It is officially time to start planning some out-of-the-ordinary things to tackle this summer. Don’t let another summer pass you by. You know exactly what we mean…where you reach August and have no idea where the heck the time went. If you’re looking for something a bit odd but totally cool to take on in Florida, we have the perfect overnight adventure for you.
Trail Lakes Campground in the Florida Everglades is a camping experience that you do not want to miss.
Trail Lakes Campground is run by a family that is among the last of the traditional Gladesmen—people who have used the land for sustenance throughout the years.
Chickee Huts are located throughout the area, which are traditional Native Indian-styled cabins with thatched roofs and open views of the surrounding swamps.
Yet, for those who want to enjoy the area without any frills and fuss and who want to experience the simplicity of the swamp, Chickee Huts are the way to go.
During your stay you can even take one of the famed Everglades Adventure Tours, from kayak tours to swamp buggy tours and even a night tour if you’re brave enough.
To find Trail Lakes Campground, you can use the address below:
40904 Tamiami Trl E, Everglades City, Fl, Ochopee, FL 34141-2004
Guests interested in Trail Lakes Campground and Everglades Adventure Tours should book reservations in advance. You can learn more about the campground by visiting the website or the Facebook Page.
