Hey all,

My wife and I and her parents are planning to visit the everglades in a couple of weeks time. Can anybody recommend comfortable, reasonably priced hotel/guesthouse/self-catering options that we should consider?

Thanks

Dave

Dave,

The only accommodation in the Everglades NP is in Flamingo, not sure of the quality or whether it is open all year round. We stayed at the Travelodge in Florida City and drove in from there (not far).

Cheers,

Mark

MAy be worth checking this out, some years ago I stayed at Flamingo Lodge. Ok but nothing special. I was under the impression, though, that it had now closed in terms of accommodation and there was nothing in the park. I may well be wrong though.

Regards

The are no functioning lodges currently within the park. The lodge at Flamingo was destroyed during Hurricane Wilma in 2005 and has yet to be rebuilt.

Judging by the people I guide for birding at the park, most seem to stay in Florida City or Homestead. There is a strip of hotels right along US1/S Dixie Hwy.

NANPA (North American Nature Photography Assoc) has a small conference in the Everglades at the end of February. They are staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Florida City.
