Accessible via the Tamiami Trail, this dispersed camping spot provides a dirt parking area directly along a canal within the Everglades and Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area. The FL Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission manages the site, which allows alcohol but prohibits pets.
Campers park in one of two available spots, though one sits right next to a water pump building down a steep hill. Bank fishing draws visitors to the canal, where airboats run throughout the day. The location lacks water, hookups, and other services. Bright lights from a nearby detention center, canal crossing infrastructure, and a casino create significant nighttime illumination that affects the camping experience.
