Everglades National Park Passes

Every Everglades National Park wilderness-permit entry point on recreation.gov - AllTrails ratings, demand scores, and a trailhead map.

Everglades National Park in South Florida protects a vast subtropical wilderness of mangroves, marsh, and coastline, best explored by kayak or canoe along the Wilderness Waterway and coast. A wilderness camping permit reserves a specific chickee (elevated platform), beach, or ground site for each night of your itinerary. Popular paddle-in sites in the cooler dry season can be competitive, so plan around the booking window.
