The staff is very lenient on the rule concerning not parking on grass. We were able to ride our ebikes to the visitor center by Anhinga Trail and to the Nike missile site. Hit the showers on a sunny day, early in the afternoon if you want hot water. Although we showed no cell signal on Google Fi (aka T-Mobile) we got 4 bars LTE with our WeBoost destination. That's the one with the 20-ft antenna pole. My sis had good Verizon.

Campsite fees per night: $30 Mon-Thurs, $35 Fri-Sun, $55 for group sites. (There was a 10% sales tax charge). Campground is open November 1st through April 30th. If you do not have a National Park pass there is a $30 entrance fee per vehicle.
This campground is located in Everglades National Park. Campsites are NOT booked through recreation.gov, it is booked through Flamingo Adventures. That means no 50% discount for seniors or access pass holders, it is only 10%. The CANCELLATION policy is: A $15 change fee applies to all changes or cancellations made after booking. Cancellations inside of 48 hours are non-refundable. 3 days prior to my check in I had to delay our arrival by 2 days. I was fully prepared to pay the $15 change fee, but the employee gave me a refund for the 2 days and immediately sent a new confirmation email.
Check in is at 3:00 PM. Check out 10:00 AM. To me 1000 seems like an early check out, especially when check in is at 3:00 pm. Seems extra early when your check out day lands on Spring Forward day, ask me how I know! 🙄
Quiet hours 10pm to 6am. No generator use 8pm to 8am. Stays of more than 14 nights are not permitted.
Amenities include: bathhouses, dump station, and potable water.
Booked site on line months ago. I’ve seen mixed reviews about their site sizes. We are a 37 foot Class A motorhome. Booked a site for 38-45 feet because we thought we had to park the car and RV on the pad. According to their rules, including the email sent to us it states (in red letters) VERY IMPORTANT: there is NO parking or driving allowed on any grass inside Everglades National Park and only two cars & two tents allowed per campsite. Upon arrival to the park we were assigned a site. Also, instructed to park the RV on the pad and to parallel park the car on the grass near the front of the site. While the 37 foot Class A fit in the site, I’m not sure a 45 foot RV would have fit. It seemed like many of the spaces weren’t quite as big as advertised. Aside from the actual space to park at the site, it was otherwise quite spacious. Also, lots of landscaping for privacy. Verizon signal worked great.
Did go down to see the other campground (Flamingo) in the park. While that campground has electric hookups (50 & 30 amp) I really liked the sites and feel of Long Pine Key Campground much better. Also, there was zero Verizon signal near the Flamingo visitor center and campground.

There is only one water spigot to fill tanks for this whole camp ground. It is located on single lane sanitary dump site. I waited 50 minutes to fill tank. Sites are very small. Showers are solar and tepid at best. The only positive is that you are in the National Park. Not many hiking trails. I will not return.

Visiting the Everglades, we decided to stay at Long Pine Campground. Dry camping and only but so peaceful.
Bathrooms are not the best. They have solar showers so if you wait until later in the day to take one, it might be a little chilly.

In this video, we provide a walking tour of the Long Pine Key Campground within Everglades National Park and show you the best campsites. Long Pine Key Campground is located close to the entrance to Everglades National Park on the left after passing the park headquarters and visitor center. Verizon cellular service clocked in at 12.3 Mbps download speed and 6.45 Mbps upload speed. AT&T cellular service was 1 Bar LTE, but a speed test failed due to poor connectivity. There was no T-Mobile cellular service at this location.

We loved our time there. It’s quiet (when people aren’t running their generators), and wasn’t buggy for us. We were in site 92 and happy with it. We drove to Flamingo, 35 miles down the road, and there were tons of mosquitoes there. We were super happy we were at LPK.

Long Pine Key campground was a great location to explore the park. It was close enough to the Homestead entrance that a drive to Shark Valley Visitor Center and trail was just over an hour away and the Flamingo area was about 40 minutes away. The site we had was very nice. The length of the concrete pad seemed quite a bit shorter than the advertised size of the site, but our 30 foot trailer fit nicely in the pad for 38-47 foot. If we had a bigger rig, we would not have fit on the pad. However, you weren't required to stay on the pad, so larger rigs were able to arrange their setup to fit the site. Our site had a lot of grass on both sides of the pad, and the grass was well mowed. The sites seemed to be pretty well isolated from each other by the foliage. Our site was in one of the loops, so it was a lot more private than the sites along the perimeter road. The restrooms were clean, but the showers had water that was heated with solar, so if it's chilly and cloudy, you won't get a warm shower. The staff was very friendly and helpful upon check-in; and they let us know they had bug spray, firewood and ice for sale. The dumpsters were pretty full all three nights we were there and we were told they would be emptied the day we were leaving. Generators can only be used from 8AM - 8PM, and the staff was great about ensuring everyone was able to enjoy the night sounds. We had a huge owl visit on our first night there, but other than birds, we didn't see any other wildlife in the campground.

Administered by a contractor, they only give 10% senior pass discount. You do not get to reserve a specific site.The sites are lovely although many of the concrete pads are quite short and on the wrong side for a trailer. Had we known that they don't care that you stay on the pad, we would have arranged ourselves differently. That said, we had a wonderful week exploring the park and taking advantage of ranger led activities.

You can't complain about the campground. The site was a little tight for my 30 ft. 5th wheel. The only complaint I had was I had no cell service for my ATT phone while my wife's low-cost plan worked fine. Jan 2021

Nice campground with plenty of spots this time of year. No hook ups. Sites get plenty of sun for solar. Generators allowed 8am-8pm. Dump station near the entrance/exit.
AT&T had one bar and worked sporadically - not good enough to use for work though. Verison works great.
Nice walking trails nearby. Lots of mosquitos and bugs if you walk the trails so be prepared.
Saw a couple gators in the pond. Heard owls at night.
There are showers and bathrooms. Didn’t use them though.
The “Robert is Here” farm stand that you pass by on one of the main road before the park entrances has delicious milkshakes and smoothies, along with fresh fruit, jams, etc.
The boil water notice was over by the time I arrived.
