Reviews
"We visited in feb on our way to lane bay chickee. Very cool spot. It's pretty slow going through tight mangrove along the trail until you reach this point."
"A good spacious site nestled in the woods. Lots of bugs so be ready. Also be aware that there are mice and critters so keep food contained."
"We stopped here for a break on the hells bay trail and if this was where we were staying I think I may have gone home. The entire site was deep mud, and there really wasn't any major rain recently. The everglades is a land of water, I would definitely suggest staying in one of the chickee sites instead."
"We stayed one night after Lane Bay. It has some open spots were you can choose to camp. It's a big site so it could fit 3 tents but we stayed overnight by ourselves. There's birds in the morning. Very nice and good for resting."
"Great place to stay on an overnight trip from Hells Bay Trail. It is a ground site. Lots of mosquitoes so prepare. It was on the trail from Hells Bay Trial-head to Lard Can that I saw my first python in the everglades."
