can see what Flamingo campground is like.
Thank u for "labeling" the critters! 🤗😀
Love your video!!!!!
God's creation is just spectacular. Great video!!! so relaxing.
The Everglades is such a special place.
Hallo. Thank you for letting us see your journey. I am in a wheelchair and my biggest dream is to see alligators in the wild. And you just tell me it can be done. Love it, thanks. Hugs from Stockholm Sweden
The boardwalk at the Ahinga Trail is perfect for wheelchairs and the gators will be right below you. You wont be able to count all the gators you'll see!
@@RVLifestyle Nice. Thanks for telling me. It is on my bucket list. Hugs
Well done.
My husband and I just stayed at the EcoTent site in Everglades National Park. But never again! The only reason to stay in these tents is so you can have a lovely view of the water and the sunset as you retreat for the night and wake up in the morning. To get these beautiful views you need to have your tent flaps up. But our tent was located with our viewing windows on 2 sides about 8 feet from the boardwalk. Yes, we could see the water, but also everyone walking past. And they could see us. And they looked, and they waved, and they even shined lights on us in the middle of the night. It was ridiculous. The fishbowl effect plus the long walk to the not very clean restrooms, the battalions of mosquitoes, the closeness of the tents and total lack of sound privacy, and the inability to have any food at or inside our tent meant that this was not the trip we wanted. We brought great food with us but ended up eating it in the Marina parking lot with mosquitoes all around. We had planned to stay 3 nights as we have loved the Everglades for decades, but the discomfort and disappointment in the EcoTent site meant we left after 1 night. And of course EcoTents of Flamingo Adventures does not give refunds. Never again! Save your money and bring your own tent.
The cormorants around 8:50....looked like tourists.. hehe Thank you for another great video.
Was there in January, loved it!
Beautiful!!😍 Thank you!❤️🙏
Thanks for the neat video on the Everglades. My wife and I live in Venice in south west Florida and have been to the Everglades several times. We recently purchased a 24ft class c and look forward to staying at Flamingo camp ground. Don't know if you were able to visit Shark Valley while you were in the area. It's part of the Everglades and very interesting. Located on rt 41 west of Everglades N. P. It is also part of the N. P. System. We would highly recommend it if you weren't able to see it on your visit. Thanks for your videos and keep up the good work. 👍🙏🌴
Agree completely
Agree with back country boat trip!! What a great time we had. Didn’t camp, but so quiet as compared to Homestead side.
I enjoyed your video. I love Florida's natural side.
I'll be camping in an RV at Flamingo Campground in November, 2020. This video gave me a great idea of what to expect. Thanks!
Great video I didn’t know we had crocodiles in the USA!
Great video thanks for sharing this was the first campsite we went in our rv loved it
I have no idea how I'm going to make everything on my bucket list, but I'm adding this place, #643!
thanks good info
excellent video
Loved this video. My husband and I drove thru the Everglades in the early 70's. Have always wanted to go back with the motorhome we now have. Really eager now that I know about Flamingo Campground. We have heard there are many more snakes in the Everglades now, did you see many?
No
Gators can't move fast out of water. Crocs will jump up. In my experience growing up in the glades
What a beautiful place!
Not really. Addicts and alcoholics
What site did you stay at? That looked like a great site. Were you able to walk to the broad walk from your campsite or did you have to drive there?
Arg...cringed seeing the dog scampering around the fecal colliform wonderland that is the dump station inlet in the ground there...
beautiful!! but no flamingos?
Enjoyed the campground, but was disappointed in the boat ride your.
Loved the video! Was there a fee to stay at the park.
Read the article at rvlifestyle.com/flamingo-campground-in-the-everglades/. It explains prk admission fees and how to get a site.
Hi Mike I just heard there are fires near you guys in Santa Rosa County please stay safe OK
They're quite a ways away... thanks, though.
@@RVLifestyle thats good im glad
We were there in February and it was blistering hot and humid. No electric hookups available and the rude camp hosts would not allow us to park our 19.5' camper van even just a few feet on the lawn to get some tree shade. Our senior dog did not do well. The bathroom was disgusting. The shower floor drain was not working and anyone going into the bathroom had to stand in 2" of dirty shower water. Camp hosts said there was nothing they could do. No see-ims were out in full force. Saw very little wildlife. Probably would never go back there. We did however, enjoy the Tamiami Highway as we headed to Collier Seminole State Park. Saw more wild life and birds there.
Except for vultures.... there were a lot of those!
Allstays only gave it 3 out of 5 stars and it seems like the mosquitoes are the main predators at that campground.
I'm going to guess that Mike is a Capricorn and Jennifer is a Gemini.
Crocodiles or alligators?
Absolutely. Just Google it if you don't believe me. Lots of them.
