Sleep Smack Dab In The Middle Of The Everglades In These Unique Florida Cottages

Trail Lakes Campground in the Florida Everglades offers unique camping experiences with Chickee Huts and Safari sites.

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.

Some of you might wonder, "Camping? In the Everglades?!"...yet once you see these awesome safari sites, you will want to jump right in.

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.

Now, Trail Lakes Campground provides an ECO-tourist site where the land can continue to be preserved and appreciated as it should.

Chickee Huts are located throughout the area, which are traditional Native Indian-styled cabins with thatched roofs and open views of the surrounding swamps.

Imagine falling asleep to the sounds of nature surrounding you, and nothing but sunlight to wake you in the morning.

Guests to Trail Lakes Campground will also find Safari clamping experiences, too.

The Safari sites are a little bit more upscale and less rustic than the Chickee Huts.

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.

It’s like a true nature Safari without never having to leave the country.

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.

Bring the whole family to Trail Lakes Campground for a weekend experience that you’ll always remember.
